this last week

a little after church snack (fast sunday) of fingers dipped in peanut butter

 monday while noah, hazel, and olive were at school

i took advantage of the 75 degree weather and the fact

 that henry and eleanor weren't ready for naps anyway

and took them on a bike ride to the park

 i realized how little i have ever done just for fun with just these two

noah and hazel got so much time with me doing fun stuff

i need to do more with these two, too

 they loved our outing and the attention

 when olive gets home off the bus

we wait outside for noah and hazel

and we draw letters in the dirt and guess what the other wrote

(a game she made up)

i thought she was so cute guessing :)

 and cute in general

 we had a family home evening lesson about the atonement

outside in the backyard

tuesday i realized these are my favorite jeans

they're black, high waisted and fit perfectly

in fact, i may never wear anything other than high waisted jeans again

they are the best!

also on tuesday michael went to the temple early in the morning

and i went in the evening

we made a goal to go once a month no matter what

so far we've done it! even if ti made for a long day of not seeing each other

i'm glad we're sticking to our goal

 wednesday

eleanor picked the best outfit

 and i enjoyed watching the girls at ballet

 thursday

henry slept with his blanket on his head

which is funny because olive, hazel and michael do it, too

 thursday evening we went to target while noah was at scouts

and suddenly eleanor was eating some cadbury mini eggs....

she swears they were already open.....

it forced us to buy and try the dark chocolate ones..stinker

 and when it was time to leave she hid in the soda cooler...

 a little bit naughty lately, huh?

 some cuddles that evening

 today was busy

i made eleanor's birthday cake, sewed the girls some nightgowns

and ran 8 miles during naptime

so i could leave our weekend free

 the girls were cute in their nightgowns

they all prefer nightgowns

and the fabric is from my mom

so not bad for free plus a few hours of time, right?

tomorrow is eleanor's birthday and we're all so excited!!
