The other day the kids watched The Little Mermaid for the first time (and now they are really excited about the live action version coming out in May). They loved it, though the shark attack was a little bit frightening. Mayci pretty much dove into Zeke’s arms. Big brothers will always keep you safe.
Anthony spent the night at his big sisters’ apartment Sunday night so he helped pack his own lunch and snack for Monday while he was there.
Anthony bought his lunch in the cafeteria on Thursday (he loves their pizza) so no lunch from home needed for him that day.
Zeke bought his lunch in the cafeteria on Friday (he picked chicken tenders). Mayci and Nicky so far have declined the offer of buying lunch once a week. They like their lunches from home better than cafeteria food.
The kids have really gotten into playing with the Perfect Blocks again. These blocks are all the same size and shape. The only difference is their colors.
What can be built with them is only limited by the imagination. They play with them now pretty much every day. Definitely the favorite communal toy right now.
Two days this week the little ones had early out so snacks were only needed those days for Fritz, Adrian, and Noah (since he gets two snack times a day).
The other day we discovered the twins can climb over our old fence gate. Luckily that one is going to be removed once the new fence is completed, but for now if they climb over they can escape from the yard completely. It’s actually quite impressive watching them climb over. Noah’s shorts got caught on the top of the gate and he was just so happy hanging up there until we got him down. Needless to say those two are being watched very closely when they are in the backyard now.
The other day as we left SamsClub an older woman looked at my overflowing cart and said I must work for a daycare. I told her no, I just have a lot of kids. She seemed very confused by what I was saying and walked away mumbling about how I was wrong, it must be for a daycare. Wonder what she would’ve thought if it was a monthly shopping trip with three carts and six kids with us!
