today, I don't want it to end.

Turns out this week is kind of another iPhone dump. It's a sad Sunday when I realize I hardly got the camera out, and pretty much all I have to share are iPhone pics. Maybe someday I will get a new phone with a better quality camera, but until then...

Baby E is nearing three. Her party is in less than a week. How did that happen? The funny, sweet, singing toddler still absolutely loves to be my helper. If it's dishes, laundry, dusting, anything...she's on it. Notice how Hudson just watches. Typical, right?

 

It's clear that when Madden is interested in something, he becomes somewhat obsessed with whatever it is. For a while now, it's been puzzles. He does 100 pieces puzzles no prob.

 

Our family has a new addition. Meet Penelle. This caterpillar was found on Hudson's shirt, and Paisley has been caring for it like it's a freaking newborn baby. It's cute and a little too much all at the same time. Penelle has had bath time, she's read to him, he has different homes, etc. I hope when the little bugger isn't crawling on her anymore that we don't have to have a funeral. I can just picture a homemade headstone in our yard now.

Look closely. He's on her finger.

My mom saved some of her planting for the kids--they were ecstatic. They've been asking me each day, "I wonder how big my peas are getting? I hope Grandma's taking good care of them!"

 

After gardening baths in Grandma's tub.

 

Craig took the kids to the park on one of his days off. Madden and Everleigh weren't ready to go to a different area yet, and Hudson was...bored.

Oscar Miller is happy that it's nice out. He's also happy when he gets a treat.

 

 He's also pathetic.

This week I was able to watch Paisley at Track and Field Day at school. It was so fun to watch her and her girlfriends run around (and in and out of the school). She did very well in her events and even finished the 1/2 mile with no problem.

 

She was very serious about the starting line and looked like this for a good minute before it was her turn. Bahaha. Love her.

 

And...today at the park...

 

I love these kids more than life itself. Some days, I'm not sure I'll make it out alive. Other days, I don't want it to end.

 

 

We have A LOT coming up this week. Like, a lot, a lot. I see a big glass of wine in my future by Sunday night. Meet me there. See you around 9:00 next Sunday. Cheers.
