Wednesday!

I pulled a muscle in my neck- I was in visible pain... My girls are so sensitive they picked up on it immediately. Then it became part of their play.


Ira and liv were playing with Madeline... Ira said "look! She is hurt because a lobster pinched her!!!! She's screaming!"





Liv said "oh no! We have to make her feel better!" she was so upset!











Ira said, "I don't want to see this!" and shoved it away.





Then we played catch....





Liv pulled out some dr seuss books...

I read cat and the hat...





When we got to this part where they are upset with the cat in the hat, liv said, "he didn't mean to mama. He didn't mean to fall"





When he left after cleaning up, liv said "look he is so happy now! He's happy mama"






Liv is always like this with books, statues, paintings, etc.

Her first question is "is he/she happy mama?"

Sweet girl.

Strong man...






I read the girls the apple story





Then we peeled and sliced apples...





Revealed the star within...





Made applesauce...





Blackberry applesauce...





Daddy rescued me shortly after...
Making rings out of dollar bills...











And bringing me fresh produce....don't know what's weirder- that jared said "I got you a present to cheer you up!!!" and present me with this-





Or the fact that it worked!

Storytime- it was a seasons/autumn/apple/fall/tree themed night...except for wallE... That just got tossed in.

Sick day

We are sick... So we are resting....
I snapped this pic to remind myself to post liv's cuteness.







While watching dinosaur train paleontologist Steve or Rick or whatever said "do YOU know where eyes come from?" and liv said "yes! My kitchen!"

Which is funny to me because she knows that our eggs come from chickens. In fact, when I roasted our chicken last week I put lemons inside, she grabbed the eggs from the fridge and said,"put the eggs in too?"
She is just full of funny.

I had preordered the new tinkerbell movie and had it delivered today! On it's release day! I've never done that before, but it's convenient AND even with shipping- cheaper than at target.






It was a GREAT movie. Better than the first two even.

Keiras new car seat came too!

The kids are having a blast playing with it and the new box...






We took the kids through their first drive thru car wash... They. Had. A. Blast.

Sunday

Yesterday at the festival, we were unable to eat any of the moon cakes... They were everywhere and looked delicious.

I promise everyone I would make something cake like for breakfast.

Well I found a box o pancake mix at whole foods that looked pretty good and decided to treat myself to something easy to prepare.





The most hilarious part was when Ira said "your making pancakes!? I love making pancakes. She came running in to help- grabbed the measuring cups.

When I opened the bag an dumped it in she said "what about the baking soda? The vanilla? The salt?! The egg?"

She gave it a weird look and said "will it even TASTE like pancakes"

I had to reassure her it was all there.





They were good... But not as good as scratch. I think i should have added an egg.

We went for a walk to pick up dry cleaning...





Found some toadstools...





I then took liv on a walk just the two of us... She wants to stop and examine everything...











And she could build sandcastles for hours...





Ira made banjos for the family band...
