Wonderful Week

This past week has been so wonderful.  First of all, on Sunday I prayed that I would get to sleep through the night more often than not and slept through Sunday, Monday (yep, two in a row), and Thursday nights.

Monday, we took the kids to Happy Hollow (Grandma Jackie came with us) and had a really fun time.  It was pretty mellow there and the girls got to go on LOTS of rides (thanks to having 3 adults there), which we usually can't do.

Danny the dragon, which Seth did not enjoy!

The rest of the week was really normal, but just fun.  The kids and I just had fun playing at home and the park and running errands.  Seth started saying "look at me, mom".  We picked out super fun books at the library.  Haley hopped out of the car, wearing her fairy wings, saying "ladies and gentlemen, here comes the fairy."  Abby got a terrible stubbed toe, which she's been telling everyone about (I got a really bad stubbed toe, and a big piece of skin came off).  Oh, another great thing was that I changed our dinner schedule a little bit.  The kids always start asking for food around 4:00, and I would give them some little snacks, trying to hold them over until dinner an hour or so later when Carey gets home.  Then, at dinner, they weren't eating, and, worst of all, Haley and Abby were waking up in the middle of the night saying they were hungry and begging for food.  So, this week I started giving them more substantial food at 4:00 and snacky food when we all sit down together at "dinner time". 

 Eating tofu cubes, watermelon cubes, cheese cubes and frozen mango chunks on frilly toothpicks!

Today, we took the kids to their first play.  We saw "Frog And Toad Through The Year" with a cast of kids 4-8 years old.  It was adorable and all three kids did really good (thanks to Auntie Laura coming with us, they each had a lap to sit on).
