Thursday

sometimes, when she's quiet she's NOT getting into trouble
it was a wedding dress kind of afternoon
silly O
today we planted some seeds

What's that noise?

Note to self: always check Owen's pockets before washing his pants. The large rock is as big as my hand. Quite the noise in the dryer.

got to love a good mud puddle

Cait met a large mud puddle on the way home from picking up the boys. Cute.

we love craigslist!

a happy boy
with his
"new to him" bike from Craigslist. He has needed a new bike for some time and we finally found the perfect one! A very happy boy!

I love a long weekend

I went to get her toothbrush and when I went to brush her teeth I found her asleep on the floor! She was tired. Haven't blogged much...been busy with homeschooling and living life. The kids in school had a 1/2 day and I needed to make it to the farmers market before they got home. I had 2 extra kids after school let out, J and O had a class at the zoo, then Z and J had climbing until 5! Everyone is tired. night

fun at Iverson

4 boys climbing

Cait went with a friend to watch a ballet class (I know) and we had Harrison over for a full boy afternoon at the park. Lots of fun and Cait had a ball watching "Callie do ballet". She has talked about and demonstrated all evening!

our first homeschool field trip!

We went to the History Center with another homeschool family from the 'hood. Lots of fun. Today we made a pulley!

helping Cait celebrate.
We had a small party today for Cait. She invited family and a few friends. Thank you all for helping Caitlin feel like such a special birthday girl!

Happy Birthday Cait!

She got a pink piggy bank
Our traditional birthday sticky buns
Our beautiful girl

I know I say it every time we have a birthday, but it's true! I can't believe she's 3. She is growing up so quickly. Cait is half girly-girl and half tom-boy. She adores her brothers and loves to sing and dance. She claims she will be a ballet dancer when she grows up (uh oh). We love you Winifred Caitlin Taylor.

had to add...

poor dog. Will the humiliation ever end?

Happy New Year
