the rest of a good week, a date with olive and noah earned his bear

i cut myself some bangs on a whim

olive loves that we're even more identical now

 i love how good hazel is about practicing piano

she does it in the morning before school and after school, too

noah doesn't remember as often

 henry taught himself a new trick

he turned the bathtub on and got himself a drink

 hiding my bangs by day two :) 

 getting drinks before ballet

that bun on eleanor is my favorite but she hates it when i put her hair up

 i was feeling kind of down in the morning so michael offered to meet us for lunch

it was the perfect pick me up

cafe rio really nails it every time

 eleanor changes her outfits several times a day

i wonder where she gets it :) 

 sprinkler fun

they love using the slide as a water slide with the sprinkler

 pretty flowers from michael that have lasted a few weeks

 after school fun

i love our backyard

 trying to scare me

too bad they're so cute

 we've eaten dinner outside almost every night this week

including this fancy chocolate chip pancake meal

 i realized olive needs more mom time

and i need more time with her by herself

so after ballet we got frozen yogurt

 and a new water gun from target

i feel bad for olive. she is definitely the middle child and she needs more attention

than i can give her. one on one is perfect. we'll have to do it more

 eleanor picked henry's outfit out for me yesterday

long sleeve shirt, shorts, tall socks and a hat

 noah earned his bear at scouts

he's officially in webelos!!

 painting his face

 pinning my shirt (that i'd made earlier that day :)

 proud of this boy
