of a Thursday

By Moriah on January 13th, 2012

The other day the kids were all showing me how “good” they could hold Ethan. It was hilarious, them talking about how they can hold the baby for sooo long.

*No babies were harmed in the making of this post.

My bookend boys. Love.

I think I’m going to like our new Thursday routine, which, incidentally I made up just today. I used to have it MADE with the carpool situation. Nicky pulled James out of school this semester and so now we have to drive more. Anyway, there’s a perfect amount of time between when I drop off the carpool kids and when I pick up Adelaide from preschool to do a grocery run and bonus! only four kids in tow.

I let them pick out their lunch. (A lunchable once a week won’t kill them, right?) I also brought the leappads in the car and there was not ONE backseat fight the entire length of carpool. It was awesome. Score one for mom.

And then also today we made blueberry muffins for a close family with a newly-birthed baby,

snuck candy,

ate potato soup a la Gretchen (turkey bacon! not bad!),

with salad,

and apparently placed Arianna a little too close to the butter.

Share and Enjoy:

Not only did you have a good day, but you had your camera and documented! Impressive.

sweet pics! Where did you get that footie outfit that Ethan is wearing? I LOVE it! And it’s a nice change up from boy clothes always being blue!

ha! his jammies are Carter’s and my friend Liz gave it to me, pretty sure she got it at Costco.

Yup, Costco, cause we have the exact same ones. :-)

Your kids are precious. That soup looks so good! Can you give the recipe for that? I would love to try it.
