We were so lucky Friday night to have a quick visit from Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Cat.
Elliot with Aunt Cat’s hair:
Yummy Yummy Pizza, and Great Company!
Shopping, Cat and I found some crazy hats!
Grandpa the Lorax
And although we were all sad to have them leave, Scout by far took it the hardest, she WALKED adn WALKED and paced and paced, and whined and whined after he left.
It was a short visit, but so wonderful to be able to spend time together. Nothing better than family.
Is a busy, busy job. Add on wife and mother, and it becomes even busier!
With the busy schedule of ‘life’, honestly, dusting is one of the jobs that often gets moved to the bottom of my list, especially in the ‘extraneous’ rooms. My goal is to get the home deep cleaned by the end of March. I started this week in the office.
Before and dusty,
It felt great to repair and deep clean the bookshelves. I took everything off, repaired them, and dusted them. And put everything back on. By itself, it’s not that big of a deal, but while having two cute little helpers? Makes the job take a few minutes longer 🙂
I also was able to clean out my sewing table, (which I am hoping to paint Yellow as soon as it’s warm enough!) re-thread my surger (which is a BIG deal too! Even without my little helpers)
Pulled out the old sewing machine, that I am looking into repairing:
Look at the fun old manual:
And a horrible picture of the repaired FHE cabinet.

Such a productive day, I LOVE days where I can visually see my accomplishments.
This little girl loves MAKEUP.
While Toph and I were away last week, she found Aunt Amy’s lipstick, that was zipped up inside the bottom of her purse, and made herself pretty:
And then a few days later, she found my Mascara:
This little girl is going to give me a run for my money! She is so quick! And just LOVES makeup and putting it on. She’s always so happy with it on!!!
Wednesday Night is: Chicken NO noodle soup night.
Gather all the veggies from your fridge, chop them up while the chicken/chicken stock is boiling.
The Kids love it. and Every week thanks to our bountiful baskets, we always have variety!
Tucker was that one. He pulled out his Bionicles, to pose them, which he did…
While Tucker was doing this, Truman was of course wanting to participate, so he ran and got his Bionicles, and set them up for pictures….
Then of course, Elliot needed to participate, so he quickly made a Bionicle. They spent their Thursday afternoon, building away.
Love their creativity. Love. Love. Love.
Most of the time, we take out her elastics before bed, but sometimes, she wakes up with her piggies still in.
Good Morning Lorelei and her Piggies:
Crookedness and all, pretty, pretty cute.
So much of their day is spent at school, and I miss them alot during the day. So it’s refreshing when they rush home, do homework, and smile and laugh, and eat and work together. 🙂
Cute, Cute Boys.
Bottom left tooth:
And pretty happy about it! 🙂
Love.
(And yes Elliot’s pants have a hard time staying up 🙂 Even when he’s sitting down. 🙂 )
I am not a big breakfast maker.
So on special days, (when we have time to cook, clean, and enjoy) we have big breakfasts:
