Catch up for the week

This boy is just so cute, we can't help but take pics of him. He was waiting to get his sheets changed before bed, so he made himself one in his chair.
Reagan came to play with us one day last week. The kids love playing with their cousins!

One night, we went in to kiss the kids goodnight before we went to sleep, and Carly had gotten in bed with Chloe and they were snuggled up. It was so cute. Carly is the one with the glove on (she wears that so she is not tempted to suck her thumb)! I love the bond these girls have - it amazes me!

And Finley is right there with them! We have been telling them that when/if we move then Finley will get her own room. They aren't loving that idea!

Finley tried some broccoli tonight. Matt came home and she looked like this!

Harper was trying to get the girls to play party with him today. They were busy coloring. I felt bad for him because he wanted someone to play with so bad, so I volunteered Finley. Harper loved it! He ran and got her some toys so she wouldn't eat the metal pots (but he did give her 1 cookie). They looked so cute. They are such buddies!

Yes, Finley is in a baby high chair - she loved it!

Side note: For the inquiring minds - we are putting our house back on the market! We are just patiently waiting for God to tell us when it is HIS time for us to make a change! So for now, we wait..... We did go out house hunting and found a place we really like. Will let you know what comes of it!!

Carly's Book

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday this week, we have been reading some great books. Today we read Green Eggs and Ham. I read the story, they watched the cartoon on you tube, we made green eggs and ham to eat, and then they made a book. I was quite proud of their accomplishments. They did this all by themselves! I just supervised.

Picture of Carly - she has a heart hairbow.
She likes circle and rectangle crackers! She also made sure to add the stems on her apples.

She likes bananas because they are shaped like crescents! She copied the cover on Green eggs and ham - she did an awesome drawing. The ham even has the fork stuck in it like the cover!

The black this is a roll (rowl) she likes crescent rolls too! and the picture on the last page is her sitting at a table eating all her favorite things! Great job Carly!

Chloe's Book

Here is Chloe's version:

This is a picture of her. Believe it or not, it is very detailed. She even drew her belly button before drawing the shirt. This is exactly what she had on today. You can't see the eyelashes. She took her time and made sure everything was in this picture. She did a great job.
Here is her green eggs and ham. She even drew the fork in the ham and it was on on a yellow plate. Now the next picture: She loves rolls - dipping rolls. I give them a bowl of oil and balsamic vinegar to dip their roll in, so the brown blob is the roll and the purple on is the bowl with black scribbles - that is is the balsamic vinegar!

Her meat - it has a fork in it. The other is a cracker. She likes the octagon kind - that would be vegetable wheat thins. She did the speck of seasons on the cracker. She was so thorough with her pictures.

This one is my personal favorite - Jese Poos: translation - cheesy poofs! This is her eating a banana - notice the yellow on her lips. And she also added a scratch on her forhead and a scab. She is fun to sit and watch as she thinks of all this stuff. I love it! And here is her reading - we couldn't get the whole thing in, but you get the jist!
