Have my dreams come true??

Is that really a blue camo ninja here to put away all that laundry?

Sadly, I tried to ask and scared him away before he completed the task.

The roll master

Maybe the rest of us need to sit on the table and make that face!

Yahtzee!

It's Elijah's night and he wanted to play Yahtzee (he's a weird 3.5 year old, or so we thought). Turns out the kid has luck beyond belief. Honestly, those non-perfect scores are pretty much all when he told me to roll. Poor Bryan had a stellar game but he couldn't even compete. I mean, who gets 4 Yahtzees?

Remind you of anyone?

(I'm sure his piano teacher would not like his posture, but I was trying tho sneak the picture.)

Five Little Wilhelms...

All sick with a fever.

I've always hoped they'd all be sick at once so maybe I could get something done- sadly, they're too needy for me to get anything done. I'm taking advantage of the sweet snuggles as I study for AF testing. (And praying Bryan and I can miss this one!)

General Lafayette Returns

One great positive about being a slow grower, is that you can wear things much longer than the average kid. 15 months and going strong!

Snacks at the Park!

It's sunny and 44. And we've been cooped up all week with illness. The older boys went to their partnership classes today but the littles weren't well enough for that. So they wanted to have lunch at the park. And they packed it themselves. Good thing I fed them lunch before we came, because their version of lunch isn't the healthiest! They have chips with hummus and salsa, fruit snacks, apples and bananas, and water. We bought Gatorade at the commissary which means they opened both drinks for each kid and we'll likely be watering the grass with bottled water. I'm so grateful that we seem to be the only people who frequent the park on base so we don't have to feel guilty bringing kids who may still be contagious to play here. And I can blog while they play because it's not crowded!

Happy little voters-in-training

We went to vote in the primaries yesterday, these three were excited to "help" and get themselves a sticker. When we got home, Noah expressed concern over the kids breaking the law...evidenced by their stickers. And Jonah went right to asking Selah who she voted for.

She quickly replied, "George Washington!"

How I wish he was an option!

"Mama, I will protect you!"

If that doesn't just warm your heart. Elijah is such a sweet kid.

Family fun

Not a bad picture to interpret the personalities of our family...

Summer?

Mom: Selah, grab a coat, please! It's like 19° outside.
Selah: Mom, I can't! Coats are my worst enemy!

Once outside...
Selah: Ahhh! I can't see! The sun is so bright! It's hurting my eyes! And it's so warm it's like SUMMER!

Yes, it's a balmy 22°F today. And sunny. You may want to break out the shorts.

Measure Guy!

Elijah: Mom, I'm a good measure guy, aren't I? 

He's the best,  let me tell you!
