Gettin' Behind Again

So here's a catchup post, full of random, unrelated things.

A while ago we had an open house at the school for both the big kids.  It was fun-cute to see them in that environment, and they're all proud, showing us around.  We also got to bring home some things they'd made.

First we had to try and guess which one of these owls our child had made, using the clues they wrote on it.  I was pretty proud of myself because I picked Paige's out on my first try, just by how she'd decorated her owl, the colors she chose and the bow and eyelashes.  As soon as I read the clues I knew it was her. 

I loved this one about her pet-In the drawing Gia is standing up to steal food from the table.  Ha!

Cason and I had a robot building date several weeks ago.  I've mostly given up on food related dates with him, because when he's eating, I may as well not even be there.  :)  Anyway, the robot building was a lot of fun.  He made two-the ones on the outsides in this pic, with NO help from me at all, other than baking them when he finished.

Neely has been very into drawing lately, and even wrote her first story-which I'll post about soon.  

Reed is his usual sweet self-showing his wonderful personality to other people outside of his immediate family more lately. 

He is so playful and fun, and affectionate.  This particular day he was nursing, and took a break to blow me a kiss.  Oh maaaan....

He also made his first friend, at the park one day.  :)

He's a handsome little man.

He actually takes fairly regular naps in his crib, which makes him the first of our children to do so.

He still gets so excited to greet the big kids at the bus stop each day, blowing them kisses from about 100 yards away as he spots them getting off the bus.  :)  He's a lover.
