Kids are in bed, dinner is cleaned up and taken care of, school work for tomorrow is prepared and I found myself having time to update the blog. Wiiihiii!! Now, when I have selected pictured, uploaded a video and added it all to this post it is past midnight.,, It is simply not my thing to go to bed early..
Anyways, the short update is that we have had a great past week with school starting up, dinners with friends and great weather. We had a few cold days where we got the chance to use some of our warmer clothes :-) but it is back to warm weather again now...
Look, how popular I am!
Last weekend we helped some friends out by watching their kids while they were moving, unfortunately leaving our street to a house in Daytona. Anyways, the kids are 6, 3 and 0 and I must admit that I was a little nervous that the day would be a total chaos but I was surprised. Both Alex and all the kids did great and we had a good day.
Five of the seven kids :-)
Morning gymnastics
Great activities outside in great weather!
Started building on a cool thing Marlee got for Christmas two years ago. It is kind of complicated and they have started it a few times before but this time we did it together. We are not done yet but have done good progress and Marlee and Noah are so excited about it :-)
Illness has strike our house the past few days. I cannot help but enjoying some extra cuddling with the boys when they are not feeling perfect... It has mostly been colds hitting us but Marlee has had fever today so we will see if he can go to coop tomorrow..
Gabriel feeling a little icky
This guy has a cold but that not seem to bother him much
Yes, it has been weeks since I last updated this and I wish it wasn't so... I really enjoy writing this but despite a wonderful Christmas, I did not get any extra arms an no extra hours in the day ;-) so I might just have to accept that updating my blog is not something I have time doing as frequent as I wish I could. Well, enough said about that! I am really excited that people actually read this! :-D
This post will mainly be some random pictures from the last weeks. We drove back to Ormond on morfar's birthday, New Years Eve. Well, back in Ormond we had dinner with some friends before going down to the beach for some fireworks. It was a good day and we spent midnight in front of the TV (kids sleeping) just like any other boring parents with small children ;-) It was honestly SO nice! Lol!
Just like Gabriel, Rafael is very ticklish so when taking off or putting on his onesies he just laughs! I am not trying to tickle him at all.

Gabriel loved this "Snowman ball" that played different songs. However, he only liked Jungle bells and kept turning it on and off until that played!
Ginger bread house #2 from Aunt Peggy. We have not eaten all of it yet but almost...
Farmor took all the older boys to Fairchild garden where there is a butter fly "tent". They really liked it!!

Rafael has really enjoyed his bouncy chair lately!

Turning from belly to back and back to belly now!!
Noah finally got to paint his monster truck that he build a few months ago. I will add a picture later to show the result.
