lego store, ikea, speech therapy and really good curls

a week or two ago we went to the fashion place mall
and while we were there noah and michael checked on the progress of the new lego store :)
it'll open in a couple weeks and noah is so stoked
 another day we went to ikea and michael took this picture of us watching a movie
waiting for 3/4 of our kids to get to play in smaland while we walk around ikea without them for 1.5 hours
it's amazing...also i love the other people in the shot with us...
 guess who's twelve weeks today.....this girl!
but i took this picture on sunday
cause ain't nobody got time for getting dressed up on a thursday
 michael made cookies with the girls on sunday
i think it's cute how involved they all want to be
noah was upstairs reading or he would've been in on it, too
 this was on the dropbox...i assume it's something michael is working on at school..
good job, honey!
 yesterday all three girls woke up one by one and cuddled me in our bed
i am grateful everyday for my friend michelle giving us her old king size bed
life changer! 
ignore how tired i look in the picture...i was/am
 we went to DI yesterday and let eleanor hold our slurpees
she thought she had died and gone to heaven
and didn't want to give them back
and look, there's blurry noah
 today olive started her mom and me speech therapy class
she and i both kind of hated it
i don't think she got much out of it...
we'll probably try it one more time and if she doesn't like it
i'll switch her to one on one speech therapy at the kids' school
then she didn't want to go to ballet afterward and says she'll do it when she's 5
and was terrible all day long
she's currently awake and harassing me while i type this
and i put her to bed 2 hours ago
she makes me crazy lately
and i think the speech delay is part of it
but it's also her defiant/stubborn personality that doesn't want to do anything...
unless it's her idea
hopefully it's just a phase....that's already lasted well over a year
and i'm probably just annoyed because i'm tired and pregnant lately
 in other news eleanor had really good hair today
the curls just rolled into themselves
so pretty
pray for me that olive sleeps soon...........

Olive is a smart girl and knows something big is happening. It is amazing how quickly and early these little ones pick up on new babies coming. Can be hard to share mom. It is good that she gets so much quality time with you - but I hope she also takes LOTS of naps so you can rest!

I love the ikea movie picture. Too funny. The cuddle picture is pretty precious!!!

First of all, loved the censored picture. :) And Rachael is a stinker at night too. It drives me crazy! Let me know if you figure out how to get her to do what you tell her to do. Until then, I feel your pain!
