Play Time

-


Rebekah has some great friends down here. Here she is with her friend Libby while they munch on some cookies and chill. Rebekah has decided she wants to be Libby. She tries to laugh like Libby, walk on her tippy-toes like Libby, and jump on the pews at Church like Libby. It's all great fun and I'm so glad to see Rebekah bonding with a kid her age. She is growing up so fast. Before I know it she will be asking for the car keys and heading to Cold Stone with her friends for some ice cream.

Loyd is in a whiny, spit up stage right now. He wiggles like he has to save his life and in the process wiggles out quite a bit of drool and other cottage cheese like substances. My lap is wearing out quickly. Both kids want to sit on it ALL the time and sometimes the only way to maintain peace in the house is to have them both on there at once. They also must be played with at the same time too. The bonus to all this activity is that I haven't been this thin since before I got married. I've been contemplating getting out some of my high school pants but I'm a little nervous to see if they will fit. Yes, it's crazy I still have my high school pants, but when they looked that good I couldn't just give them up. :)

Well, the kids are running amok and the house is in dire straights (we have been partying with friends and neighbors for 2 days) so I better tackle the stack of dishes in the kitchen. Wish me luck!

Speaking of spitting up, Loyd nailed me good three times during sacrament at church today. My pants are probably more baby spit up then fabric at this point.
If the Larsons read this, know that I am eternally grateful for the washable dress pants Chris gave me while we served together in Argentina. (Yes, I still have them. I wear them almost every week, and they are still in great condition despite the spit up.)

Dustin - so glad Chris could help out. He only wishes he had some of those pants now that we have a volcanic boy on our hands as well. Burp cloths are really more or less useless since the spit/throw up usually completely misses it - we just all need to wear waterproof smocks or something. We feel your pain, because Charlie is extremely spitty, too.

We're so excited about Chris's interview next week. Audrey, I found that job that one day we were exchanging emails and I was online looking for jobs for Chris. Funny, huh? I don't know WHY we didn't think of the Boy Scouts sooner - I really think it would be a good fit for Chris. Cross your fingers that it all goes well, because if it does, you might have some new neighbors in a couple of months! Could you imagine if we moved there?! Loyd and Charlie could be buddies. And we could be friends too, of course!

It would be awesome if you moved down here! We miss our Larson buddies and I know Charlie and Loyd could think of all sorts of trouble to get into together. With his Larson brains and Loyd's penchant for mischief we will have all sorts of ensuing hilarity. :) We are crossing our finger and toes for Chris and we are excited to see him when he comes on down next week. Let us know if we can help with ANYTHING!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
