Monday...

Yesterday was a fun day. Mondays are always busy and I can tell the kids have missed each other over the weekend.

Gannon is showing Grayson his "dig-its". I love the names kids give things! Super cute!

Tuesday...

We're having a fun day and it's only half over. Lots of cars, babies, cooking, and giggles...

Cabin Fever?!

I hate to say it, but I think the kids are already getting a little cabin fever. Today, the troops were restless, but still had a fun day. Grayson was wide awake this morning, so the kids all wanted to check him out. Grace, Gannon and Hudson kept telling me the baby's eyes were open. Funny!

Definitely wide awake!

Grace said she was holding the baby. Sweetheart.

Getting some big brother practice!

After snack, we colored pictures. The kids said they were making treasure maps. Love their creative imaginations!

While the other kids colored, Grayson finally gave in and went to sleep. Cute little burrito boy!

Brrr...

Grayson's ready for his first winter. Cute!

Smiles to Make You Smile!

Happy, Silly, Crazy, Funny, Goofy, Wild...never a dull moment! Love it!!

Countdown to Christmas

On Wednesday, the 3 big kids made paper chains to countdown the days until Christmas. They were so serious when they were picking which strip of paper they wanted to add to their chain. Big decisions for such little kids!

Didn't they turn out cute? They each took theirs home so they can tear off one ring each day. When the rings are gone, it's Christmas!

If you're interested in making your own, I had a hard time deciding how big to cut my strips. I ended up going with 1 1/2 inches wide and 8 inches long. It worked out really well. By the way, only 22 days until Christmas!! :)

Welcome, Grayson!

Today was Grayson's first day at daycare. It was so nice to have a little one in the house again. Kids grow up fast. Before we know it, this little guy will be running around with a car in each hand with his daycare friends.




Meeting his new buddies!


Grayson slept a lot today. He was pretty cozy in this little bed. He was zipped in at first to keep him away from curious fingers and slobbery kisses. The kids ended up being very good with him and listened when they were asked to not touch the baby. Actually, the 3 "big kids" stood around him and told each other not to touch him over and over. I am surprised Grayson could sleep with all the instructions being given right next to him. :)

Isn't he all boy? I told his daddy today that if he were wearing a dress, he would look like a boy in girl's clothes. Cute little man!

Precious little guy! Did you notice that he ended up in a new outfit? He gave me a little "surprise" during his first diaper change. It ended with both of us needing new clothes and a blanket getting a trip through the washer and dryer. Stinker!

Snow has arrived.

The snow is here, and I think it's going to be sticking around a while. I guess we really can't complain too much. It is December 1st. Compared to last year, this winter is wonderful! During snack this afternoon, the three older kids each got a blue piece of paper and a white crayon to draw their own snowy picture. They did a nice job!


Hard at work!
