Jack’s gotten into the world of little legos and loving it! He likes to sneak off into his room for “big boy time with little legos.” And
Both kids have been loving their CD players! We make many trips to the library to get new books on CD!
This little lady keeps us laughing all day! She says the funniest things and will do anything for a laugh! She also loves to dress up just like jack always has!
We’ve unfortuantely had some snowy days mixed in until April this year so on one particularly snowy March day the kids and I made popcorn and got really cozy on the 3rd floor to watch a movie together! (Polar express of course since that’s the only move they think exists - ha!) I’ll take snow day cuddles with these kiddos anyday!
Big news this month we upgraded to a van! Our kids get pretty enthusiastic about everything and jumped around yelling “it’s van day it’s van day!” On the day we went to pick it up!
In this picture they are all cuddling on the top bed of jack’s bunk beds and Elisabeth was telling jack that he’s the brother and he always has to take care of her and baby Josefine! Lately Jack has been sleeping in until about 830/9. This particular morning I finally went in at 9:15 and put the girls in bed with him to wake him! He loved it! It is pretty funny though on mornings I have to wake him before 8 he will put a pillow over his head and say “Mama I’m not awake yet please leave my room.” (4 going on 15...🙄)
Jack was asked to help Joe a bit outside clean up and take out the trash - he took his jobs very seriously (and recruited a little help)
We’re starting to see some warmer weather and getting so excited to play all day outside! Jack said the other morning “gosh I just love the mornings when the sun shines in and just looks so pretty!” I hear ya buddy!!
Also, I hope to never forget these conversations between the kids:
Elisabeth: “jack! Look at my picture I colored”
Jack: (putting his arm around Elisabeth as they both stood and stared at picture on the fridge)” Elisabeth, that is beautiful but next time maybe try to color the rocks gray instead of orange to look more like real life”
Elisabeth: grunting to try to open a marker cap
Jack: (without even looking up from his own coloring) “Elisabeth, stop, take a deep breath and try again” #sonofatherapist
Jack: “Mama I am the fastest runner in the whole world and Elisabeth is the slowest runner in the whole world”
Mama: “jack that’s not a very nice thing to say about Elisabeth”
Jack: “well Mama it’s just because I’m faster than her”
The other night I closed Elisabeth’s bedroom door for bed and as I stood outside of it I heard her singing herself to sleep with the Hail Mary - my heart totally melted!
