highlights from the last week...

We all enjoyed the long weekend with time out West on the farm, and even a Daddy date fishing with the big kids:
...also a little picnic in our backyard.
The little miss has been napping every day off from school, but it wasn't enough to fight off a 90-minute cry-session this morning during our before-school routine. We're convinced a super early bedtime (and possibly switching up the sleep arrangements to give her her own room) will fix the problem...which is a bummer, because family time (especially with Daddy) is already limited. But she continues to delight us with her little antics. . .
and posted notes. . . and posted drawings (this one is to remind us that she loves us every time we walk through the garage door).
And this bathroom masterpiece is self-explanatory (except for the fire sprinkler and security camera on the ceiling). Oh, and that black thing is the plumb hole of the toilet, not anything of a solid sort of nature.
And the boys are their even-keeled sort of masculine selves lately.
Lately Calvin's favorite thing is riding his trike all over the front drive (and lawn), and Jude has expanded his talking to joke-telling, gibbering a quiet joke, then throwing his head back, belly- laughing as loud as he can...no one can resist joining in.

Okay, so the bathroom picture--H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S!!! I love every little detail!

Sometimes I wonder if it takes them awhile to get the hang of a new schedule. After 1.5 months of no Jackson naps he slept until 6:40 this morning--I'm not sure if that time is here to stay--but maybe they need to get "reset." Hopefully Cami will settle into the routine and then maybe you'll be able to back bedtime off a bit again?

Love the sweet pic of your boys too!

Anna- I know what you mean about limited time with Dad. Are kids are going to bed pretty early now. The evenings fly and feel rushed! Hope your new arrangements work out!

P.S. The kids loved the pictures from Cami too! :)

That bathroom drawing is a hoot! Love the purse the little gal has slung over her arm and that looks like quite the loungy toilet! :) That last pics of the boys is precious!
