First sick day

image

Little #2 missed his first day of kindergarten today. (Not THE first day, it was actually day 10 for him.) He came home last night not feeling well and when I checked him later on, he was running a low grade temp. Poor kid. I hate when my littles are sick.

Bug and Flower Shades

My future SIL gave the kids these fun sunglasses and stickers today. She has a knack for finding such fun things for the Littles.

We also had to try them on Little #4. Her expression cracks me up!

Asleep at the table

image

Apparently getting up at 6:40am (on your own) makes you sleepy when lunchtime rolls around.

Little #3 was quiet all of a sudden during her lunch. I came out of the office and found her like this. I believe that she’s the first of our kids to fall asleep at the table.

Now I can only hope she will go to sleep when bedtime comes later tonight.

6 months

Can’t believe our Little #4 is 6 months old today!  Oh how I love our kids!!

90° in the sun

We broke out the sprinkler that Little #1 bought during his Kohl’s cash shopping trip with Nana. Hot and humid…perfect sprinkler weather!

image

Little #3 isn’t sure about being sprayed. She gets close, gets wet, whines and then walks away. The boys on the other hand, can’t get enough!

A little parrot

“I’m trying to focus” said Little #3 as she was playing with a memory game in the truck at the bus stop this afternoon. I was singing and apparently it was disturbing her ability to make matches.

“Can I have some privacy please?” Said to my mom while she was helping #3 in the bathroom.

I guess I need to keep track of my most frequently used phrases!

Hula

Little #3 asked to wear her “hula” this morning. Nana and Papa brought it back for her from Hawaii last spring.

First tooth!

Last week we spent time up north with Jake’s family. Little #4 had a hard time napping during the day (unless it was in someone’s arms) and sleeping at night unless it was next to me. We all had a hunch she was teething.

Sure enough, tooth #1 on the bottom has popped through!

(Edited to add that tooth #2 followed a few days after this post.)
