week 46 in pictures

sunday:015 when dave went in to wake up layla, this is how he found her. face, essentially, smooshed between the bunk bed rail and the mattress, and the covers pulled up over her head.

monday:022 roscoe, chilling on the pooh couch. dakota figured out how to get it to open up to make a nice little doggy bed. roscoe just took advantage when it was vacated.

tuesday:068 my 2 pages of allergy test results. the red ones have to go!

wednesday:050micah fell asleep during quiet time, snuggling a domino. he had been pretending it was a phone or a video game and insisted on taking it in with him for quiet time.

thursday:003 the missing lug nut.

friday:066 crazy busy day. kids had half days at school because of conferences. I has my workout in the morning, then came home and tidied up because tina was coming over at 11:30 to cut my hair, shane’s hair, and my mom’s hair. I even went to the bus stop w/ part of my hair clipped up because she wasn’t done drying it! then I had to run off to do back-to-back parent-teacher conferences at the school. I was supposed to be taking layla to PT after that, but her therapist has since sent us off to a new therapist in seattle who has more experience with toe-walkers, so her appointment was cancelled. my parents stayed for the afternoon, since it was friday and our turn to host pizza night… which brings me to the picture. since wheat, dairy, and green beans are all on the ‘red list’, pizza and beans were out for me. so I made one of my big fat salads. (I love these SO much!) this is no ordinary salad. mixed greens, spinach, radishes, tomatoes, snap peas, red cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, BACON, and sliced turkey. for dressing, fresh squeezed lemon juice and EVOO, with a sprinkling of paprika, garlic powder, and fresh ground pepper and sea salt. serious yum factor.

saturday:

no pic, no idea.  guess layla will have to draw something.

Road Trip Day 6

Yesterday was our last full day in Milwaukee. Shane arrived in the morning, but promptly went to bed and slept most of the day, since he had caught a flight at midnight to get out here. Matt took the kids fishing for a little while in the afternoon. Layla caught 1, Lauren caught 1, and Micah caught 4. They also did a little canoeing. Then there was some swimming, where Lauren, Madeline, Micah, and Layla were all trying to flip Dave out of his donut floatie. It took them like 20 minutes and was pretty funny to watch. Also, his toenails were stupid-long and some kids got mauled. Later Melissa, Doug, and Josh came over. We played corn hole, basketball, badminton, and an epically terrible game of kickball at the park. Until Josh kicked the ball over the fence and lost it. Good times. We brought Matt some Woodinville Whiskey from home. And then we impressed everybody with our $2 Harbor Freight tennis racket bug zapper. And Simon decided that Shane was a good enough human.

2011 week 4 in pictures

sunday: I stayed home from church with the boys, who had colds, and dave took layla. after, they stopped at the brown bag for a brunch date. layla was double fisting her water and apple juice. monday: layla brought home one of these breyer horse books from the school loved it. so I looked up at the library to see if they had them and ordered a bunch. she was SO excited. and apparently this is what she does, when excited… tuesday: no picture, but layla drew a picture of her missing the bus to go along with this , which I included in the book. wednesday: tried out my dehydrator. dried apples are sooooo yummy! thursday: layla doing homework and micah ‘helping’. friday: it was moms night out for me, so dave took the kids to cold stone. they love it when I leave. saturday: a little game of sorry. micah is not really ready for it, but with some help, he managed for awhile. it’s tough because he really wants to play. there was also a 8x10 collage of extras and another which include...

Road Trip Day 8

We've been a full week on the road now. 2 more to go. We started our Sunday in church at St. Paul's, where Dave worked (and the reason we ever lived here in the first place) from 2004-2006. Then it was lunch at Hill's, a bit more driving around, and discussions of various places (the fairgrounds, the bridge that got blown up, etc.). Then we went to visit Fred and Brenda, and wound up riding around on 4 wheelers all afternoon. Then, back to Danny's for steak dinner - so yummy! And then over to the Lange's for some puppy time! And we finished off with soft serve in a baseball helmet at Frosty Boy. It was a great day. So awesome to see so many friends and visit important places. License plate and state stats are the same as yesterday.

how to cook a turkey–by layla, age 6

“you get the turkey from the wild, where the wild turkeys are. you catch it with a net. to prepare it, you cut off the legs and the bones, and the beak and the eyes, too. you can stuff it with stuffing that is made of chicken. then, you put it in a big pan and stick it in the oven. you cook it at 4 to 5 degrees for 11 minutes. then you serve it by taking it out of the oven, cutting it up a little, and putting some spices on it. then you put it on plates and people can dish up all the other food, too.”
