Tortillas

 I discovered how to make homemade tortillas a while back.  Since the discovery, the girls will only eat my tortillas.  That is great because the are yummy and as healthy as they can get since there are no weird or unknown ingredients.  It is bad because it is sort of a lot of work.  Fortunately, I have helpers every time I do it!

Look at that face!!

Girls are working hard.  Not sure what Killian is doing but he is definitely involved.

Everyone hard at work.  

Wants his rolling pin back :-)

Fun with "new" discoveries

Keeley found her giant penguin from her second birthday and became (temporarily) obsessed with it.  She tucked it in to bed with her the first night.

As we were packing up some stuff to stick in the attic, the girls saw the banners we had for their birthdays.  They wrapped themselves up after bath as "crayons"

Family Reading Time

Very sick and ordered to "rest" by the doctor, the kids decided we should snuggle and read.  Love them.

Busy little guy

The last week Killian has started doing two new things.

* Sommersaults!  So cute.  Because we took the girls to Little Gym when they were younger, I knew how they taught those and have been doing the same little song to teach Killian since he was tiny.  He loves going upside down.  He has just learned how to do them on his own and it is adorable to watch.  He'll stand on his tip toes with his hands planted and push off until he rolls.  Most of the time he rolls a little sideways but sometimes he does it perfectly.  He lands with such a huge smile.

* He has some sort of internal radar that lets him know when rooms are opened if they shouldn't be.  Without fail, he'll scurry off to explore the forbidden area.  We'll notice he's gone and go track him down.  Promptly removing him from the room and closing the door behind us.  This week he has started to close the door behind himself when he goes in the room.  This buys him a little more time as he quietly explores the room from behind the closed door.  At first I thought it was an accident.  However, one morning I caught him closing our door so he could get to the dog food and when he realized he was busted, he gave me a mischievous grin. The next morning I found him climbing on to Kayden's bed and he gave me the same smile.  Adorable little stinker.

My loves :-)

 

Funny things...

Each of the kids have done/said some things that have made me laugh this week:

* Keeley - On Monday morning I received a text message from the mom of one of Keeley's friends telling me her son was going to miss school because he was sick.  I told Keeley at breakfast and her immediate response was a terrified look and the exclamation, "MOM!  What am I going to do?  He kissed me!! I don't want to get sick!"  I responded with, "He kissed you?" And she said, "YES!!!  On the hand and he did it AFTER the teachers had said no kissing other people!"  I then asked what she did when he did that and she replied, "I said I didn't want him to kiss me and then I told the teachers."  She was scandalized by the event but seemed to feel better when I reassured her that I didn't think she'd get sick from that!

* Killian - At our morning snack time, I offered Killian some yogurt.  He normally loves yogurt.  This particular morning, however, he pointed at his little chest with a look of all seriousness and said "choose" while very purposefully walking over to the pantry to get into the snack basket.  After all, that is what his sisters do and he should obviously be able to do all the same things they do.

* Kayden - Yesterday we were all outside playing before dinner.  I had to run inside to take care of something in the kitchen and asked the girls if they could watch Killian for a second.  They said yes and I came inside.  Moments later I heard Kayden screaming, "MOM!!!!  I can't do it!  It is TOO HARD! It is too hard for anyone.  He won't cooperate!  You have to come now."

Playing outside

Killian is a busy boy all the time.  He loves to climb up the playset when we are outside.  That still stresses me out, not sure when that worry will stop.  Today he complicated it even more.

That is a baseball tee that he dragged up there into the tunnel...all by himself. 

Getting the ball up there too, obviously.

Deciding he wants them back down.  Looking down trying to figure it out...

Trying to get down with both at one time.  He did decide that  was not going to work after awhile.  He got the ball down and then left the tee up there when Dad got home. Thank goodness!
