This Week

This week has flown by. I think I've done like 20 loads of laundry to get ready for the garage sale tomorrow. (TONS of baby clothes!) The kids are doing well. The girls seem to like school and their friends they are making. They are so tired and grumpy at night though. Lily has gone to sleep a few times at 5:30 p.m. for the night! Emma came home with her 1st report card and got 3 - 100's, and 3 - 98's. Her teacher says she wishes there could be an Emma at each table because she helps keep her table on task. Lily is doing really good as well. She got all E's for hers. They, of course, wanted ice cream as a reward. They've had a lot of fun playing with friends and going to birthday parties this week.

Isn't Emma growing tall! We have running races out front, and she seriously beats me! :)

Here they put on a show with lots of singing and dancing...



The girls came running to me help William. This is what I found: They were so worried about him. (sometimes his legs really do get caught in there). But since he has fallen out of his crib (a few weeks ago), he doesn't get his crib bumper any more.

It didn't last long though.

A little about William:
William is so good. He makes us smile all day! (Yes, he has his moments though!) He is in 18 month old clothes now. He has huge feet. (He's wearing size 5 1/2.) I think he may be on the short side. At the gym today, I could see him while I was working out. He was so cute sharing / feeding all his little friends his goldfish. He doesn't have any separation anxiety anymore at the gym. He loves to be outside. He has been walking for like 3 months now. He's still hesitant with going down stairs. He is a jabber box! It's so cute. He knows what he's saying! He is into everything. He pulls something out of a basket or off a shelf and without looking at it and throws it on the floor. He gives great hugs. He is a Daddy's boy. And a Momma's boy. He likes to eat the top of crayons. He says "bye" and waves as he's walking away without looking back. He also says mama, dada, shoe, drop. I think he's said a lot of other words, but none of them confirmed.
He's a great sleeper. He still drinks from a bottle (I know, I know. I should switch). He LOVES his blankie. Yesterday at Walmart, he laid down on it for like an hour in the shopping cart while I shopped! (that was amazing!). That's all about our sweet Bubba for now.

Gotta get up early tomorrow for the lovely garage sale. The kids are excited because they get to do a lemonade stand. Austin was a trooper and took the girls out to do a lemonade stand about a month ago. They have wanted to for years! They were so adorable. Others driving by thought so too. They earned $23 in just a few hours. Not bad! Here's a few pictures of that since I haven't posted them.
