February 26, 2017

Yesterday Austin, Maisie and Ryan began spring planting.
 It occurred to me that Ryan certainly fit into the "orphan" category -- his pants are on backwards, he's in his pajama shirt, he has marker all over his face and hair, and he went potty in the weeds.  But, we really love him and he's mostly not neglected.

 Eddie got tired out from hiding from his chores.
 Andy's flag football friends.

 Molly fit right in with the stuffed animals at Walmart.
 I can't stay ahead of his messes.
 These cuties play board games after school
Molly helped me fold tons of laundry.  She is four months old.  She weights 14 pounds and 10 ounces, is 25 inches long and loved by all.
                                    
 I cleaned my stove.
 Eddie jumps and while waiting for the kids to get home.
 These two were twins.
 We visited our friend in physical therapy.  We're glad she is healing after her car accident.

February 19, 2017

Grandpa and Grandma Babcock came for a quick vistit.  Our best moments together were playing TENZI.
 Her jammies say "Grandpa Loves Me."
 Many projects were due, so they played games while I did them.
 Valentine's Day was a success.  Here is their loot.

 My lunch was lovely.
 Their lunch was incredibly clever.
 Breakfast was sweet with small gifts and lovely cuisine.
 Maddie's heart hair.

 Maisie's red nails.
 Nick's red shirt.
 Andy's red shorts.
 My lovely table.

While decorating the table the night before at 10 pm, Austin came home and said, "You're a such a good mom."  I started to tear up, because I work really hard, and mostly I get people to do the things they don't want to, and it takes all I have to make this home run.  The day of love was no exception, but they are worth it.  Hugs and kisses to all my peeps, I love you.

Cutest Baby

Someone told me yesterday that I have the cutest baby -- she was right, I do.
I finally took "blessing" pictures of Molly, but I couldn't get her to smile and look at me simultaneously.  Plus, the two little boys didn't help out as they were wrestling beside her, and she could not keep her feet still.  These will have to do.

February 12, 2017

I called my mother and she said she was making quiche.  I decided to do the same.  Both were quite delicious.  The upper was a vegetable with brown rice crust, and the lower was bacon spinach with a pasty crust.
 They found the heavy whipping cream and helped themselves and each other.  My mother said it was hereditary, I quite agree.
 She's very fat.
 And very nice.
 Bath time.
 Wednesday morning by 7:20 am, my kitchen immaculate.  It is lovely.
 These guys came and fixed our spetic tank and dug a trampoline hole plus seven fruit tree holes.
 Later that day, during piano lessons I didn't hear the buzzer on my Italian flavored breads, apparently neither did the other six people sitting on the couch just beside the kitchen.  So, we had a hearty soup in which to dip the bread in and soften.
 He actually crossed paths with her.
 Eddie reminded me that we needed a new baby swing; he was right.  Molly sure loves it.
 These MVPers had two early out days.
 Maisie's new hair cut.
 Meg's usual selfie.
Gross.


 I read a book this week, well almost.  I still have 50 pages.
 I couldn't find these boys Saturday morning.  They were safe and sound and together on the tramp.
 Nick's game -- we all attended.
 Afternoon tramp time.

 Feeding in the bus.
 We have the best rainbows.
 Instead of Sunday dinner dishes, trampoline time.
