it's all fun and games: this week. minus potty training!

in between potty training, i tried to live a normal life...nate played games with his sisters
could i GET a better, big brother?
no. i think NOT
-ellie funny. as i tucked her into one night this week, i told her that she would be getting a new room with joey soon...she cried "NO! i have to have a room with my big brother nathaniel!"

2- pasta that "papa made, just with tomato and mushroom" the kids ate ALL of it
and as nate said "for someone who hates to cook, you are REALLY good at it"
and i WAS!

thurs afternoon was filled with in house play...aka potty training 101...lol
the girls kept busy in the front room playing " doctor puppy nurse"
see MY yellow cart? it was filled with their "supplies" that they would use to "feed" the sick...this time it was joey's turn with me yelling in the back ground "DON'T YOU DARE PEE ON MY COUCH"

then we went back to MORE crafts
ellie had me write all the names that came to her, they were....jesus, ellie, papa, nana, nate, mom, dad, shawn, joey, nate etc.....but when the girls randomly put them on the door. jesus some how ended up in the center.

this week during our "pioneer" study. which i admit. i LOVE, i really enjoy this time period and i want to get nate a board the 1850-1920's time period. ha....we did a mini project on what the "tinker" did. while i was bathing the girls, nate got busy making an art project. on his own. i was so very pleased. nate did a GREAT job!
