Phone Photo Dump 3

 Some of the latest from-my-phone pics (in no particular order!)...

 Caleb made all of these by himself (the little kids helped me mix the batter, but Caleb poured & flipped & plated)...

 Pretty sure that "Big Panda" (who is being lugged to preschool on Friday for show-and-tell for the letter "P") is the most-used gift anyone in our house has ever received.  He's pretty much one of the family you know.

 

 Norah loves to sit on the couch like a big girl...

 Meredith got a haircut and requested "bangs like Zoe's" (her BFF).  She loves her new hairstyle, and is very concerned that it will "go away".  She was hesitant to go swimming this weekend and doesn't ever want me to wash/comb it because she fears that such things will ruin her haircut.  We explained to her how hair grows, and how we can cut it if it gets too long.  Then she told me she wants hair like Rapunzel.  Hmmm....

She wanted more marshmallows.

 She loves to stack.  Poor daughter-of-mine gets angry when the stack falls, and she has been known to throw the blocks in frustration.  The apple doesn't fall far...

 

All the kiddos love to make their own food (oh how I hope this doesn't change!)...Shane tries so hard to spread his Pb&J...

 Yeah, yeah...so we have a rule that you can't climb along the banister like this.  Shane was just so proud I had to snap a picture despite the fact that he was breaking the rules...

 Caleb got a snap circuit set for Christmas.  It's pretty cool, and he loves it.  While there are dozens of sample circuits in his book, with instructions about how to make them, he has taken to creating his own.  Pretty sure his brain works better than mine.

More messy self-feeding...

 She hated this Christmas present then, but loves it now!

 Putting together Valentines...

 One afternoon I was gone, and Dad was in charge.  I came home to this....Caleb had "splash painted" several masterpieces, and consequently the wall, floor, table, chairs...and himself.

She loves her baby.

 Norah was terrified when I sat her on the step.  She obviously didn't realize she was just centimeters from the floor.  Not sure what M is doing here.

 Baby Girl is fiiiinnnnaaaalllllly learning to drink from a sippy.  But that doesn't stop me from giving in to her pleas for a bottle.  With milk.  That I warm for her.  She's the baby, what do you expect?!  Seriously, don't judge me if she still drinks from a bottle next month.  Or next year.

 After bath snuggliness.
