Jessica does sometimes copy John's boy noises or sword fight with him, but she's pretty much all girl. She loves dress up and is ecstatic that Jesse went grocery shopping and brought her some Doritos!
Bathtime! 2/10
They may be 5 years apart in age...but in size the're not so different. Annie's got the height, but Jessica got thicker thighs and arms. :)
Annie's 7th birthday 2/10
Annie is a PARTY GIRL. Not in a bad way. She just loves any chance to celebrate. We had a "late-over" party. (We don't allow sleepovers, so this was the next best thing). We had them stay late instead. They all wore their jammies. We started out with everyone getting a manicure and pedicure from Alexis.
The birthday girl.
Cash!
I wish this wasn't blurry. She was so excited to get some Littlest Pet Shops!
Pizza and rootbeer for dinner!
A couple of girls showed up in matching jammies.
Jessica likes whatever Annie likes.
She wanted brownies instead of cake.
Yum!
Eating her ice cream on a fork. Funny.
When they watched Barbie and the Diamond Castle they all sang along and got to wear glow-in -the-dark necklaces!
John got a little glow-in-the-dark sword.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE BANANIE!
Our little manchild. 2/10
John fell asleep in his "white ninja" pants and I had to capture the moment. (He is on top of the girls school work.)
With so many girls around he sometimes surprises me with his masculinity.
Cooking Class 2/10
Of course, I'm the teacher. The three older girls are learning to cook, from yours truly. We are treating it as a real class. They get to choose their recipes, and they do everything. I just oversee.
This was the BEST homemade mac & cheese I've ever had!
They wanted to make pizza, the crust was made from scratch.
Alexis does this face when she really likes something. :) This is a cheese omelet she made.
Making the omelet.
Around the house 2/10
Here are some random photos.
We start with John. This is the outfit he would wear, every moment of everyday if he had the choice. Pajama bottoms and a soft robe with no shirt, so he can "feel" the softness. He wears this unless we go out in public, in which case, I make him change only to have him run downstairs as soon as we're home to get back into the robe & pajamas.
Jessica has the most kissable cheeks, and still likes going pantsless.
Into mischief.
Sneaky! She got caught with a marble.
Annie, our little diva.
Watching Barney. Yes, he's still around.
After church on Sunday.
Grandma's Storytime 2/10
One of the things we've enjoyed since moving to Spokane is Grandma's storytime. This is Jesse's Mother, in her home with just a few of her many grandchildren. She has storytime about once a month and as you can see, the children enjoy it very much. She is a wonderful storyteller!
The "middle" floor. 2/10
Our kitchen here. Previously, I posted the "top-floor" picutres of the split-level home we're in now. This installment is the "middle floor". The "basement" will come later.
A closer shot of the kitchen.
The dining/family room.
The backyard. It's a LOT bigger than our last one!
The back of the house.
Hot tub and waterfall. No, we don't use the hot-tub, the kids love the waterfall/pond feature though.
Family room.
Another angle of the family room.
