Today

C started sucking her thumb.  It's funny to see.  The first of my children to do so.

C also gets up on her hands and toes like she's wanting to bear crawl.  That would be interesting.

E took a catnap on the boat while the big kids did some tubing.  She's been partying hard during the day but hasn't been sleeping in as long as she used to.

E didn't want her chicken at dinner but loved the tortellini and blueberries.

A was rocking a pretty creative outfit.

A caught the first fish of the night

B caught a turtle on his pole.

B helped his dad paint a piece of football equipment.

A. E and I walked around town this morning/afternoon to check out the magic week events.

A, E, and I went to the village market where the Kiwanis was selling 1 dollar lunch meals.  I bought 5 so I didn't have to cook.  For 1 dollar you got a hotdog, bag of chips, bottled water, and a mini ice-cream sandwich.  Can't beat it.  The Village Market was giving away free samples.  I got a whole box of crunchy granola bars and two packages of pudding cups.  I love free things.

I tried an IT WORKS wrap last night and revealed the results this morning.  IT WORKED after just one wrap.  Unfortunately I will not be purchasing more as they are expensive but I just had to see for myself if I could actually see a difference.

Sorry CallaMae

for not posting a new picture on the blog header.  I have spent time trying to figure it out but get sick of it after about 10 minutes of trying.  I will figure it out eventually!

Kid Speak

So our Eliza is 3 today.  I can't begin to explain the joy she brings to this family.  What an amazing gift she is!  I'll write more about our girl later.  For right now I wanted to put into print some of the cute things she says.  I find the 2/3 year old speech processing so fascinating.  You can actually see their little brains at work.  Here are a few cute things she has said lately.  So wish I could remember them all.

Today her Dad took her to get doughnuts at Yoders.  She kept calling them peanuts.  "Dad and I are going to get peanuts!"

The other day she asked me if she could "whisper the floor."...she meant swiffer.

She got out our bucket of beads and asked if she could dump out the "seeds."

And she loves to help me clean and "spray."  When she's done with each job, she always says, "Now we what to do Mom?"

Love her!!!  Wish I had a super memory because knowing I won't remember so much of the adorable things the kids do and say really upsets me.  I can't even remember from one day to the next sometimes.
