This week I’ll remember..

— how Saturday I felt like I would never survive this stage of our family with the constant noise, the kids impressive ability to trash everyone room in our house with their precious, creative set ups, and lack of hunger at meals but constant snacking and requests for ice cream. Then, Sunday was a totally different vibe. Well, not totally.. Cal did throw his shoes into the aisle at church… twice. And Spider-Man and ghost spider Lego action figures shared Cal’s bread and water. But the remainder of the day the kids played together non-stop with only the occasional tattle over small injuries that were cured instantly. 

— how Cal can now rival his sister in his ability to speak. We were reading a book last night and there was constant commentary “oh yes! I love this part! Watch this Mom! The truck is going to get stuck in the mud! Oh no!” Or he saw a character sitting on another’s shoulder’s and Cal was instantly recapping to me the time he was on Pap pap’s shoulders to watch the excavator. Cal walked me through every moment of that memory “but I can’t remember mom, were you there? Pap pap talked to the guy.. but I don’t remember what he said. But the excavator was in the dirt.. and I don’t know how he lifted that front part? Maybe with a button like my jeep?” This kid has the best little mind and problem solving skills! I can’t think of an exact story but he is quick to find solutions!

— that Elle is still fascinated by snakes. She continues to watch this YouTube channel of a young, female herpetologist but now she is carrying around bracelets pretending to hold their head with her hand in a glove and telling us all about them. It’s especially funny because T dislikes no animal/creature more than snakes. 

— the mess we made making giant chocolate chunk cookies together and how magical it is to have a home full of laughter and family and clouds of flour flying out of the mixer.
