There's a whole lot of teething goin' on

P. has lost his two front bottom teeth. One is already halfway in. Yesterday, W got his two bottom teeth in. So I have 3 teething children. Poor little M's aren't nearly there yet. P. has been chewing on his shirt collars.

We've done a little mixing up in our house this week. We finally had enough of the bedtime fighting between P and E, so she's back in her own room and the babies have moved in with P. He likes it better. But I have an even bigger mess than before while I try to get everyone's belongings switched. The babies are in clingy mode, so I have been having to work with a baby in one arm. I haven't gotten much done.

I started redoing my bedroom over spring break. I'll post pictures at some point in the future. It went from really dark green to a light gray-blue.

Tonight P. made a special album. He's been really intrigued by the few baby pictures of him I have in a photo album, so he found an empty photo album and drew some of his favorite memories. It was very sweet. He had his first day of school. Visiting the "newquarium" and the "newseum," camping, and several others. His class at school had a book published. They each did 2 pages. I almost didn't get a copy because I had no idea what it was, but I am so glad I did. He's very proud of it. He still wants to be an author and illustrator.

The babies are trying to crawl. It is very cute. W. is almost there, M is trying. W. wants to explore everything by himself, but M. wants to view the world from my lap. He'll lay on the floor and cry, and as soon as I put him in my lap he's grabbing for everything in reach. Life has been so much better since we've been feeling better.

Spring Break

It’s been a busy spring break. Splitcat and the boy went camping. I painted my room(when it’s all put together I’ll give you the before and after photos). Today we did nothing.

The twins are trying really hard to crawl. W. is almost there. He can get up on his hands and toes. M. just started to get up on his knees and rock. W. has become quite roly-poly. He’s going to be a handful.

P. put on a movie for us tonight. He created backdrops and characters. It was about astronauts and aliens involved in shootout. Only the blue astronaut survived. Then E. did a one-girl show. I’m not quite sure what the story was about, but it involved someone she called “Boy” and a Bible. She was wearing her underwear, high-heeled plastic shoes, a panda purse, a headband worn as a necklace, and she was speaking into a microphone from LibbyLu. The best parts were the various poses she struck while talking. They’ve really gotten into writing and illustrating their own books. We give them all the paper they want.
