today was weird

but first a few cute pictures from yesterday

i think all the kids think the laundry cart is way more fun now that we have mostly hard floor

and not carpet

they've been giving each other lots of laundry cart rides

 then i let olive and eleanor go crazy with the play-doh and it got pretty messy

when i saw the damage olive said, "i know, i know, i know"

i thought it was funny

and actually i don't mind them ruining it because then i get to throw it away

win win

 hazel loved hula hooping at ballet yesterday

 today....

today was funny

i took olive to her long awaited endocrinology appointment

and let's be clear

it was not just olive i took

eleanor and henry were there, too

and i wouldn't say they were on their best behavior

anyway..only to find out that olive is measuring normally!

despite her pediatrician telling us that she hadn't grown in the last year

and making me sick with worry

that she had something seriously wrong with her

so the endocrinologist suggested we get a full blood work up done at the hospital anyway

and we scheduled another appointment with him next week

but i wanted to talk to her regular dr first

and come to find out that someone just entered her 4 year measurement wrong

in the computer and she is still around the 40% just like she always has been

blurg! 

 it really is good news but still annoying

the really good news of the day is that someone is finally going to rent our rental house

so we won't be paying rent and mortgage anymore

HALLELUJAH! 

that was really stressing us out

and...another good thing

olive got her pre-school pictures back today

isn't she a doll?!

 look at my collection on the mantle!

i can't believe how grown up they all are!!

now i need to frame a picture of henry and eleanor, too

 the kids have been loving the doggy door on our screen door

henry even thought about using it today :)

 tonight i picked noah up after scouts so we could have a little date

isn't he the cutest?

 we went to maverick for slurpees

and a little candy

 annnnd michael didn't get home until super late

and i had to work on noah's book report with him for a lot of the evening

it was a pain 

i feel so weird lately

like half really happy and content

and then like i want to explode at the same time

i think having our rental house off our plate will help

and maybe i'm just tired

who knows

maybe if henry started napping more consistently it would help, too....
