Call me crazy

No.  Let's say super blessed. 

The Biggs were actually very good helpers on this shopping experience. And hallelujah AZ took a nice nap. He may have slept longer if the elderly lady with a 50 pound bag of kitty litter hadn't  peaked at him when we were on the baby food (Island- that's what the tots call it) aisle. 

I was very impressed at how much stuff I could actually squeeze into the smaller basket.

Come on over. 7/27/15

Started the day with one more fix from out beloved venables.  

Lucky charms for the win..

Erin called to ask what size shoe and always wears. I decided to compare her feet to Gabriels.

 Turns out they all have about the same size feet. LP was so cute taking pictures and videos of everything with her new camera. 

Wish we could have 25 more mornings like this. 

Oh how I miss them all! 

And later in the afternoon...

Jubi was so happy to have someone put together her new favorite puzzle. 

Not that she can't handle all 100 pieces by herself.  The little puzzle prodigy is quite capable of putting it together herself. She managed to complete the task 4 times, solo, yesterday. 

Lachlans first time playing checkers.  They managed a civil game.  For the most part. At least what I witnessed..

Gabriel was his advisor. 

And this happened... That third child though..😜😂

Her bath time creation. 

Chords

Jubilee  loves to play her tunes for us after I'm done nursing. And sometimes during.

Step 1

Whistle britches got stuck and  skeered on the first step.  

The boys went to play 🏀 with Balch boys  and Elijah.. Them George's.  Then putt putt. 

Jubi helped me feed AZ.  She even gave him his bottle for about 7 seconds.  

Then she pretended be injured like auntie Em. "Mom, I'm gonna do some cwunches. " (I'm picturing crunches.)

She pulled out the light saber noodles and used them for  crutches. Then I asked her what happened... "The same as auntie Em!" 

"What's that?"

"I fell out of my bump. " ☺️

Ended the day with a partial checkers game. 

Summertime

Headed off to the park... On foot. And bike.  G was so nervous.  J was too. A little. 

On their way back...g checking both ways 5xs. 

Sick snuggles are extra sweet

What a day.  Poor AZ had 104 fever this AM.  He took a 3+ hour nap while his daddy and I made the house look {and smell} ridiculously good. Haha.  

My sweetheart picked some flowers and herbs from the front beds and made some cute little arrangements.  

So I woke up AZ from his nap, changed that squirmy boy's poop diaper, discovered the 104, nursed him for about 7 minutes.. On one side only – since whoever is reading this really wanted to know that, and hustled out the door for a massage. Got my muscles worked over on that table & then hustled back home to shower off quickly and get the heck out of the house for our showing.  

Here we are "spying" on the house. 

We drove around while the younger two slept.. Roy and G released the water beetle and scooped some more by MCC.   Then we ran back home to let the lady see our attic.  Then over to HEB--- and then this sweet boy woke up... Which brings me to my point. 

Sick snuggles are the best.  It's not a hard and fast rule... But #justsayin

Tried to snap a pic of ms. Karla's shirt. 

One more stop on the way home. Roy somehow managed to steer clear of the zipper ripper. And just got a Reese's pieces and cowboy cookie. 

Whistle britches looks like Cindy Lou Who's cousin here. 

He was snoozing... When I snapped the pic he awoke. 

Special puzzle.  They're laughing at our eyeballs and such. 

Listening to daddy read The Penderwicks.  

Never pictured this moment. Wow. Two bigs playing checkers.  Bittersweet. But really. It's 97%sweet. 

35 minutes later....

MOR CHIKIN 7/14/15

Yes.  We did it.  Shamelessly. {except for Gabriel- goodness he didn't want to dress up}.  You can't see Roy and AZ's spots very good here. 

Thank yo CFA! That was about a $30 meal.  We went about 8:00pm wo there wasn't even a crowd.
