Dog House

Today I built the boys a fort...I mean "dog house". They loved it, and I loved that they loved it!

One of Those Afternoons

I should have known the afternoon was going to be rough when none of the kids wanted to take a nap and when they finally fell asleep they woke up after an hour. I didn't want to get them up knowing they would be super cranky...so I just let them cry themselves back to sleep. It seemed to work and they slept for almost two more hours. Unfortunately, they woke up in horrible moods. They definitely all had their meltdowns this afternoon. This picture was in the middle of Justus'.

Two for One

This morning I had the luxury of sleeping in. Jonathan, however, came in and woke me up at 715 and said he thought the boys weren't feeling well. I told him there wasn't much we could really do unless they were actually getting sick. He left the room and fifteen minutes later came back telling me that Justus had thrown up. I got up came to the living room and Matthias then got sick. They went back and forth getting sick for about an hour or so. The only highlight was that Justus learned that you should throw up in the toilet, so that at least saved us some clean up on his part. Matthias didn't quite get it, so we would just put him in the tub. Anyways....they were very easy to watch this morning since they just laid around. After the first rough hour they didn't get sick again, and after nap time they were back to their normal selves. They also had a monster appetite. Justus ate 6 french toast sticks and two waffles and some fruit loops. Matthias ate 4 waffles and some fruit loops. Whoa....I don't even want to know what they are going to be like as teenage boys when they are hungry!

Nap Time

Nap time on Sunday can be a little tricky. Matthias always falls asleep on the way home from church. He is then convinced that his 20 minute cat nap on the way home is sufficient, which it's not. Needless to say he went to his room for a nap, but didn't sleep very long. Jonathan then got him up at 130, turned on Monsters, Inc., checked his email, turned around to find Thi completely out on the couch a few minutes later.

Day 2

Today was day #2 of our garage sale. We decided to try the 2-day garage sale this year...not worth it. That's okay though. Anyways, today's item of choice for the kids to play with was there Halloween costumes from last year. Matthias wore his lion costume around for quite some time. I know he had to be hot, but he looked so cute!

Bouncy Baby

Jon and I are having our annual garage sale and of course that means dragging a lot of stuff out that hasn't seen daylight in a very long time. It's so crazy how the kids love playing with all the old toys that we bring out...ones they NEVER touched when they were in the house....but now they are new, different, exciting. Anyways...the bouncy seat has been the cause of a couple little spats today. I brought it inside in hopes of getting the cover washed so it looked a little more appealing. The kids love it! They love turning on the white noise and just sitting in it....even though all of them are way too big for it. Charley just likes crawling all over it and trying to climb onto the couch from it.

Lollipop

Charley is such a great eater. She will eat just about anything...including sticks, leaves, crumbs, anything found on the floor. One thing she LOVES though is suckers. She gets so mad if she thinks I am going to give the boys a sucker and not her.
