Our Little Family: September 2013

September 16, 2013

Seasons...

I always find myself telling Rob that we are living through different 'seasons' of life. The sleepless night season, followed by the Saturdays full of kids activities season, mixed in with the we're never sleeping in again ever season. Well tonight we enter the 'jumping out of the crib fighting to stay in a bed' season which started this evening with gusto. Kenedi jumped right out of her crib when she realized she could get her leg up high enough. We watched it on the video screen and with the delay, we heard the bang before we saw it. Even after we lowered the mattress, she popped right over. Poor thing. She was shaking so bad when we walked in there. Her face white with fright. Getting big is hard. So tonight she's jn her crib, with the side off. Which means she will probably fall off the edge. Right in the middle of the night. And we're trying to figure out if she will make her way up to our bed... Should we leave on the lights. Oh geez. I don't know!

September 15 I 15 things

I was inspired by a friend who takes one day out of the month and documents the day in pictures. She usually does the 11th. I chose the 15th because 1. I had to do this on the weekend and 2. next week is the 20's already and that feels like a lot of pictures!

1. Kenedi's little (Big?) butt cheek often pokes out on one side. We tried big girl undies today. She peed twice on the floor. ....

2. Will is stuck on Minecraft. I have met few boys you aren't - including teenagers that are leaving for college next year. I don't understand building things out of pixelated squares but they sure do! Charlie, his friend, speaks Minecraft language!

3. Kenedi was the only child home for a little while today and she got to play with Addi's Legos. She was adorable.

4. I'm working on my camera skills. I even took a class a few weeks ago to better understand the fancy controls. When the instructor asked me what model my camera was I replied 'The Costco 2012 version'....not appropriate camera language. In this picture of Kenedi....I think I got my manual setting spretty good.

5. 4th grade homework is hard. Not really. What's hard is when you wait to do it until 6pm on Sunday evening and are tired. Sometimes it's hard too. Like the Spanish stuff that your parent's don't understand.

6. We painted all of the ladies' fingers. Addi chose sparkly teal, kenedi got rainbow and I went for a gray. I was the only one lucky enough for toes too!

7. YouTube suggested this little gem. Elmo Christmas at SeaWorld. Illegally captured by some tourist with a crying baby (or sitting near one!) Kenedi loved it and it got me thinking of Christmas already.

8. Kenedi selfie. She loves looking at herself. So much so that we got her a mirror for her birthday. A mirror!

9. From yesterday, because I apparently can't take 15 good pictures in one day, Addi had a moment of quiet on the front steps. Attitude has set in with this one and she's not quite sure what to make of getting in trouble and being sent to her room. In the past, we have reserved that for Will. Who doesn't seem to require that kind of attention right now (thank god)
