A lazy day

We had plans this Saturday and then they were all cancelled and or re-scheduled.  It was nice to have a day of nothing.  Since our plans were scattered, I didn't have a dinner plan and I was tired.  

I made a decision to let everyone make whatever they wanted for themselves.  It was quite interesting to see them in action.  

J decided he wanted Bagel Bites (mini pizzas on bagels) with sausage, as in a breakfast sausage patty.  

W decided on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with sausage.

S had chicken nuggets with sausage.  

I see a theme developing here.  I had no idea they liked sausage so much.  I did make them eat some apples and carrots with the sausage.  

We followed the smorgasbord dinner with our first family game of Monopoly.  We have had the game for awhile but had not played with the kids. 


The boys caught on pretty fast and really enjoyed themselves.  They are getting this whole capitalism concept quite nicely.  They gloated every time they were able to collect some rent.


After an hour, it was bed time.  Husband determined that S won, because he had the most houses.  He was thrilled.  He loves being the winner.  Of course, J was ticked that we couldn't finish the game.  I am not sure you are ever finished with Monopoly.  


I see more monopoly matches in our future.

We're crawling!

We officially have a baby that is crawling.  She started over the weekend.  She is still pretty slow and can't crawl on the tile (too slick), but she gets around on the carpet very well.


She moves really well if there's something she wants to get or she wants someone to pick her up.


She loves for us to build towers so she can knock them over.  That is hours of entertainment for her.


She is trying to pull up, but can't quite do it yet.  If you stand her up, she will stay there for quite awhile.  This is the chair where I sit during school time.  She stays right with me at my chair playing with age appropriate toys such as protractors and markers.  She is bound to be a genius with all the "school" she listens to everyday.


I found these pictures on the camera.  I LOVE this one of baby girl and daddy.  She has such a sweet face.  She totally has him wrapped around her finger.  She loves to make coffee with daddy in the morning.  I think she prefers for him to feed her breakfast.  She loves her daddy!
