tidbits

this hat is so funny

i think we thrifted it in utah for olive

and now noah, olive, and eleanor all fight over it

and eleanor loves to have me wear it 

 i've been taking inventory of clothes i've purchased for the kids

to know how much school shopping we need to do

i've already bought all noah's size 8/third grade clothes over this last year

all on clearance/sale from gap, jcrew, children's place, h & m

even some vans and nikes and all super cheap

plus a few thrifted pieces

so he doesn't need a thing

isn't that the best?

sadly, i tried to do the same for hazel but she's still lacking

so we'll still need to shop for her

 olive has become a good helper lately

she helped me set the table the other night and did a great job!

 eleanor...

 cool tricks noah!

 michael took olive and hazel to the store the other day 

and i was amazed how much fun noah and eleanor had together while they were gone

they played peek a boo all around the living room and it was so cute

 i love how happy they are

 here's our new basketball hoop

 noah and hazel are at dinosaur art camp together this week

so far so good

and olive doesn't seem to hate having them gone :) 

 while i was making chicken fajitas last night, eleanor swiped the sour cream off the counter

and started eating it by the spoonful

she loves cream and doesn't care if it's sour cream, ice cream, or whipped cream

i guess it's really good she outgrew her milk protein allergy!

 mmmm.....

 then she and noah and olive moved on to the olives

olive loves olives and whenever we joke we should eat her

she says, i'm not the food olive silly!

 last night for family home evening we took the kids to the boise temple to walk around the grounds

 then after the temple we went to costco 

and i wanted a picture of our cute twinners next to each other in the cart..

 sillies

i love how different they are

 henry is getting really good at sucking his thumb

and even hooking his nose with his fingers

so cute

ps.

michael and i have been running off and on for like 5 weeks

and last night i ran three straight miles! holla!
