A Busy Week!

This past week was a little crazy and a lot exhausting.  Larry and I both started back to school this week so my parents came in town to watch the girls.  Jenny and Eric were in Texas all week so that meant that my parents had all four girls!  I think the week was just as exhausting for them.  Larry and I also had to fit in a kindergarten dessert, my open house, and all his scrimmages.  By Friday night I was so tired!  The girls had tons of fun swimming and playing every day.  They love having their Mima and Papoo around.  Here are the pictures of the week (in reverse order).

Saturday Reesi made me make a cake, again.  She is loving these cake shows on tv, but it means she wants to make cakes all the time.  Not so healthy!  At least this one was strawberry which is not my favorite flavor and not so tempting.  

Being away from Elye Kate during the day has made it seem like she has grown so much.  She is getting so chubby and since we've never had a baby with rolls we are loving it. 

Dad kept super busy this week too.  When he wasn't supervisor the three older girls he was power washing the house, painting doors, and finally putting up that weatherstripping that Jason told us was so important.

Thursday, after getting home from a long days work at 7:00, Mimi and Reesi helped me make(well actually they did most of the work) kissing hand cookies.  I always read The Kissing Hand with my kiddos and parents on the first day so we made a hand with a Hershey's Kiss in the middle of it for snack.  

And Reesi got flour everywhere.

Grace had her first day of first grade.

Elye Kate loves the swing.

And Lyla loves to climb the swing.

Julie came by to do the Drano test to determine the sex of her baby.  It was inconclusive due to the minuscule amount of urine she could eek out.  I thought pregnant girls always had to pee!

I store a lot of my kindergarten teaching supplies in my garage and Reesi loves to explore!  This day she found feathers!
