So here is Simeon. It's actually secondsies for him. He ate about a half hour before this, but he wanted to eat with Bekah when she got her cereal this morning. He gets to eat the Lucky Charms now when we give them to the other kids. Can you tell he really likes them? He will pick out all the marshmallows and then eat the rest. If you look close you can see that all the food in his mouth is the marshmallows! Love it! Thankfully we eat cereal twice a week and not every day for breakfast or he would be going around on a sugar high all morning.
This is something I find baffling, hilarious, and irritating all at the same time. I see this sight twenty times a day. Why can my children not take a normal amount of paper off the roll and leave the rest. No, they have to unravel a good 6+ feet of it and then take the little bit they need. Since Elizabeth and Joseph are currently in their water obsession the paper usually gets soaked and nasty several times a day. This is the sanitary version. I would have taken a picture of it yesterday, but it was just to gross for anyone but Gary! (just kidding!) I walked in to find my friends 3 year old daughter totally distraught that she didn't get her pants off in time. She's still in the stage of needing to be completely naked to go to the bathroom, so she still had a shoe and one pant leg to go when she ran out of time. Between Elizabeth's water mess that I had forgotten about, the excessive amounts of toilet paper that someone had ripped into little pieces and left everywhere , and the really, really bad poo accident everywhere, it was bad. Really really bad. For once I found the humor in the situation. Probably because it wasn't my kid that missed the toilet and tracked it all the way out the bathroom, down the hall and through the kitchen.
Joseph in the bath this morning. He is always so happy to play in the tub. Love that smile!
Rebekah loves to play with Simi, and he loves to play copycat.
These girls are so silly. Sariah loves to "make things." It's always fun to see just how much fun a few chairs and blankets can provide. Now they have all the dining room chairs and all their quilts out making a tent. If I hurry I can probably get the kitchen cleaning and mopping done before the fun runs out with this one. Even Simeon has fun with it.

oh, we've been going through the wet toilet paper all over the floor stage too! Vilate's in the poo poo in the pants stage too! My kids absolute favorite thing to do is to make "forts" with blankets and chairs (their least favorite thing is to put it away when they are done. We are living parallell lives on the opposite sides of the country!
Tiff, I love your story about the distraught neighbor child who still has to take off all her clothes to go potty! I keep laughing about the wording of it. She still had a shoe & one pant leg to go! Kids are so hilarious!
Mary - Yea for parallel lives! (Do you think it's because we have so many kids that are the same ages?) Still fun that they are all doing the same stuff.
Nettie - That little girl is the one that reminds me so much of your mom's stories of you. She LOVES to strip naked outside and run around, and she runs off all the time. Yesterday her mom was telling me that they all went as a family to the commissary and PX (think grocery store and walmart). Her dad took her and the oldest daughter (emma!)to the PX and the mom when to the commissary with the other two kids. While she was checking out Daeli comes skipping in the exit and climbs up in the shopping cart. "hi mom!" Brad, the dad, comes running in a minute later panting, "Christie, Daeli is in the commissary somewhere." Haha...that is the story of that little girls life right now! Independent, everyone is her friend, and doing it all naked is way more fun!
