What’s been up?

What’s been up? Mmmm, not a whole lot but somehow we manage to keep pretty busy. You know how keeping up with the house is a constant battle? Meals, laundry, cleaning…today I have it together. Notice the emphasis on the word today. Tomorrow will probably be a whole other story and I’ll feel like I’m drowning in work again but for today I’m doing pretty good. Here are a few snapshots from the last couple of weeks.

Aidan has become an excellent reader and really loves it. His teacher said he is the best reader in the class and he is always volunteering when they need somebody to read out loud. I’m so grateful for the self-confidence he has gained this year that he was lacking last year. At home he is reading The Magic Treehouse series and when given the opportunity he loves to read to Eva.

Last week was spirit week so on crazy hair day we did Aidan and Maya’s hair blue!

 

Eva figured out how to use the magnetic puzzles and it is the cutest thing to watch!

Arabella and Noah “helped” me make brownies. They totally have a sibling-like relationship. Such a love/hate thing going on but while making brownies it was all love.

Yummy!

I guess I’ve taken enough pictures of Eva that she now knows how to pose, or she was just in a silly mood because she hasn’t done it since. She was so funny during her bath!

I just can’t get enough of her!

Almost 19 months old and still not walking…stinker!

Maya lost her 1st tooth and the tooth fairy didn’t forget! Her adult tooth has already grown out half way so looks like we have a visit to an orthodontist in our future.

This totally happened…

Eva was freaking out because she wanted me to hold her but I was in the middle of cooking dinner. I think I mentioned before that Aidan just can’t stand to let her cry. He grabbed her blanket and held her while she screamed for 10 minutes. I told him a couple of times to just put her down and let her cry because I felt bad for him but he insisted on holding her. Eventually, the crying stopped and she snuggled with her big brother. He really is crazy about her and she adores him. I love to see them bond more as they get older.
