I recently realized there are a bunch of pictures I've either shared only on Facebook or not posted anywhere at all the last several months. It's time to get the blog caught up! I'll do the random pictures from January through March today, then April through June on a different day.
JANUARY
1/10 - I looked down on the kitchen counter and discovered Devon had struck again. So funny!
1/14 - Devon didn't like math last school year. Not at all. So I took a picture with him in his suffering.
Suffering, I tell ya. The smile was brought to his face by the poem he wrote that day entitled "Math Sucks".
1/17 - It had never happened before, but somehow we ended up with a math fest in my room. Two kids on my bed and one on the floor to my side.
1/15 - "Red and yellow, black and white" may not have referred to lip color, but Naomi didn't care.
1/19 - The end cap kids, a future firefighter (or at least what we thought he'd be at the time) and his little brother, setting stuff on fire in the yard. But not before the older gave the younger a lesson in fire safety.
1/18 - It was crazy hat & hair bowling night for the grade schoolers at church. Gabi and Tyler participated, Naomi and Devon helped. Naomi stuck a ton of pipe cleaner in her hair to look like fireworks. Devon put his hair in pigtails. Tyler wore a coonskin hat. Tim usually helps, but was unavailable that night, so Gabi snagged the famous turtle hat Tim usually wears for the occasion.
1/19 - Naomi finished reading
Anne of Green Gables, so I introduced her to
the movie.
1/22 - She wasn't feeling well and chose to konk out in my bed during down time.
1/26 - Devon and Gabi made a bunch of pancakes for us.
1/27 - Devon and Luke played a chess game by phone, telling each other which moved they made and adjusting their boards accordingly.
FEBRUARY
2/8 - We bought several bags of fun chips we'd never eaten before from Wheeler Dealer and had a chip sampling party for Family Fun Friday.
2/18 - Silas and Devon each spent time wrestling Gabi and Tyler.
Naomi sat outside to soak up a little bit of winter sunshine later that afternoon.
2/20 - Tyler decided my bed was the perfect place to read a school book.
Later on he and I played several rounds of
Pyramath. He decided to sneak in a silly face when I took a picture.
So I did the same thing back to him on the next shot.
Then we were silly together.
Finally, two smiling faces.
2/27 - Snow day!
Followed by some crafts.
MARCH
3/2 - Nothing beats a Saturday morning when you get to sleep in and head to Miranda's for pan dulce and doughnuts for breakfast.
Gabi and Tyler are such goofballs!
Me and my sweet girl.
3/6 - Snuggling one of Natie's brothers.
3/10 - Just enjoying the sunshine.
Maria came over with homemade tortillas and a bunch of peppers, we provided the rest of the ingredients, then she made a ton of enchiladas for our families to eat at dinner. So delicious!
3/14 - Because Devon can't just have an ordinary stack of bills.
3/18 - Tyler and Silas spent a bunch of time working on Silas' car together.
Naomi has no need to turn on an overhead light if she can color while wearing a headlamp.
Devon earned his first Benjamin. He knows it would be tacky to tell people about it himself, but, as a mom, it was fun to see his excitement.
3/19 - I looked over at the whiteboard and noticed Devon had taken a break from his math homework to turn the letters from dollar words into faces.
3/23 - Enjoying a day of working in the yard with the family.
3/25 - Devon and Tyler pushed two chairs together so they could be close to each other while doing their own things.
3/26 - I took Naomi to DSW for the first time. She fell in love immediately and had me take a picture to send our friend Pam, her fellow shoe lover.
