Week in Review: Sept 5 – 11

Let’s see… what when on last week? A bit of this and that.

Hannah started braiding bracelets for everyone.  She made some boy colors for Abe and Max.

I finished my half-silly project of making a carseat canopy to protect sweet Eliza from germs, sun, and strangers hands.  The reason it was silly is because I started it the week before Eliza was due, when I was supposed to be resting.  I was plumb tired of resting and needed a creative outlet.  The fabric flowers and large rick-rack are my favorite parts.

Looks like Eliza got lots of lovin’ from the kids.  They do adore her.  Truman is still obsessed with her.  We keep hoping he’ll tone down his love for her (meaning – give that baby some space!!).

Abe enjoyed the stick the kids found at the park when Grandma Smith was here.  He was a ninja.

Abe spotted a fabulous cloud that turned into a volcano. The kids had a blast pretending about orange lava all under the swingset.

Little Eliza wore her first dress to church. So darling. I made the little flower and headband for her. Mostly I loved the little tights that looked like ballet slippers. It is so hard to get a good picture of little babies. She looks so different to me in photos. She’s a cute little person though.

Isn’t that a nice big smile from Max!

Finally got the new chore charts done for the new school year. We’re still trying to teach these kids how to work, work, work! Hope it pays off someday!

Things are getting a bit back to normal. I’m doing more cooking and a few more chores. We will probably be eternally behind on dishes, cleaning, and laundry, but such is life. We’ll keep a goin’!
