We bought new cookie cutters last week and Kaitlyn couldn’t wait to try them out. Today was a quiet day at home and Ben was nice enough to take an extra long afternoon nap.

Month: February 2019
We love to bake in our house. We have lots of favorite recipes but we are always looking to try new ones too. Teague recently got a gingerbread muffin recipe from Raddish kids, but we hadn’t tried it for various reasons. Last week during our break, we had a ton of recipes on our to do list. This was one we finally attempted. Teague was happy to let Kaitlyn help and the muffins weren’t bad – although I doubt we’ll add them to our normal rotation. I was amused by Teague’s reaction to the smell of molasses. He had a very creative solution to the problem too!

Kaitlyn looks like the sweet, calm, innocent child. However, she was my first child to get stitches (really staples) and tonight required our first trip to the ER (again for stitches). She was jumping in the laundry pile. (Why do my kids love this activity?!?) She miscalculated and hit the edge of a piece of furniture. I wouldn’t have taken her in except form Alex’s last run-in with stitches I learned that if it crosses the lip line then you are supposed to get stitches. So here we go. Thankfully it happened at almost the end of the day so Wade could just come home a little early to be with the other kids. Kaitlyn was a champ through the entire ordeal. It took quite a few hours but the hospital gave her a new stuffed animal and had an awesome staff!

When the kids pitch in and help make cheese dip – everybody wins. I don’t have to spend quite as much time getting the ingredients ready and we get to the yumminess just a little bit quicker. I keep hoping at some point that one of the kids will ask to make this recipe on their own, but that hasn’t happened yet.
The second February birthday is here! We celebrated Teague all day long! Teague is lucky that his birthday always falls on either a weekend or break week so he gets a full day of celebration. We took advantage – birthday donuts, arcade and bouncing, take out dinner, and a special cake for dessert!

What kind of break week would it be without a trip to Chuck E. Cheese?!? Today we played games and lunched at everyone’s favorite game place (mine too)!

I’m so thankful for my Mom’s group and the activities they planned this week. Today they had arranged for a private time at a local bounce place. We had never been and it seemed like a great time to check it out. It turned out to be a little too much for Ben, but Kaitlyn and Teague had a great time.

We had another snow day and who am I to complain!?! Waking up to snow is the best.

Some days we just hang out in my room while I get a few things done – mostly laundry.
