Another Week

Yesterday was nice. We had our friends, the K family, over to play on the new playset. It was tons of fun to spend time with them - as always. It is crazy to see how big our kids have gotten. Her oldest is now 4. She was about 15 months old when we started hanging out. Time flies!

Today was L's dance class. She is really enjoying herself. I can't wait to see her recital in June. After class we headed to Costco and met up with the K family again to get some stuff and have lunch. It does get a bit chaotic with my 3 and her 2 but we manage just fine. I don't know how having 5 of my own would be. I was trying to talk Daddy Piper into #4 tonight : - ) It didn't go over very well though!

Dinner was carne asada and great conversation tonight. I was supposed to go out with the moms from our homeschool group but am just so tired so I skipped it. The kids did hop the fence and visit the neighbors for a bit tonight. They really enjoyed themselves. We went and visited the local ice cream shop tonight after dinner. That is always a fun excursion and cheap - $8 for everyone to get ice cream and such quality time together.... FUN! I am listening to Daddy Piper sing "Little Bunny Foo-Foo I don't want to hear you crying" to Baby J right now - so cute.

L: She was awesome in Costco today. She does so well listening to me in public, except when it comes to using the restroom. I wanted her to go with us when S had to go but noooo she didn't have to go only to have to poop NOW when I returned from taking S. That bugged me. She did get a new swimsuit today for upcoming swim lessons. The kind she and I like with the racer back.

S: He is just an wonderful little boy. I do believe he is going to eat us out of house and home though. He had 1/2 a hot dog, a piece of pizza and 1/2 a churro and was almost crying because he was still hungry. I am so thankful that he has never gone hungry. He gets super upset when he gets the least bit hungry. He had mustard and ketchup all over him from lunch today - it was too cute : -) When he's hungry, he gets this whiny, crying voice and says "I am so hungry Mommy".

J: We are starting a new bathtime/bedtime routine with him. He needs to be sleeping in a bed, instead of a swing and going for a long stretch like he was. He is great at sleeping in his swing but should be in a bed. I just don't want him to be like his brother in 11 months, Mama having to hold him on the couch just to sleep. Baby J is also a cooing, happy baby. He loves to be talked to and loves to be around people.
