Evelyn is into trouble again! She bit her soother through this week. This time she did not get a replacement, and is doing pretty good at getting to sleep without it. But every now and then, and especially before nap or bedtime she'll say "bwo! doodur!" (broke soother) She even put in the garbage last night, but repented and tried get it right out again!
It's not often the kids have Lego upstairs (it's an awful mess when all 6 of 'em get into it!) but they had it out today, so they could copy some domino thing off instructions on the web. We ended up with Lego everywhere!
Jennifer spent some time "drawing", by which she means writing. She carefully fills in the spaces between the lines, sometimes more wiggly to look like letters, sometimes more like straight lines.
Now, if I move the stool to the pantry I can reach the handles and open it up. But how do I open the bottom part at get at the snack shelf?
Melanie made a lovely candle holder for us. Cost her nothing, only a rummage through the recycling, a hunt for hammer and nails (plus a piece of wood to hold the shape of the can while hammering) and a cut in her finger. It's the Christmas tree she wishes she had. ;)
Matthew the artist showing off his drawing of a mug with it's shadow.
Evelyn came crying to me while I was busy with Jennifer in the bathroom, because her siblings weren't being nice. Really, we ought to look this way on account of the number of hours we spend in the washroom in our seemingly futile attempts to get Jennifer ready for underwear.
I must have the world record for slowest potty training children. Sigh. Maybe Evelyn will surprise me. (Fat chance.)
A puzzle finished at last! Matthew wanted his grandparents to see.
Painting around the house. (Thankfully with imaginary paint! They do enough scribbling with pencils on the walls that we don't need paint on the furniture too!) Jennifer had been painting the pictures in the book, but I missed that Kodak moment.
And the grand finale being another astounding Kapla project by my creative children:
It should read "ate" not "eat". Matthew thought it was funny too, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. ;)

I love that puzzle! Jennifer takes after her dad, filling in the lines with squiggles. I wonder if we still have samples ;).
And I love your children's humour!
Looking back at this, I love Melanie's candle holder. She did a great job...it's the type of thing I often thought of doing but just never did. Good work, Melanie!
