  E4 is much happier- the tooth broke through on April Fools Day!  I can only feel it- she won’t let me look at it, much less get a picture of it.

  At bedtime, E3 usually gets ready for bed and then lies on the couch until I can get E4 asleep so we can do our bedtime ritual.  This time she was so run down from fighting off a cold she was asleep almost as soon as she lay down.  (I had to google “lay and […]

  E4 is now clapping her hands!  She loves to play Pat-a-cake with E3, and as soon as she starts saying the rhyme now E4 starts clapping too.  She also really likes “If You’re Happy and You Know It” and any other song I can think of that has clapping in it. I kept trying to […]

  E2 and E3 needed new summer-y shoes, and they really wanted to get Crocs like E1 has. They have a kiosk in the mall, so we spent the afternoon picking out colors, trying them on, and choosing buttons for fun.  Since K and I already each have a pair and E4 doesn’t need shoes yet, we […]

  We had such a fun day.  We went over to my brother- and sister-in-law’s for a playdate since their kids had spring break.  They got to play outside some since it turned out to be a pretty nice day, and catching any of them for a picture was close to impossible.  As E2 ran […]

 We go through many, many crayons at our house.  I buy several boxes of the 24 count crayons during the back to school sales when I can get them for a quarter a box, and we use them all before the next year.  I have always figured the 24 different colors were enough for the […]

  We have one of the best next door neighbors!  Besides being very friendly and doting on the kids, almost every week she brings over a bunch of bakery items to share with us.  This week she brought a pack of rolls, a cherry strudel, two giant cinnamon rolls, a pan of plain frosted brownies and a […]

  I took this as part of my current “there’s art in everyday things” series, but I think it might be stretching that a bit. I was washing dishes after everyone was asleep, and it made me think of the kids asking to play with the bubbles created from the dish soap in the sink. They […]

  I beat my April 1 deadline and got E4’s longies done!  I’m technically still working on the drawstring, but I’m not going to count that because she can wear them without one.  I took several pictures, but due to teething I couldn’t get a good one without her hands in her mouth.

  E3 and her cousins helped my father-in-law roll the cookies in powdered sugar.  They had so much fun, and they spent the rest of the afternoon on a sugar high from licking their fingers completely clean after every one.
