Ordinary Days, Some More

Playing with Grandma’s sewing machine (sans the needle of course). She’s a brave woman, and insists he can’t break it. I thought she’s spent more time with Lewis than that...
Painting and cutting snow. 


The big boys worked really hard together to make a snowman! They were delighted when we even had carrots in the fridge. 
Exploring our new neighborhood park. Keeper. Love it. 

Now that my laundry is in the kitchen I do a load a day (sometimes two) so the laundry never piles up. It’s a game changer and I LOVE this system. The boys all like to help, and since my clean clothes aren’t being dropped on a nasty basement floor when transferred, I appreciate the help!
Spring is so wet and muddy. But they play outside for hours at a time, so I let it be messy. Plus we have a little are I can use as a mud room, so the mess is contained. 


Slowly but surely we are approaching the landmark where everyone sleeps through the night. Not quite there, but close. 

Trivia Night

Logan picked our table’s theme this year. 
Without running it by me, but it worked out!
In fact, we won for best theme! We didn’t do so great in the trivia competition though. 

They had no idea they were campaigning until they walked in that evening. 

Lewis at School







Preschool Bowling


Lewis went bowling with his class and Logan chaperoned. They had fun!
Does it get any cuter?!
Lewis loves to bowl, and turns out he’s pretty good at it!

Look who won!

Ordinary Days Cont’d

G&G time

I put up a curtain to see how they would be creative and play with it, and they had a few truck shows as well as story time at the library. 
Augustine is a great ikea trip companion. 
So is Aunt Lisa. 
He’s fascinated by this bug set, but the pieces are small so we have to study them together. 
A Daddy can get a lot of work done with his tools while his baby naps in the sling. 
Box houses are always an ikea run perk. 
Our friends moved back to Lincoln, and are living in our little house we just moved on from. We are so glad they’re back!

Ordinary Days

January was a quiet month with lots of snow. We found ways to keep busy. Elias tried out his first fire fighting suit. Boy oh boy did he have a proud big brother!
They mapped out big adventures. 
Play in snow in 10 min increments, come inside soaking wet (read: more laundry), drink tea with cookies, repeat. 
Elias pays close attention. He set up his very own Mass, just like his brothers. 
We replaced our tv, so the boys took the old one apart with Daddy. They are fascinated by how things work. 

Augustine got to read his LEGO book to the class. 

Work From School

My favorites, as of late. 
Seems doable. 
The eyes still impress me. 
Don’t vote Burda. 
Dream big. 
Rational fear for a NE kid.
