It is finally getting warm

Spring seems to have not gotten the message this year. It has been an interesting one for weather. One day we have snow and the next it is almost 60 degrees. Regardless it is finally warming up and we are getting a lot of rain which is very normal for a Michigan spring. 

Last week the kids were still very sick. They ended up with a trip to urgent care. Anthony was home from work due to the rain so his job getting canceled. God seems to work in such situations because I don't know how I would have been able to handle the lack of sleep on my own. 

The had such a hard time sleeping at night due to coughing that during the day they made up for it. Ari slept in his car seat because it was the only way I could get him to sleep.

Sister still has those cheeks...........

 

Lilliana has begun to really enjoy her dolls. I find her playing more by herself with dolls instead of with the boys. It is sweet. I love that she is playing with the same dolls I did as a little girl. This baby was given to me by my Grandma Gloria. 

 

 It also has been nice so we have made a couple trips to the park. Eli walks and the other two ride in the stroller. They all love going. The swings have been the favorite this week. 

 

Eli has even been a wonderful big brother and pushed Ari. He loves to do it. 

 

 

Poor Lilliana was trying to get Ari and he knocked her over. 

 

On the way home Lilliana wanted out to walk with Eli. Their conversation was just what children do. It melted my heart as I remember saying the same things as a kid. They were trying not to walk on the cracks and jumping over them. There were also a lot of dried worms on the sidewalk and they were examining them. 

 

Then we had the night of Eli crafting. This kid is beyond belief. He is so responsible and such a good boy 95% of the time. He helps with chores, his brother and his sister, and basically with whatever I ask.

Well I woke up to him saying he needed a baindaid. He had got into my craft cupboard and cut up fabric, newborn props, his pajamas and his hair. He also had gotten the step stool and gotten into the freezer to eat ice cream and cookies. I was up at 2:30 and he was asleep. I came down to the mess at 3:10. So he was fast. He also got out my sewing machine. I can only guess I had been crafting that day and he had watched and helped. I had been cutting up old clothes and making new things with them. Needless to say his head is now shaved and we got an alert for his door. If he leaves it will go off. He loves scissors and always wants to cut things. At school he asks to do cutting projects all the time and loves to make different shapes. I really don't know how to stop this but this is what happens. I laugh now because truly he looks ridiculous but it is not that funny. He also is mad I shaved his head. He liked his hair this way and wanted to keep it. Regardless I do feel like an awful mom but what is done is done and I know many of kids who have cut their hair and each others. Hopefully he grows out of this phase soon. 

 

Oh life is interesting with children. That much is for sure. We are off to the zoo today. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
