the last few days and some exciting news

 i thought olive looked like mother teresa with this towel on her

later that day she was telling me she wants 6 babies when she's a mom

and she'll need me to buy her a car and a house

i agreed to all of it

but i hope she'll live near by!

 after church it was really hot in the car

so eleanor stood and got her curls cooled off by the a/c up front

 noah didn't let the temp keep him from kissing henry

hazel's teachers spoil her every week

this week was starburst and a hershey's bar

luckily she's pretty good about sharing

 me and little grumpy eleanor

i might have been a little grumpy, too #fastsunday

 henry fell asleep on our bed as soon as we got home

while i was trying to quickly make him a bottle

 michael enjoying his after church meal of pepperoni pasta and a root beer float

 this morning olive and hazel woke up extra early

and got their swimsuits on

because they were so excited for swim lessons

 noah, hazel and olive are in swim lessons for the next two weeks

noah was really nervous

but he loved it so that was good

 on the way home they convinced me we should go to the neighborhood pool

since they were already in their swimsuits

it was an easy sell

 plus it included eleanor in the swimming fun

 jumping in

 henry is hilarious

and i think he knows it

 noah asked me to take this picture of him and text it to michael

it wasn't a super warm morning

so hazel and noah got some purple lips

but it was fun anyway

and the exciting news is...

we put an offer in on a house last night!

we should hear back by tonight if our offer was accepted

it's in our neighborhood

in a good location

with a big backyard

and the same model as we're currently renting

it needs a little cosmetic work but it's a great price

and we're really excited to hear if it's ours!

ahhh! our own house!

we've been waiting a long time for this

and we can't wait to get our hands dirty and make it ours

wish us luck!
