Day 18, January 18
We went bowling with the Post family. It was Caleb's idea and we had a great time. Riley surprised us and treated the kids to french fries afterwards. The two big kids shared a ketchup and more than few giggles.
Day 19, January 19It took us all morning to get out of the house, but the 5 of us made it to the playground by 11:30. To play on the slides and swings? Nope! To jump in the puddles.
Drying their legs off in the sun after all that puddle-jumping.
Day 20, January 20More little boy antics. They rediscovered the toy box and the kazoos they got for Christmas. They call them their "hoo-hoos" because "that's the sound they make."
Day 21, January 21Gentian Violet for thrush. The bottle says, "Will permanently dye clothing." It doesn't say that it is a permanent dye for baby skin. Kevin says Evelyn looks like a hobo with that goatee. How did she get her mouth to go askew like that?
Day 22, January 22 Gideon playing in his bed, wide awake and happy right before midnight. Thankfully, he drifted off to sleep just as happily, without a peep. (Don't worry, his head doesn't really look like that, it's distorted by the motion and the wide-angle.)
Day 23, January 23Our friend Claire made us some delicious cinnamon rolls. They were finger-licking good. Joshua had two, and part of Caleb's. Caleb liked his, but as usual, only ate half of his sugar-coated deliciousness. (He does the same thing with doughnuts.)
Their initial approach to the buns.
I laughed so. hard. at Evelyn and Gideon all stained with gentian violet. And I know I shouldn't have, because it's totally the sort of thing that would happen here, but I did. Because it's totally the sort of thing that would happen here. Evelyn's face is priceless. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
We've had a bit of a crummy weekend and I really appreciate the pick-me-up. So, thanks. Love and miss you!
I am also laughing out loud at the purple baby faces!
I LOVE that first one of the twins! Evelyn's little mouth is so funny in that one!
