the end of february 2019

 we took the kids out for saturday morning doughnuts


 and to the unbound library because it's henry's favorite place
(with 3D printers, robots, games, etc) and lucky for us we happened to go on the last day before it's permanently closed






 shortly after this picture her tower collapsed

 catching snowflakes on his tongue through the sunroof
 henry was the only kid we took to lowes and somehow he was still really hard
we decided to take the kids bowling on president's day





all of our bowling shoes

we went on a double date with the hunts to cafe rio and shoe shopping
it was so much fun
 riding his scooter down the driveway backwards waiting for his ride to preschool
 girls' night to the movies
snow
 i love how go-with-the-flow jude is
monkey
 me and my friend melanie had matching braids at school pick up

eleanor and henry were so cute having a sleepover
 sometimes i get fancy with henry and jude's snacks
 all 6 kids went sledding at the tiny park a block away without me while i made dinner
and it made me so happy that they could do that and no one came home crying
 silly eleanor
 we let the big 3 kids invite 1-2 friends over for a pizza/movie night 
it was wild but fun and they loved it

 noah and his friends played video games the whole time
 olive and her friend watched a movie on the projector in her room
 hazel and her friends watched a movie in her room and were super silly 
it's crazy how grown up our kids are getting
 i love getting our pantry organized
it's harder and harder to keep jude out of the coop and from letting the chickens out
i love it

 i love that we can sneak out for lunch dates
 fell asleep reading on the couch
 hopefully henry and eleanor learned their lessons about coloring faces with sharpies....


 nail painting
 henry went in the garage all on his own and dug out these old favorite 3T pajamas for himself...silly
 sweet eleanor
 noah almost wouldn't eat his favorite cereal (special k with red berries) because he realized
the back is covered in advertising to women about their health :)
 brothers
jude seems to be wanting more independence over his clothes
but i have to keep onesies on him because he scratches his skin so much otherwise
but the other day at the library he kept pulling his pants down
and every time i fixed them it made him mad 
 pouting with his pants down
 michael surprised me with lunch because he's very sweet
 i decided to go all out with our taco tuesday just for fun
and all on his own henry went and got michael's old sombrero out of the garage :)

 pants down again...


playgroup
 pants down at playgroup
hopefully this phase passes soon :)
although i think he's actually just looking for his belly button, which he can't get to
preschool pick up

 we haven't had much time together with my new calling, michael's new busy work schedule and ym
so we met for lunch
henry and jude loved henry's fire station field trip for preschool




 henry spilled a bit of milk and his first instinct was to lay in it to sop it up...
 we took eleanor on a little date to target while the girls were at activity days
she picked out these cute kitty glasses, a jump rope and a candy
 practicing her R's for speech
 i made challah
