I love spending time at home with the family. I like to get out as well, but I'm pretty much a home body. I love to just sit back and watch the kids play and entertain themselves. The kids are always using their imaginations. They are coming up with different games and activities to keep themselves occupied. Right now I can hear them in Jonah's room "building the coolest roller coaster ever." Don't worry I checked it out and it is safe! They all love coloring. Caitlyn and Jonah are constantly drawing us pictures and then they go right in and hang them on our bedroom wall. Caitlyn also likes to write us notes. She wrote me a thank you note for a new outfit that we gave her for her birthday. It said, "you have given me a lot of things, lots of it love. It has been a breeze being your child." That was one of the sweetest compliments I have ever had. She is very thoughtful like that. Receiving gifts is definitely one of her love languages. It doesn't have to be anything big. I could pick her a flower in the yard and it would mean the world to her because I thought of her. She is very easily pleased and I love that about her.
Caitlyn and Jonah love to have "sleepover parties" on the weekends. They love to sleep in the same room. We put our extra crib in Jonah's room in hopes of moving Wyatt down there soon. Unfortunately Wyatt is waking up every night crying lately so I haven't dared move him downstairs yet. I just let him cry for a few minutes and he goes back to sleep, but then of course I'm up for hours! I hope this is some weird phase that will pass soon! Caitlyn and Jonah were begging for Wyatt to sleep with them. I told them I would try it and see what happened. Wyatt was all smiles until I turned off the light, he screamed and wanted out of there after that. Caitlyn and Jonah were really disappointed when I took him upstairs.
On Saturday Keith's parents came over to celebrate Caitlyn's birthday with us. The kids were excited to show off for them! Caitlyn has been so excited for her birthday this year she can hardly sleep. Wyatt has been so determined and strong willed lately. Keith's parents brought candy bars and he kept giving it to me to open and I said no. He disappeared for a minute and I went to check on him and he had a candy bar and some scissors and was trying to cut it open. Yikes, time to move the scissors to a higher drawer! He sure keeps me on my toes lately.
