All in all, it’s been fairly mild this winter so the kids have still been able to be outside a lot. SO happy about that! But, I feel like at least one of us has been sick since October. We just keep passing stuff around. Blegh.

This little sugar could sit here on the barstool next to me and color all day long. I asked him what his favorite part of being three was and he said, “Definitely coloring. And fake crying.” Um, okay. Ha!!

At this point, I don’t think the backyard will ever be done. Ugh. The boys asked what they could do to help and Jon told them to dig up one of the dead trees in the yard, so they came to the door like this and told me they had on their “hard worker faces”.

We’re back to our normal school days! In a lot of ways, I was really excited to get back to school. Not for Jon to leave, but ready for a routine again. Nathan has been doing amazing – he’s set to finish two years of school this year, which is crazy! He has worked so hard!

On this particular day, all of the kids were just in a super weird, funny mood. I turned to give Nathan his reading book and he was laying on his back on the couch with his feet and hands up in the air pretending to be a dead possum so he didn’t have to read. I couldn’t stop laughing the rest of the day.

We made homemade ice cream that night and Parker just kept giving us a play by play of the entire thing. “It’s turning! It’s turning more! It’s freezing! It’s freezing more!”

And finally, I was rocking Eisley to sleep and she wanted to sing a song so she started with, “Mary, did you know? Your baby boy go to the potty.”

Kids. They do keep you on your toes. 😉
