February 7 (3 months old)
Today
Kiddo's checked out books today...
Bennett chose The Wonders of Nature and Where in the Wild. The first one hadn't been checked out in so long that it didn't even have the updated barcode system attached to it.
Annabelle chose Oh, the Pets You Can Get! and Fancy Nancy (for about the 20th time)
Eliza chose Gossie and Gertie and The Legend of the Christmas Tree
Bennett decided he wanted to give his friend a pair of shoes he no longer wears for his birthday. I gave the mom a heads up. Thought that was sweet.
The baby was fussy today. I'm thinking she's growing and needs to eat more than I had gotten used to.
Annabelle and Eliza were laughing so hard together it made me laugh!
The three big kids got rowdy before bed and were whipping around the house screaming and laughing. My sweeties love to be silly and have fun and I love that they love doing it together!!

Today
Eliza took a 2 hour nap. A nap is VERY rare for that girl! (but now she's still awake...agh!)
Eliza instructed that I pat her butt with each stair we go up, on the way to bed. She does this most nights as I think it's become part of her nightly routine.
Eliza said tonight, "you're my best friend Mommy!"
Annabelle and I cuddled together as she read her book to me.
Annabelle was bummed her play was postponed due to weather.
Annabelle went to school with kinky hair thanks to the braids she slept on the night before.
Bennett cuddled next to CallaMae so she could see what he was watching on his tablet.
Bennett ate most of an 8 by 8 pan of orange jello.
Bennett asked Eliza to sit in the bathroom on a stool while he showered so she could see how fast he can go. He does this often and she usually agrees. I think he likes having someone there with him. I find that's the case with my kiddos. They prefer to have a sibling with them in whatever they are doing.
CallaMae slept during tabletime at preschool (at our house) but woke up in time to play with/smile at/ observe her friend that were here.
CallaMae was awake a fair amount today.
CallaMae enjoyed being held by all her siblings today.
I made the kiddos french toast for dinner.
I worked around the theme of eggs for preschool.
I am thankful I didn't have to drive anywhere today. Again, it was a day I didn't leave the house.
Darrin's junior high wrestling tournament was cancelled. He had leftovers for dinner.

Today I made really ugly but pretty tasty cupcakes.
Today Jenny scored a great deal on diapers for me.
Today I had a cup of tea.
Today I'm still waiting for my husband and 3 big kids to get home. They're setting up for the wrestling tournament tomorrow.
Today I planned a bit for tomorrows preschool. We're going to talk about eggs.
Today my mind wouldn't quit racing about what needs to be organized and what more I can get rid of.
Today I have enchiladas sitting on the stove. They are now cold but it's dinner when everyone gets home.
Today I realized my youngest is almost 4 months old.
Today Annabelle got student of the week.
Today Bennett gave me an extra sweet goodbye when I dropped him off at wrestling. He usually gives some very sweet goodbyes.
Today Eliza spent a lot of time playing with play dough. She also went to wrestling practice in her pajamas.

SNOW DAY!
The 3 big kids shoveled Grandma's driveway.
Mom and I went to Miller's Discount. I spent just over 30.00. I always find something there to buy. Starbucks coffee, pop, cream of tarter, chili powder, Chicken in a Biscuit, and a 33 cent, large tub of outdated Chobani yogurt. I wanted to google the safety of outdated yogurt and figured I'd only be out 33 cents if it was strongly advised you not eat it. Turns out it's fine. The date on yogurt is generally the sell by date and is good for about 2 weeks after the date. I put some in some soup tonight in place of sour cream and we're all feeling fine. Haha!
Darrin and Bennett had wrestling practice with Jesse who Darrin will be taking to the state tournament at The Palace next weekend. Bennett knows all the warmups his dad runs.
Annabelle told me she's saving her money for makeup...Oy!
CallaMae is going to sleep in her room with Eliza tonight. At least until she cries for the first time. She takes long naps in there so I'm hoping she'll have a long stretch of nighttime sleep as well.
Eliza said "goodnight Miss Grandma" when we left her house this evening.
Palmer was vaccinated and went for a walk at the farm.
I hula hooped for 20 minutes using my weighted hula hoop while watching a bit of Ellen.
Darrin and I laughed at a book about the birds and the bees intended for young children. In our opinion, not entirely appropriate for young children but totally hilarious to read. One of the more mild yet still hilarious lines reads, "After all the excitement of making love, the man and the woman feel a bit tired. Like any exercise, it takes quite a lot of energy." Seriously??

Today
I changed between 9 and 11 diapers.
Both girls are wearing a size 4 diaper to bed because I grabbed from my stockpile instead of heading downstairs to grab from their separate drawers.
Baked potato bar, cantaloupe, and fresh veggies. It's what's for dinner.
Eliza painted on tin foil and circled "E's" on a letter search page at preschool today. She also drew a face (well sort of).
Bennett drank from his new water bottle at dinner. Yes, the water bottle he got from the magazine fundraiser:).
We got a new computer desk so I sorted a few drawers today. There's more to do tomorrow.
CallaMae was awake more today than yesterday. She smiled for many different people today.
I bought 10 bags of shredded cheese at the Village Market. They were BOGO. I froze 7.
Annabelle's new jeans arrived today. They're cute on her. She likes them. She's fun to buy clothes for because she appreciates fashion so much! $8.00...Children's Place...free shipping. Can't beat it.
I scheduled a rabies vaccination for Palmer.
I contemplated calling to make an appointment to get my hair highlighted. I didn't. Maybe tomorrow.
The kids stayed up later than normal because we waited for Dad to get home before we ate.
Here's hoping for a snow day tomorrow!! We need to use them up!
Good night!
