What we've been up to this week

We are officially all off medications!  {Besides Olivia's inhaled steroid that she will be on all winter}

Still a little Logan coughing & nose running.  Just hoping his fever isn't back after 4 days off antibiotics this time.  Especially because they have to go back to daycare the end of this week.  Ugh. 

Besides getting better, this is what we've been doing:

Organizing the cleaning supplies cabinet.

Wish I would have gotten a before picture.  This makes me smile!

Think he would have believed you 3 years ago if you told him this is how he would spend his Saturday nights??  Fixing Olivia's baby doll's hair.

He was thrilled I was documenting this!

However, after, HE had to get a picture of his work!

The kids broke the kitchen gate!!  We are officially a gateless house.  The kids have actually done fantastic staying out of cabinets.  Backing out of the kitchen when I say I'm opening the hot stove. {The reason we kept this gate up was the safety logistics of keeping 6 hands away from the oven & stove} The only downfall besides toys on the kitchen floor, is them standing right by the cabinet they know contains the box of fruit snacks & whining for more & more & more & more.....

 They all the sudden LOVE LOVE helping.  With everything!  They insist on throwing away their diapers.  Shutting doors.  "Helping" put groceries away.  And especially doing the dishes.  I can't wait until their "help" actually makes my job easier!

 Just make sure they don't slip the dirty spoons in the clean drawer!

 Hayden & Olivia love eating summer sausage, cheese & crackers.

 And I still love that Livi is eating them in these cute little things!

 Now if only Logan would eat!  Toast & waffles with only butter on them, eggs, fruit, yogurt, applesauce, fruit snacks, chips, peas, corn, Sargento sharp cheddar cheese sticks, and french fries.  And I think that is ALL he will eat.  Period. 

Giving dolls & Elmo a bath in their little kitchen sink.  Where did they even learn this??

 Trying new recipies from Pinterest.  Crispy Cheddar Chicken & Balsalmic Potatoes.  I altered the potato recipe some, but this meal was AMAZING!!!

 Pepperoni Rolls.  {or Pizza Bread as the kids called it}  ALSO AMAZING!

Coming up with creative ways to be lazy while playing trains.

Hayden often REFUSES to wear pants.  Toddlers finding any way to proclaim their independence cracks me up {read:  makes me want to pull my hair out.}

 Improving the toy room.

Dreaming of how much I could get done during nap time if I was home 7 days a week, & with non-sick kids!

Aspiring to be like mommy & daddy.  She points to the words, gets excited & says "ABC's on there."

 Growing more hair!  Slowly but surely!
