Elias Ideas


Elias and Levi have been playing together a lot. They like to make beds and read. 

He’s been bringing home so.much.art. 

Including this earring he made for me. 

Elias was struggling with a lot of things on his mind. They were all things he had to wait for, so we made a list to get it all out of his head. 

Then he drew a picture of each thing so he wouldn’t forget.

Toddler Fun


He kept saying “Thomas! Thomas!” I finally figured out that the drivers were both named Thomas. 





He’s been playing stories he knows lately. This is Little Blue Truck’s Christmas. 






Lewis’ Bedroom Update

Lewis got a room revamp because Levi will need the bed he was sleeping in come summer. 

The little boys had a hay day with the boxes. 

Lewis had a hay day helping Logan build the new bed. 

The last thing he needs is a Lego shelf!

Practicing


I made Croatian nut bread for the first time as an adult. I was really happy with how it turned out. 

I made two small loaves and then twisted them together. I thought it would distribute the filling throughout every bite. I think it worked pretty well. 

I tried again today with some more ideas. I used coarsely chopped nuts, I used more filling, and I used coconut sugar in both the dough and the filling because it messes with my blood sugar less than white sugar. It turned out well, but I think I’d like the nuts a little more chopped up. The coconut sugar worked really well in the dough.

Time Together


He’s reading in there believe it or not. 

The horse hadn’t been out in a really long time so the little boys had fun for days!

Levi has started reading while he eats breakfast, just like his brothers. 

My new hat is cuter on him than me. 




Fun at G&G’s


Levi is discovering all the firefighting fun to be had at G&G’s. 







Augustine made a nice tea party at snack time. 

Levi made brownies with Grandma Susan. 





And helped her sew…with truck, of course.
