Last night we had a slumber party. I let the boys stay up late then we ate cake and they watched a little of Jonah. Then we all slept in Ian's bed two at each end. Once we got situated it wasnt too bad:) They love it and since they stayed up later they went right to sleep and I got to sleep a little earlier too.
Today has been regular busy. Lots of laundry a little cleaning and we made bats with handprints. Now it's lunch then put Josiah down get Avery up feed her then entertain her while M&I play outside in sprinkler. About the time Josiah wakes 2-2:30 she will go back down then I will get dinner prepped then a Iced latte for me and let Josiah outside too while I sit in the sun and enjoy my drink and the boys!!

Today I started going thru stuff. We are going to have a yard sale sometime soon. Anything that dosent have a home or specific use goes. Living in a two bedroom with 4 kids leaves very little space.
We had a very nice suprize in the mail today:o) Thankyou Aunt Rachel, Uncle Ted, and Cousin Arden! I love the outfits and shoes for Avery. The boys enjoyed the treats:) Did you know that I called my belly BUG (boy uh girl?)when I was prego? I figured I would call a girl my ladybug and a boy doodle bug. So glad I got a ladybug!!!!! Not too long ago I bought her 1st bday dress from gymboree. I had been watching it and was on sale and a friend ggave me a 20% off coupon too. It is a sundress covered in ladybugs I got the hat too. All that to say the ladybug outfits are perfect!!! And I have always wanted shoes like that:)

Got online before Roy!

Tonight brought an unexpected suprize. Roy failed to tell me the men were having a meeing after the bible study. The good part was Joni and Marilyn stayed too so we were able to visit some. So the kiddos did not get to bed untill 10:( May be trouble for tomorrow. I put them in the nursery with some little toys. they soon tired of the toys and brought them to me along with a bunch of screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and such. My boys took apart the small wooden crib! I am continually amazed at the things they do! The looks Micah gave me as he was telling me not to go into the nursery were priceless. Then Josiah blew it and kept repeating over and over "crib broke! crib broke!" Of course they wanted to help dad fix the crib!

Food for today:
Whole wheat toast, butter, milk, coffee
pb&honey sand. milk, yogurt
iced latte introduced to the floor by Ian
