A whole week of Mommy being sick was no fun! I woke up this morning finally feeling free from my sore throat, runny nose, and horrible tummy aches. So yet again I got behind on my blogging and will be doing a couple of them for the week and the weekend.
This week passed me by in a daze since I was feeling terrible. I took it one day at a time. I still watched Kaiah and Maisie and all the kids did great. Ciara really started talking a lot this week.

That is some good stuff! |
Monday the girls played tea party. They did this together (without any outside influence) for about 30 min and this is a record timing for two toddlers to do anything. They would take turns pouring eachother tea and then drinking it down after giggling about something funny was said. It was like they were two best friends telling secrets over tea.
Caleb is doing much better about playing by himself. We used to have a really hard time getting him to play instead of complain when no one would play with him. But with so many kids around I think he almost enjoys his time alone now and his big kid toys.
It was really nice outside so I gave the kids some icy pops and they sat on the porch together eating them. When they were done Caleb ran off to play with a neighbor who had stopped by and the girls came to sit by me and watch him. Then Caleb invited the girls to come play ring around the rosie with them. They played lots of race games and then found a bug!
Later that day Calebs older friends (Joni and Hunter) came over to jump on the trampoline with him. Caleb is completely obsessed with Joni and Hunter! He looks up to them so much! Since we moved here Caleb has spent most of his summers playing with them. They play hard!
When I started to walk away Caleb said “Guys lets do this!” and he started meditating. The other two followed and I turned on the camera fast enough to catch this silly act. Caleb is such a leader.
A couple days later Kaiah wanted to give everyone a makeover. We have pretend scissors and cut everyones hair including the dog. Ciara loved to get her hair cut and nails painted and makeup done by Kaiah. Caleb got tired of it pretty fast and pretended to die.
Maisie has started to suck her thumb! I know its not the best thing for her, and her parents hate it but I cant help but think she is the cutest little baby with her thumb hanging out of her mouth while she naps! (The baby was placed next to her by Ciara. She usually gives the baby a baby and says “Babies!” and laughs)
It was a really long week with me feeling so bad but the kids kept me laughing like they always do!
