Happy Friday!!!
ONE. We’ve had a couple of good walks this week and actually enjoyed some sunshine! It was even warm enough for shorts one day! The temperatures have still been in the 30s these past few mornings, so late afternoon walks are our favorites. (And this might be one of my favorite-ever pictures of Kaya and Kaelyn together!)
This girl with her crazy hair and sly smirk… She’s always so content to sit and watch the world go by as her sisters run down the path.
Come on Spring! Kaya keeps reminding me that the groundhog told us we’d only have “6 more weeks of winter”, and it’s been longer than that. Haha.
TWO. They’re all growing up so fast that it’s breaking my heart a little… but then I see how much they can do on their own, and how these three sisters really look out for and care for one another. It’s nice to be able to sit back for a moment and just watch them create their own fun.
THREE. I’ve been looking for these little “bug boxes” for the older girls for probably about a year, and this week, we finally found some at the dollar store! Now Kaya is ready for the next time we find a caterpillar!
Are they not the cutest little entomologists you’ve ever seen? They’ve been searching everywhere for something to catch, but besides a few ants, they haven’t had any luck yet.
FOUR. We had a super-simple family night this week, and it was Kaelyn’s turn to pick the treat. She saw some ice cream cones in the grocery store and instantly knew that was what she wanted (although I did have to explain that the cones didn’t come with ice cream already in them like the picture on the box portrayed)! I dipped them in melted chocolate and sprinkles to make things even more fun.
It’s the little things that still make them the happiest (including deflating balloons, apparently…)
FIVE. We were the only ones at Kangaroo Kids this week, so my girls ran around probably twice as fast as usual because they didn’t have to worry about waiting their turn for anything. And all the bubbles were just for them! They napped really well once we got home, too. đ
Happy weekend!
FIVE. This sweet little baby girl, with curls on the back of her head and that completely wild ponytail, was just waiting for her Daddy to come home yesterday. She’s getting so smart- anytime she hears the lock on the door click, she immediately looks that direction and asks, “Daaa?” She just knows that it clicks, the door opens, and Daddy comes through! It’s the sweetest thing.
Happy weekend!
Kaelyn inevitably loses some along the way, so it kind of turns into a treasure hunt. I love how happy these simple little plants make them.
FOUR. Everyone always wants to be just like Daddy! They love pretending to “program” (and yes, Kaya’s using the pillows as a fake laptop)!
FIVE. Scout can be a serious goofball sometimes, but she’s obsessed with her family. Anytime Michael or I leave, she sits and watches for us at the door. I love having a dog again.
This little monkey is also trying to climb more…
…while the littlest monkey isn’t monkeying at all. When you’re the third baby, you sometimes have to nap on the go!
On a recent walk, a lady told me that I need more kids in my stroller. I told her that if there were any more, I might not be able to push it up the hill! Really though, I love having all these seats full (and this stroller is still one of the best things ever)!
We went shopping for baking supplies for Kaelyn’s birthday cake, and Nella sat in the front seat of the shopping cart for the first time ever. As evidenced by her silly little grin, she loved it! She’s had a few more rides since last week, and she kicks her legs and smiles happily every time.
Someone was excited to pick up her birthday balloons…
… and someone else was excited to show off her cute little teeth!
These are the days, and I’m glad I’m living them, even if I’m not writing about every detail.
