Sleepy Reader

Every day after lunch Jake asks to go "night night"; he loves his naps almost as much as I do. I usually let him take a book or two to bed with him and this day he apparently fell asleep reading. A kid who loves to read and nap? He must be mine!

Mother's Day

I sure enjoy the love I feel from my kids and husband on Mother's Day. I woke up to a feast surround by (mostly homemade) gifts and three excited kids. It took me about 15 minutes to ohh and awe over everything they gave me and I smile at my mantel full of cards and creations every time I see it.

I sure love this family of mine. I lucked out for sure!

Help

I so love it when my big kids see an upset baby brother crying at a mommy who is trying to do something and they take him away and make him happy! Logan is reading Jake his current favorite library book I'm the best artist in the ocean. The last pages fold out and every time we get to the end Jake unfolds it and says "da da!" for "ta da!" and then says, "Again!" and wants it to be read again, and again, and again...

Interesting

"Mom, do I look interesting?" Yes, my love, you do. But then, to me, you always do!

Sewing

I mentioned to a friend that Ali was sewing things out of tissues and she took pity on her and gave her a bunch of her sewing scraps. We didn't see much of Ali the next few days because she was in her room happily sewing away, and was particularly pleased by how her new shirt turned out!

Hat

Jake had a great time entertaining himself with this hat.

Houdini

Logan likes to try to get untied from crazy knots; we have our very own Houdini in the house!
