Peanut Butter Ramen

So today was supposed to be Emmie’s dentist appointment, after last week’s hoopla… But CVS never actually filled the prescription we needed, so we still didn’t get to go again today, which we didn’t even realize until first thing this morning. So Emmie was sad for a bit, but I reassured her again that we’d reschedule, and I promised her she’d get to go to the dentist soon. What a mess… But she perked up when I let her pick out her own outfit for school, including the Halloween pants and Halloween Paw Patrol shirt

Fend For Yourself Night

After a fun 3-day weekend of camping, we were back to school and work today. When we drove past our local high school and Emmie realized there was no traffic, and I told her the big kids weren’t at school this week, she was not thrilled that she had to go, but we still had a nice easy drop-off. And look at this crazy yellow coloring and sky and clouds and everything!

Camping Under The Full Moon

We are back in town now after such a great camping weekend. In all of our years of camping, this weekend had the most perfect, beautiful weather, and we had great campsite, and we had the best time with our biggest girl! (This photo was this morning, Sunday, but I wanted it to show up first… but let’s jump back to Friday…)

Three Pork Dumplings

Little cutie pies this morning before school! Today was “purple for preemies” day, and although neither of my girls were preemies, our sweet triplets were (here’s the blog post from when I first held them!), and we wanted to support them. (Even though their mommy forgot to send them in purple today ) And uh, Emmie picked out her shoes today, and even though I think they’re supposed to be water shoes for summer time, it wasn’t worth the fight…

Sobbing About the Dentist

So this morning we were supposed to take Emmie to the dentist. But long story short, everyone forgot that she was supposed to take one dose of antibiotics 30 minutes prior to the appointment, because of her heart surgery, so at 7:45ish we had to pivot. We had planned to leave home at 7:45, but my girl was sobbing because she was upset that was was not going to the dentist today. So I offered to get her a donut on the way to school as a special treat, but she just wanted Mommy to make her an egg sandwich at home! What kind of kid do I have on my hands here?! One who cries over not going to the dentist, and is obsessed with boiled eggs, egg salad and devilled eggs… What a silly pants girl!!

Church-Wide Lunch & Hosting Family Dinner

I started my Sunday, taking my turn to teach these five sweet girls a Bible story about the Ark of the Covenant, and praying together, and playing instruments marching around, and learning the verse of the day. It was super sweet and precious.
