Stuck!

Miss J got this stuck on her head this week, lovely!

She has developed a fascination with the upstairs bathroom and using this seat, and has been scolded more than once for putting it on her head. Hmmm.... How do they come up with these things? During nap time she got into this scrape while I was getting snack ready. I think she has learned her lesson, and we all got a good laugh out of it too!

A visit with Aunt M

Aunt M was in town this week visiting from Germany (well she was visiting her parents, and we were lucky enough to get to see her too!). We had such a nice visit with her! The kids loved playing games, playing outside and just visiting with her!

Rob came home early from work and we all had a lovely lunch together and then a nice chance to just sit and chat for a while. We did miss having Uncle D here too, but he is out playing Army.

pulling teeth

Mr. R had a loose tooth for a week or so and he noticed that it was ready to come out on Sunday. We were all sitting around listening to Rob read to us when he asked if I could pull it out. Miss E was sitting next to him and offered to pull it, and he let her!

Mochas with M

Mr. M loves Mochas and he is learning to use Rob's machine. He was eager to help me make these last week on his "special helper day".

I had fun enjoying them with him!

Friends from Germany

Some very dear friends of ours were in town from Germany last week. We were so blessed to be able to spend an afternoon with them! We had such a wonderful time catching up over lunch, coffee drinks, and dessert.The kids all had a great time playing together. They played upstairs for quite a while, then Miss E had the great idea to get the train set out.
Later the boys went outside to play and visit, while the girls stayed inside. I had a wonderful time talking with my dear friend Mrs. J, I always love our visits and have missed her so much this past year since they moved away. Miss J fell asleep on me and transfered over to Mrs. J so I could get Miss C up from her nap. I'm so glad Mrs. J had the chance to get a good cuddle with "Baby J!"

 

We all moved on to the farmers market in the late afternoon. The kids all had fun checking everything out, and sharing the huge bag of kettle corn that Mrs. J bought. Our time together ended much too soon.

Girl's night

Rob took the boys to the men's dinner at church one night this week, so the girls got to have a "girls night"! I had fun having just the girls around.

Miss E took some time to read a book I had given her that day, and to cuddle with the kitty.

Then Miss J and Miss E got into the dress up stuff and brought some fairy wings down for Miss C. Isn't she just too cute?

Since there were only three of us eating dinner I decided to skip the cooking. We found some yummy goodies that ended up making a great dinner.... Baked brie, sausage, rolls, and apples!

Good Morning!

I love Saturday mornings! This last Saturday the kids roamed in one at a time to cuddle (except Miss E, she went downstairs to read), but usually they all manage to come in at the same time. We love having the extra time to cuddle with them and play before heading down to start our day.
