a typical tuesday

this morning i ran/walked for thirty minutes

and olive stood by with her thumbs up

such a sweet cheerleader

then we went to mcdonalds for breakfast (shhh don't tell noah)

because it's how we bribed hazel to take medicine last night

for the fever she had

then eleanor found a piece licorice on the kitchen floor

and instead of taking it from her, i took pictures of her

she's our fourth, what can i say? 

at the same age (8 months) my dad gave noah a candy cane

and i almost had a heart attack but eleanor got to enjoy her treat

i figure, if she's not allergic to it, it's fair game 

michael and i played lots of cards today

and during one of our games he dared himself to jump on the trampoline

barefoot in the snow for a kiss

 oh, and we made lots of messes

legos, nativity, coloring

you know, the usual

 and while the messes happen daily

i suppose it wasn't all that typical of a tuesday

we don't normally take kids to mcdonalds for breakfast

eleanor doesn't normally get such sweet treats

and michael doesn't normally stay home and play all day

it was way better than a typical tuesday
