every day nothings

michael reminded me i should blog last night

and i couldn't think of anything that had possibly happened in the last week

but then i went through these pictures

and realized that while nothing has happened, i like looking back at the little every day nothings

and that's what blogging is about, right?

so this one's for you, michael :) 

 eleanor has inherited my love of cleaning

and often makes messes just so she can clean them up, it seems

the other day she threw a bunch of blueberries on the ground and then immediately ran for the broom

it's a little frustrating but i know she's just two 

 henry usually naps in his crib

but he fell asleep with me on the bed the other day

and i thought he was so sweet laying there

look at those thighs! i just want to eat them up

 olive and eleanor love to fight over me

it can make me a little claustrophobic but they're cute

 olive and michael doing tricks

 i love this stop sign in our neighborhood

it makes me smile every time i pass it

 olive and eleanor playing on the playground while we waited for noah and hazel

to get out of dinosaur art camp on their last day

 here they are with their final creations

 when we got home they showed me everything else they had made

all out of paper

crowns, purses, money, paper chains, hats

 olive felt so special that noah had taken time to make her some things 

like a crown and hair

 eleanor just saw another mess that needed to be cleaned up :)

 olive cut out a dinosaur while wearing noah's "death crown" with a laser that makes people weak

 saturday morning we were on our way to the park and saw an old car show

with mosly corvettes 

and stopped to look

 the kids thought it was pretty neat

and michael liked it, too

 saturday was a good mail day for michael

he finally got his masters degree in the mail!

 sunday i wore one of my favorite dresses with my new favorite shoes

 aren't they fabulous?

i love them

 later we spent some time on the trampoline

and i wanted michael to get a picture of all of us on the tramp

but first he took some of just me and the kids

and that was about as good as it got

later michael said, "can you believe they're all yours?"

which i thought was funny since they're his, too :) 

but yeah, that's a lot of kids! 

 it didn't work as well to get all of us in a picture

but these three are cute, anyway 

so, a pretty boring week i guess

but that can be the best kind

and michael left me a note every morning to find

which i loved 

and michael and i watched all of season one of prison break

so that was time consuming and nerve wracking 

annnnd we're thinking about building a house

which is exciting and also nerve wracking :)
