Yesterday the girls woke up with green runny noses, so we stayed in and did art stuff all morning.

French Bingo
Jan 25th, 2012 by ECM
Argh, I accidentally published this in the morning without adding the last picture…so here is the full post, with some bonuses.
Leann and Seth did it again! I’ve been wanting this French bingo set for awhile, and they sent it to the kids for Christmas!
Unsurprisingly, Elizabeth always picks the clothing one and Tommy always picks transportation.
Yay for learning French in a Spanish-speaking culture. =)
And for fun, here are my goofballs:
Playdough Before Naps
Jan 25th, 2012 by ECM
Heavy rains kept us inside for a couple days in there, and things did not go well. I lost my temper, the kids provoked each other constantly, and Susie resisted her naps. Even though the ground was still wet yesterday, I shooed the kids outside to play with playdough. Can you tell how much Susie is itching to play with the big kids?
And just to be real, the kids came to the door and begged to come inside as soon as I took this picture. They don’t appreciate sunshine and fresh air as much as I do!

They’re always so excited to see each other when they wake up!
9 Month Comparisons

Susie actually doesn’t get in to see the dr for another month (we’re combining her visit with Tommy’s 5 year old check-up), but since Bethany mentioned it, here’s a rough comparison of the three kids at 9 months:
Tommy
Elizabeth

Susanna at 9 Months

I haven’t much to say except that she will not sit still. I have to grasp her ankle firmly to even keep her sitting in her high chair long enough to eat something. She doesn’t have the patience to nurse, take a bottle, get a diaper change, get dressed, or let her picture be taken. It’s a fun but exasperating stage.
This is What a 9 Month Old Eats for Breakfast

Yep, that’s half a hamburger bun. She’s decided she likes that better than the little pieces I was tearing up for her. 9 month pictures to follow…
A Little Story
Jan 18th, 2012 by ECM
When I was 16, I used to babysit for a sweet family from church who had a 4 year old, 2 year old, and (I think) a baby.
They had these beautiful blue and white dishes that were well-loved and chipped. I loved the style so much that I made sure to register for them when we got married.
Now our dishes are chipped, too. The end.
