First- I can't believe this was taken a year ago today... I absolutely remember this smiling for this picture.
And second- yesterday, at Liam's ECI celebration, he spent the whole play time outside at this water table they had... I've been wanting to get the kids a water table for a while- since Jacksonville, really, but there wasn't really anywhere to put it... until now! Malia had a blast... Liam totally ignored it.
I don't know what was going on here but Liam does not look pleased and Malia looks like she's in her own world:
Liam's ECI class had an end of year celebration today- last night we were informed siblings couldn't attend (even though three did today) so I went and Zachary and Malia went to the gym. They sang some songs and then played outside- it was pretty uneventful but it was so fun seeing Liam get so excited to see me when I walked into his classroom unexpectedly!
I'm not going to lie- I have no idea what happened today- if Liam was at school, or in a bad mood or what- I don't know why he's not in any pictures because these were taken over a month ago... so here goes lots of posts with mainly pictures and my best guess at what was going on surrounding them.
I do remember Rosie dragging toilet paper all the way from the bathroom to the gate... silly puppy!
Today my family went to Matthew's first graduation ceremony- they had one for his minor- Non-Profit. They provided a delicious lunch (with sweet tea) and had an awesome speaker. Here's what my kids were up to while not being at a ceremony they would have added a lot of noise to...
And here's pictures from the ceremony:
And more of what my children were up to... including my furry child:
Also, I saw this on facebook and sent it to Zachary for encouragement ;)
Before we left for NC, I grabbed a picture of Miss Rosie dragging the kitchen mat into the dining room... she's a busy girl.
And now for pictures on the road... Rosie definitely had the most space of any of us...
Malia can sleep anywhere...
As can Rosie.
Liam had taken the iPad away from Malia... she's giving him a death stare.
This picture is Zachary's dream come true:
We went to the Hollidays and my parents picked me up from there so I could go to Matthew's graduation festivities sans children. Here's Mimi meeting Rosie:
I'm way behind again so these next several posts are going to be mainly pictures with a few words... Rosie will sleep anywhere...
I got an early Mother's Day gift today from Mr. Liam:
So these children have started making a huge mess in their room during
nap time so I decided today to have them "nap" where I could see them. Liam didn't go to sleep but Rosie did...
This morning I was woken up to Liam yelling "Come here daddy, come here daddy," over and over again. I opened his door and he said "I got dressed!" He had taken his pajamas off and gotten a pair of pants and a tshirt out of his dresser and put it on. I was so proud!
Zachary had taken Rosie to work this morning because she was a ball of energy and he wanted me to be able to get some more sleep... I think being at work wore her out.
I got Rosie back after taking Liam to school so Rosie, Malia and I got to spend some quality time together- just us girls :)
Later, we went to the playground. I will drive the short distance next time because getting the three of these crazy kids to the playground is quite a task.
I shot a short video at the playground... these kids crack me up.
I forgot to look at an update on the baby on Sunday so I took a screen shot of The Bump app today instead... we're getting there!
Later, we grilled some chicken outside. One of our neighbors was leaving and on her way out said- "Wow, you all really are from North Carolina, you grill out every night!" Truth. Rosie liked being outside and while she doesn't typically tolerate blankets on her, it was a bit chilly so she did this time.
Also, I've mentioned my baby blanket on the blog a few times and I have a feeling Gigi may turn out to be his version of my baby blanket... looks like there's nothing to worry about!
