Ha Ba

Vaughn held up his hand and yelled, “Ha Ba”.  It was so clear, he was saying “High Five” to me.  I gave him high five and he laughed.  Then I went down the row and the other two boys slapped my hand.  Jamie and I have never given any of the boys High Five (that [...]

Mother Hen

I was overcome with pride when Lucy’s teacher told me today that she was excited to have Lucy back in school.  We were talking about how shy Lucy is.  But the teacher said that anytime any of the other children are not feeling well, Lucy runs up to them and puts her arm around them and tells [...]

Lucy’s First Brawl

Lucy has been asking me to buy her a “brawl”.  She’s 4.  There’s no way.  Instead, someone suggested I buy her a package of white tank tops.  So I did.  She loves them and wears them constantly. 
Yesterday we went to the Garwoods for dinner.  She was really in to Brody…their 14 year old.  He was [...]

Monday

Jenny won tickets to the circus, so we took Lucy and Grace.  The girls seemed to like it. 

After the circus, we went to Steve and Donna’s for a BBQ.  They provided the steaks and potatoes…we provided the children.  Seems like a fair trade.

Saturday

Headed down to Nana and Papa’s house about 2.   Girls played outside a lot.  Boys played were contained in the Sunroom.  Fairly relaxing day.  Aunt Jenna took Lucy and Grace to her house to spend the night later that night.  Girls loved it.

Friday

Happy Birthday Paulie!!
I came home at noon to relieve Jamie from watching the kids.  The afternoon started out ok…but ended horribly.  Gavin still wasn’t feeling super great…but much better.  Lincoln was in pain from teething.  Before everyone went crazy…the girls and I went down the basement to clean the TV room.  After seeing a huge [...]

Thursday

Mom came up to watch the kids again.
I had a meeting at work so had to stay until about 2:30.
Paul and Jenny came up and we had supper at the Pizza Ranch.  Paul’s birthday is Friday so it’s an early celebration.
Lincoln started running a temperature.  Brought him to bed with us for a while two [...]

Wednesday

Mom came up to watch the kids today.
Gavin ended up sick and at the doctor’s office.  His bloodwork came back fine. 

Tuesday

Tuesday was tunnel day at our house.  We turned the three cribs into tunnels.  It kept five small children entertained for quite a while.
