Little Things

Sarah loooooooooves cursive. She also loves labeling things.

The marriage of Sarah's two great loves.

 We've been doing a whole lotta art up in the PI (Pernot Institute). Nonna swooped in and helped a mother out with some supplies for these pajama+antibiotic days.

"This is my new friend. He is so cute. He likes me."

Busy little fingers.

I hesitate to put this picture on the blog for two reasons.
1. I never want to remember the house being so filthy as it is.
2. I realllllly don't want to remember the botch haircut I administered to Thomas.
(Matt held him down last night so I could fix it. Tommy looks like a Dandy now.)

Ok. This face is so smooshy. I know I have posted about 400 pictures of Koala looking like this but, C'MON! It doesn't get any chubbier than that!
 Also, every time I get my camera out he says, "Take my picto! I smile good!

Finished products.
Nathan is giving his bird a kiss.
Thomas is trying to hold his paper puppet up higher than Joseph's puppet.
Joseph is trying to hide his face so he doesn't close his eyes when the flash goes off.

"Yeah, but Joseph, if you hide your face then it doesn't matter if you close you eyes for the picture because I can't see you anyway."

"Ok, Mom. I will show one eye."
 

Sarah and Rambo.
I love headbands.

I make Esther wear this snowsuit and I am thoroughly grieving that she is outgrowing it.
The people at church audibly chuckle when we walk in with our little reindeer. And while I don't make her don this suit for pure comic effect, it does lighten the mood after having to stuff the children in the car and hurryhurryHURRY into Mass.
 

Boo and his "balogie" (balogna,bagel,balogna)
Ewwwww gross.

Helping Mom with the mountain of laundry.

Tom, always the Dandy.



Ok, maybe not always.

I love this.

Sarah has been allowing me to brush her hair and try new things. It has been my dream to have this time with her. We both love playing beauty parlor.



Eyes open.
Smiling.
Want to remember.

Funny kids.

 

Look who's sitting up!
