Made it through week 18 of staying home!
Time for church at home! Sometimes all three of them manage to stay for at least the singing…
Also, Thomas put on his Christmas PJ’s last night and soon everyone wanted to match! Well the kids at least - either their rooms are cooler than mine or they don’t care if they are warm while sleeping.
Lost track of the little one and found her trying to replace the battery in the train engine. “I fix it!!” She couldn’t quite manage to get the screw out, but she at least had the tool in the right spot!
And look who came for a visit!!! She finally had enough time off of work that she didn’t feel like she would be risking bringing us any sneaky viruses. We were just as worried about getting her sick though, so Neema stayed home while she was here.
I honestly don’t know who was most excited to see who. She thought she heard a kid squealing in excitement when she was walking up to the door, but it was totally me! The boys have been so excited about her coming, but then spent a little too much time asking to play video games while she was here.
They did manage to get some fun games of Catan in while mommy was stuck working though!
I kept teasing Henry that his Nonni was going to pull his first loose tooth since my grandmom pulled my first one out. I had tied a string around it and was constantly wiggling that tooth to get it out - my grandmom just touched the string to look at it and the tooth fell out! I was so bent that she “pulled it”.
He was ready to avoid any attempts to have a string tied around it, but his Nonni is sneakier than that! She cut up an apple for a snack and the first bite took that loose tooth right out! Lol - I was so excited the trend continued!
We finally got a pool fence! Only took us a whole year… I feel better already though! Someone likes to try to dart from their water table towards the pool and stress me out.
It took some debating with the fence guy, but we came up with a layout that still enables us to get to the side yard, have plenty of room at the entrance to the pool and room for the kids to jump in from the side. Winning!
Natalie rediscovered the costumes! The girl certainly has her own sense of style…! :)
