I don't know if you've heard Avilene use this phrase at home; "To Last." She has used it for three days in a row this week. She's using it to talk about "living." For example and these are her words; "a fish needs water to last." So it needs water to live. She said that while we were watching the salmon run on a river in Alaska. Yesterday she asked me if "someone could last 35 years." :) So I gave her examples of people who "lasted" many years beyond that.
We were looking at pictures of a dog with it's "tongue hanging out like a rope." Haha. Again, those are her words.
So things were extra hectic around here for about 20 - 30 minutes this morning!! There was poop from the window to the mattress. (Cal was leaving tracks from the poop on the bottom of his feet! Haha.) I was helping the other kids finish up breakfast and thank goodness Atley alerted me to the situation! THANK YOU Atley!! I ended up having Cal sit in some warm water in the sink in the entrance room so I could clean him up. Svea and Nora stayed at the breakfast table and watched the show from there. They were all very cooperative!! Good job everyone!! (Well, except for Cal! Haha.) Miles was super cooperative because he was napping. :)
These first two pictures are left over from yesterday afternoon and these 4 kids were all watching a low flying jet heading for the airport. (Cal in the background and Nora in the middle.) They start yelling, "airplane, airplane, airplane" and that gets everyone's attention! Atley is the resident airplane enthusiast! Look at the position of Atley's arms. In the second picture Nora is on the high side and was frequently getting space between her butt and the seat thanks to Atley working hard. And lots of giggling and laughing. Avi was the pilot and was yelling at them for starting to go without her. Ha!!
Next picture: Avi, Atley, and Nora at the Big Doll house. Last picture; Avi making a bridge for Svea and Nora to crawl under.
