January Pictures

I love when all three sit down together to read a book...also this is a good time to snap a picture because they are relatively still!

My tub of scrap ribbon proved to be quite entertaining 

When Claire was little, she would sit sifting and sorting and playing quietly with the rice box.  Now, with the boys, things are a little different.  I'm going to be finding rice for months!

Are sensory bins really worth the mess?

When James moves into Ethan's room, he'll use this boat shaped toddler bed.  We had it out in the foyer for awhile and the kids had so much fun pretending it was a boat.

Baby #4 Gender Reveal

IT'S A BOY!

Christmas Break 2014

Claire's preschool class party.  I was a volunteer that day, so I was able to come in and help the kids each make a little Baby Jesus out of a sock.  It was fun seeing Claire with her peers, and she seemed very proud to have me there.

A visit to Tennessee.  We did more than open presents, but we didn't take pictures of much else!

 

James hard at work.  He did a brand new 48 piece puzzle with minimal assistance.  I am once again amazed by his attention span when working puzzles!

The boys in their matching outfits.  Could never get a picture of them smiling together, but got a few of them playing together.

 

A fun visit from my cousin Beth.  Wish we had taken more pictures.  James and Claire were so excited to have her come.  Here they were anxiously awaiting her arrival.  At one point, Claire was trying to instruct James on how to pronounce her name.  I could hear her say "No, not 'beF,' it's 'beTH.'"

 We used some ribbon for an art project, and then James and Claire had fun decorating the downstairs with scraps.

Occasionally they will all play with a toy together...for a minute or two!
