2.is dressed up as rapunzel when she’s not in school clothes
3.loves writing stories in a little composition book she has at home. she illustrates them as well. so cute.
4.is VERY into all types of music. she is the child that knows all the words to every song she hears.
5.is having a hard time after school each day. we leave at 7:40 and get home at 4 pm…that makes for a LONG day. she’s tired and it’s causing her to get very grumpy,bless her heart. hoping she’ll adjust soon.
she-
1.gets herself dressed every morning as soon as she wakes up and before she comes downstairs. she used to choose dresses but now has moved on to separates which can be…um…interesting? don’t you DARE tell her that that striped tunic does not match that floral skirt. don’t you DARE.
2.tries to pick up the babies and carry them around all day long. responds to SADIE NO!!! with a smirk.
3.loves the fresh beat band, always wants to watch it and sing and dance along.
4.is loving taking showers “ALL BY MYSELF”!!!
5.could do puzzles all day long. she is patient, serious,and VERY good at them.
1.smiles all.day.long. this is not an exaggeration. she is the happiest baby i’ve ever known.
2.splashes like a MANIAC in the bath and scares me half to death. she lunges, bounces, tries to stick her mouth in the water…terrifying.
3.puts everything in her mouth
4.loves to give me big open mouthed kisses (more like slobbery licks, but i’ll take ’em)
5.says DADADADADADADADA all day long ever since j came home. hmmph. i only hear MAMAMAMAMAMAMA when she’s hungry. š
she (cate)-
1.has taken to making this LOVELY face constantly. this is the “bulldog” face. all of our children have a period from about 9-11 months where they do this face obsessively.
2.snatches and grabs at everything. especially faces.
3.loves baby mum mums and gerber puffs. i buy them in bulk mainly because of her.
4.doesn’t want to be held. there’s too much CRAWLING and EXPLORING and PULLING UP to be done!
5.screams really loud and sooooo high pitched at me if i take something away from her!
he:
1.is always holding at least one of his daughters. i cannot find a photo of him without at least one girl in his arms since he’s been home.
2.may or may not have called 911 (his first time alone with more than 2 of the children) 10 minutes after i left b/c sadie swallowed a nickel. you decide whether this is fact or fiction.
3.has been helping me do some crossFit work outs. he is in amazing shape. me? i almost died. but i didn’t throw up and i didn’t quit. i consider this progress.
4.is very very jealous of the iPad he gave me.
5.made us the best hamburgers this weekend. one of the best hamburgers i’ve ever had,actually.
she-
1.is certifiably obsessed with her iPad2. she could spend all day on stumbleupon and flipboard if she let herself. it’s a serious addiction.
2.is in a slump at the gym. still loving zumba and strength/cardio classes, but HATING step. also not loving turbokick or kickboxing. burned out. reevaluating how many classes per week to attend and how many crossFit workouts to subsitute.evolving.
3.is wanting to do a blog redesign BADLY.it is consuming her thoughts !:)
4.has been getting ocular/silent migraines lately. think the aura that comes with a migraine without the actual migraine. it’s been a lifelong thing, but they are never fun.

are loving being a we.
happy tuesday y’all!
