A little of our life

Wednesday of last week we went to the story time at the library. Don’t ask me why I go.  The kids don’t really like it all that much and barely participate. They love going to the library but just don’t really care for story time. But, I think it’s fun and it’s good for them to be in a classroom-like setting – so we go sometimes.

Library story time

Thursday we had a playdate with Andrew and Addison. Super fun!

McKay didn’t like it when the puppy used him as a chew toy. It didn’t hurt because he barely has teeth but I think it scared him. He wanted to be held after that.

That afternoon we played around here.

He’s trying to do a somersault.

Isn’t he so funny?  Do you love his underpants and tennis racket? Remember when we was potty trained?  He’s not anymore. He was accident free for 3 weeks and then when I went to Utah he started having accidents. I guess it’s time to potty train him again.

Sadie took the following picture.  She’s loves photography as much if not more than I do.  It’s a constant battle to keep the cameras out of her hands.

Raise the roof!

This afternoon things took a turn for the worse.  Jax has been constipated the past few days and was miserable this afternoon.  I feel like I’ve been tending a birthing woman all day.  He still hasn’t had any success 🙁  McKay was woken up early from both his naps so he was in a bad mood, too.  It was a long afternoon.  I have so much parental guilt when multiple children need me at the same time and I can’t see to all their needs/wants.  Sadie was super difficult this afternoon and I think she was just jealous of all the attention her brothers were getting.  I wasn’t as patient with her as I should have been.  Parental guilt….it’s awful!

I set Jax down on the sofa while I was making lunch.  I turned around from the stove and found him in this position:

Meanwhile, McKay was either at my feet crying to be held or getting into mischief.

He dumped these sesame seeds all over the kitchen.

My dishwasher still doesn’t work.  How long has it been?  Six months? I should really get that fixed.  We use it as our drying rack now.

We also received sad news this evening about my dearest brother, Michael.  He was in a car accident with an 18 wheeler but thankfully is just fine.  He walked away without a scratch and there was very little impact. He said it was a very gentle collision. I don’t know how you can have a gentle crash with a semi-truck while going 45 mph but he says he’s fine.  So grateful he’s okay!  Love you Michael 🙂
