Back to Normal

After our long trip to Montana we are home and back to normal.  We are adjusting to the school schedule and having 4 girls!

Kylie is in first grade and she loves her teacher, Miss Zepeda.  Kylie didn't have any homework this week except to read for 15 minutes each night.  I am amazed at how well she can read already and the big words she knows.  She will choose 3 or 4 books and read them to Molly...yep, that's right, NO MOM INVOLVED!!!!  Totally cool!

Megan loves kindergarten.  Her teacher, Mrs. Taylor, is wonderful and keeps Meg busy.  She already had homework this week and thought she was pretty special...especially since Kylie didn't have any!  I just think she is adorable and look forward to watching her learn to read this year.

And then there is Molly...aka my little busy bee.  Here are a few pictures of what she has been up to.  I have found that grabbing the camera and snapping a picture is a good time for me to collect myself and helps me not to yell at her.  Someday we will laugh about this, right?  :)  This all happened within 3 days.  And it doesn't include many other messes.  Sheesh...no wonder I am going crazy!

She just wanted a little lotion.  After I had her all cleaned up she asked for more.  I said no...are you surprised?
Such a little artist.  She wouldn't let me clean her up either.  She ate a string cheese that turned pink from all the marker...good thing crayola makes non-toxic stuff.  You can't see but it's all over her hands and legs too. 

My little Noelle is getting large too.  She is growing so big.  She is already 13 pounds and her little face is super chunky.  I LOVE it! 

Now, I confess that I was a thumb sucker when I was little, but seriously, 3 out of 4 kids suck their thumbs!?!?!?!?  What are the odds...oh, wait...we have 4 girls too.  :)  Yep, Noelle is a thumb sucker.  She takes a binky too, weird...that probably won't last long.  She looks so darn cute though!
She is really smiling now.  It makes all those late nights and hard times so worth it.  What a miracle.

Look at that chubby face and beautiful blue eyes!

  4. Oh, I bet that spaghetti was a fun one. That happened over here the other day, but with a whole box of Cheerios. At least with those they wanted to help pick them up by eating them by the handful;P
