A few morning acitivities

Its been quite the busy morning.  I decided to let Julia get lunch at school today.  They sent a calender home that says what is for breakfast and lunch each day.  They actually have a great menu here with very healthy choices each day and the kids arent allowed to only get like one thing, or a all of one thing.  It teaching them about making healthy choices, which we do at home as well.  She only gets school lunch once or maybe twice a month, but she likes the change.  I need to remember to bring money to add to her account.  Its $2.50 a lunch and $1 for breakfast but shes never eaten breakfast there.  It seems kinda expensive for a school lunch but i dont have a choice, another reason why she doesnt get to get it at school very often lol

Came home from walking Julia to school, served up snack a little bit later as i downed some more coffee lol.  Since Aubrey was playing on the floor in her play gym, i brought out the paper and crayons from the playroom to let Madie and Ella color.  Put Ella in her high chair and she got excited to color!  She did really great with the crayons too!  I think we are almost past the eating crayons stage.

So excited! :)

Proud of her pumpkin!

  There was still like an hour before lunch time, so after they colored a some paper pumpkins, i pulled out the play dough.  Ella actually did really good with that too.  She only had to be reminded a couple times about not eating that too :)  They played with the playdough all the way up until lunch time, PERFECT :)

Put Ella down for a nap and then off to my room to go through some baby clothes that Aubrey has already grown out of, and also go through some clean clothes to put in her drawers.  You wouldnt think that it would take so much time, but baby clothes are small.  And after having 3 girls before Aubrey, the wardrobe is NOT small and takes forever!  Aubrey was in her crib while i was dealing with the clothes, because i knew she was tired.  She kinda started to whine a little bit, but i patted her back for a couple min. and she was out.  Both youngsters are sleeping at the same time again, i hope this continues to be a schedule.  I like this mini break with just Madisen being awake.  Now if only i could get her to take a nap too!  Lol she's only 4 and 1/2, not too old yet.  haha  Speaking of her not being very old, she is right next to me reading books.  Like actually reading most of the words, and sounding out some.  Im so impressed!  All my hard work has and is paying off! :) 

Little Aubrey thinks she is pretty big too.  She isnt even 12 weeks yet, almost, but not yet.  And she is full on rolling over from her back to her stomach.  The earliest any of mine have done that, and my others were pretty early too, but like in the 4th month early, not 2 months! lol  She just did it for the first time on the 21st and now she does it everytime she is on her stomach.  What a big girl!! I pulled out the Bumbo seat for her today.  Decided to see if she could handle it for a few min.  Looking at her sit in that thing, you'd think she was much older than she is.

 I only let her sit in it for about 5 min. while i pulled some chicken out and marinaded it for tonight.  While on the topic of food, i am not going to get Organic bread anymore.  Maybe its the brand or something but i just cant keep up with it molding.  And we go through a lot of bread!  But everytime i get down to the last few slices they are started to mold between the pieces.  I freeze one of the loafs because it will surely go bad if the one in the pantry goes bad with in a week.  UGH, its frustrating!  I think we will go back to our Oatnut bread.

Well so far both babies are still sleeping.  Ella usually takes a 2 hour nap.  Aubrey is hit or miss, especially in her crib.  Going on 45 min. in her crib now though.  She has longer awake periods during the day, so her naps should start to become longer too.  She actually was awake for most of walk to and from Julia's school today.  That was a first! lol  Today was "wear your favorite sport team" day.  So of course i had her, Madie and Ella in the Oregon Ducks gear :) 

Madie says when im typing it sounds like music.  LOL huh??  I know i type pretty fast and she says the sounds of the keys going so fast sound like music.  hmm ok :)  Thanks Madisen! lol  And of course as i finished typing the last sentence, Aubrey has woken up and Madie has brought me a card lol.  Such a sweet card though.  Off to dust and clip the babies nails...

Those are shoulder pads!!  lol

Until next time...
