Family night

Maddy wanted to start having Family night once a week, and this week we got out the puzzle she received for Christmas. The puzzle has 550 small pieces, it's gonna take awhile! Morgan had to sit in the living room and play, which she loves to sit and play by herself.

Micah was not happy, because we weren't letting him help, after standing up on the table and hitting his head on the light, which broke the light bulb, he ended up going to bed, so much for family night!

The start of the puzzle- I will post a picture of the final product- whenever that maybe.

Monkeying around

We have been going to the park alot lately, the girls have been working on the monkey bars, and after alot of tears ( they are very competitive), and some blisters, they have finally accomplished the bars.

Morgan Faith at 7 months

Can you believe she is 7 months old~ she loves to sit and play, especially with anyone willing to sit and share with her. Mackenzie always wants in on the picture taking.

If you look real close you can see she is getting 2 bottom teeth!

A very long week

Micah decided to learn how to jump out of his crib, and so I decided it was time for a real big boy bed. It only took him an hour of getting up and down before he fell asleep on his floor. All the kids have been sick the last week and I have spent more money on medicine than I ever want to spend again.

The princess will stay awake all day and as soon as daddy gets home and holds her she falls fast asleep.

morgan

At her 6 month check up she weighed 20 .4 pounds and is 27 inches tall. She is in the 95% for her weight and the 90% for her height. She is starting to try to crawl going backward and loves to say Dada- especially at 6 a.m.

Out of the mouths of Babes...

My husband said to me the other night in front of the kids~" Wow, you look hot!" to which Maddy said no she doesn't daddy, and he said yeah your mom's hot! Maddy said no she isn't -she's not sweaty!

Morgan 6 months

Morgan is already six months old. Time sure has flown. She is a sweet heart, very smiley and laid back. She started saying Dada this week and is rolling around everywhere. She is officially in a big carseat, the infant carrier was starting to buckle under all her weight. She goes Monday to the Dr. so I will post her weight etc, then. I know she tops the charts there. She loves her new high chair, and loves her brother and sisters. I bought her a bumbo chair but she got stuck in it ( she's got some lovely thighs) so to ebay that will go. A great spot to watch Monsters Inc.




Yummy keys~

Morgan Faith at 17 weeks

Morgan is a very content girl, who so far is quiet, and just watches all the commotion around her. Trying cereal~ she didn't care for it

Homeschooling 101

Many people have asked how school was going for us so I thought I would share what our days consist of. We start school at 9:00~ we are using Abeka DVD's and each of the girls has a desk and DVD player in their rooms. Morgan hangs out in her bouncy seat until we get things going, I pretty much bring her room to room with me ( I don't know what we will do when she gets mobile.) Micah loves Peter pan so he will sit and watch it until Mackenzie is through with school. Mackenzie is usually done in 2 hours so then the two of them go play together, and yes he watches Peter Pan everyday~ he loves it that much! Maddy takes a lot longer to do school, so we usually have lunch at noon and then she gets to play until Micah goes down for his nap at 1:30 and then she finishes school. Nap time is my favorite time of day, because sadly this is when I get my shower. The girls pretty much want me watching there every move so school is my life until the afternoon. I took a few pictures of the kids during a normal school day and you will be able to see why I have to be right there with them, one kid just can't be still. I love Peter Pan!
This is how I found Mackenzie doing school~ she is a clown and can't sit still!
