the week

 our little jo. sitting and eating her bread. not making a sound
love

 nate and chris worked on the ship building of the cruise ship papa and nana took.  they worked together all week in it, this was on wed. 1/2 way done!

 so, our lovely van, has to go.  we've known for awhile now that we need a newer vehicle.  my zippy car will only fit 2 car seats in the back, and nate is not old enough to sit in the front. the van that we have is 10 yrs old, and we've fix it (we as in chris) numerous times. so when the van craped out on us on the way home, we decided to bite the nail and get something newer that i can drive with the kids....we went to the auto auction, cause that's where we buy all our vehicles for cheap. haha and scored a newer van. sorry no pics, chris is away today! ill take pics tomorrow...anyways

how do you go car shopping with 3 kids on a cold day?

 you leave them in a vehicle while you look around! hahaha

 see jo jo? ha.  i bundled her up, it was nasty cold out

 the other day i could hear nate's leapster but the older 2 kids were gone. i left the stove to find this!

 jo  jo bean!

 she flipped, turned 180, and crawled/pushed/wiggled to get it, then managed to turn it ON! and enjoy it
oh my word. i just love her and her cheeks. thank you jesus for johana banana beany boo!

 last night the ship was complete!  and HUGE!  it's going to chris's office where the littles cant touch it!

 i opened my cupboard yesterday and saw this
thanks ellie joy! hahaha

 and we finished tom sawyer (nate secretly took the book to bed at night and stayed up to finish it!) and started this one.  so fun!  highly recommend it!  its a great convo started on topics that you would never think to talk to your kids about

and that's us

i spent the week catching up on house work, cuddling my kids, planning the future, reading books, teaching a few lessons, helping ellie with her letter pronunciations, cooking many meals that the kids actually enjoyed, wiped many bums, changed a few diapers, cuddled and laughed with my baby and enjoying the place im at in life

how was your week?
