Passing the time at Grandma's house with a game of cards.
Crashed out at Grandma's house. The kids were incredibly well behaved last weekend when we stayed at my mom's because of all the showings we had for our house. It was just easier to not even try to live at home and keep it impeccably clean at the same time. They went to bed when they were told and even went right to sleep--highly unusual!
My Dad always used to take pictures of us sleeping, there is something charming and loveable about a high energy kid so peaceful in sleep--I understand now.
Ashley and Camille LOVE "baby oranges" and they have a fettish with making designs with them on the table. After this picture Ashley said, "where is Grandma?" and ate an orange. Then, "where is Grandpa?" and ate another, then "where is Jamesie?" etc. Apparently it was a little family of oranges!
This is Emma with her good friend Tory who lives across the street. I went on a field trip with her a couple weeks ago, and we had a great time. We saw a children's production of Sleeping Beauty. I love to see Emma interact with her classmates, she is a different person than she is at home. Emma saved me a seat on the bus on the way home, it had been a while since I rode the bus.
I have lots more, but it is after eleven and I'm exhausted! Ashley and Nate tag team me at night, so I haven't gotten much sleep lately. A couple nights ago Ashley told me to leave the ladder up for her (she sleeps on the top bunk) because she was going to be scared in five minutes. Nice.
