Tonight at dinner Rowan was being a little rude, so we excused him to his room with an open invitation to come back with manners :) Well, the second time he went......(stomping the whole way) he stopped at his door before going in and said "YOUR BEING VERY, VERY mean to me".....and then closed the door! He's not even a teenager yet, he's so funny!

Ella's 6th Birthday pictures, and Ivy's 5th.

Ivy's 2 front teeth

Ivy's other tooth finally fell out. It was moving around while she ate this week and really made me want it out :) We thought she swallowed it, but it was in the car seat!

Making cookies again. Lemon Crinkle Cookies.

They taste so much better then they look. Soft, gooey, chewy and lemony :)

You would've thought they were chickens pecking for food. They were picking up the crumbs even! After 2 cookies each. Mark's eaten at least 4 in a matter of a few minutes.

After rolling a few of the cookies in the powdered sugar to put on the cookie sheet, Rowan was done helping. He didn't really like all the wet dough on his fingers. He said "I'm done" and went to race his match box cars around the kitchen....smashing them into the walls. Ella said "boys don't like to stay very long do they"? :)

After varoooming around the kitchen for a while I asked Rowan if I could take a picture...and asked him for his race car face. This is what he gave me.

Then the girls were yelling at me to take a picture of them doing their headstands.

The tooth fairy has been very busy at this house lately :)

Mark took the kids across the street after dinner and not even 10 minutes later I heard them coming to the door....all the kids screaming! Mark brings Ivy in all bloody, her mouth was full of blood.....we had to have her keep spitting it out into a bowl. It really scared me at first, I didn't want anything to do with it! That was for a brief second, then I remembered I had to deal with it, I'm her Mamma :) When they were finally able to tell me what happened, I found out that Ivy had walked up the stairs and at the top she fell and knocked her top front tooth out! Ick! Her whole mouth was full of blood. She was crying, crying, crying, and I finally asked her if she was hurt, or just really scared....she said she was really scared. So, that was easier to deal with. Mark went back to the park to get her tooth...for the tooth fairy of course! And there it was at the top of the slide. And then called Grandma to tell her :) We took her suggestion and went to buy some Popsicles :)

Ivy, who loves her picture taken didn't want me to take her picture yet because she was scared to see it.

This is when she was feeling better. At first it looked like she lost two teeth, but just one came out.

Ella and Rowan were really upset at the park, they kept crying "my sister is hurt, take her home, take her home". Mark said Ella was really upset....and when I started to clean her up they hugged each other in the kitchen because they were so happy she was going to be ok! Really, they did that all on their own. They fight, and can be mean to each other like kids can....but we're ok with that if they love like this :)

Rowan loves the floor puzzles

Ella wanted to "read" in the hallway. Notice the snack, there were only 2 Apples left so she was having one for now and after lunch.


Wait Momma, take a picture of me pointing like this :)

SO, Mommy caught a tortilla on fire in the toaster over at lunch! The house was filled with smoke so I had to open everything up. This is where I found the kids.

I thought it would be a cute picture.

"Momma take a picture of me holding my sisters".

"Momma take a picture of us out her like this"...... (I think I've taken too many pictures of them.)

I saw a picture of Snickerdoodles on Pinterest last night and so we decided to make cookies after the park today....oh it was so hard to talk them into making cookies! I divided the recipe into 3rd's and printed it out with each child's name on it. They each measured out and added their own ingredients on the list. Ella actually read part of her's! So we're able to learn how to read, spell and learn about measurements and have fun at the same time!

Oh fresh warm cookies smell so yummy!

THAT'S MINE!

We got a little package from Aunt Lisa today. It included two dresses WITHOUT ARMS and one pair of pj bottoms. The girls were so excited to have a dress withOUT arms that they decided to dance............for real! This is how excited they were :)
