More picking...

I heard Evan crying today, came into the room to find Liza picking his nose. I told her to stop. Liza says "but Momma, he has a boogie." She has such a heart for others. Or, she just likes picking noses. So now not only has she used HIS finger to pick HER nose, she's picked HIS nose too. Just keeping it all in the family.

Pick your Sister

Something I never thought I'd say: "Liza, stop picking your nose with Evan's finger." Apparently you can pick your sister. :)

First time for 5 at the zoo!

We took Evan to the zoo for the first time today. This was the first time we've all gone together, as a family of 5. It was great. We didn't like having two strollers all day but hopefully that won't last too long. Liza loves watching the animals, Sara loves watching the people.

as you can see, Evan had a great time. This is pretty much what he did the whole day. We did our best to make sure he stayed cool and dry and fed. What more can you ask for? I'm sure it will be a memorable experience for him.Apparently, we wore them all out. They all fell asleep on the way home. If you look in the tiny mirror you can see that Evan is also sleeping. It was almost like a date for Steven and I in the front seat, or would have been had I not kept nodding off :)

The good, bad and crazy from this week...

This is the crazy...sort of

1. Okay, this is Liza being a little crazy. I think it's her Bret Michaels impression. 2. Again, Liza. This is why we have not yet removed the railing.
3. Something unrelated to my kids but definitely crazy - we went to the zoo today and I was shocked by how many people were not wearing shoes. I'm serious. One of the barefoot men also had on a long ladies skirt. It's just strange and gross.

The bad...sort of

1. Liza knows she's not supposed to be crawling behind Daddy's guitars...This is Liza being bad. Her face says she knows it too. 2. Also bad...this is my poor laptop now being held together with binder clips.
3. This week Liza also learned she can make Evan cry by her crying and then they both cry and it seems like a competition because neither will stop crying until the other one does and then I can't get either one to stop and then I want to cry.

4. Liza peed in the floor twice this week (see number 6. on "The Good" post) makes it feel not so productive, both figuratively, literally it clearly was.

5. There is a colony of crickets living in our basement, believe me, this is bad.

The good, bad and crazy from this week...

This is the good...

1. Evan is 4 weeks old! He has rolled over already, the first time being at 1 week old.
2. Evan is sleeping 6-7.5 hours a night! Woo hoo! "Someone turn off the lights"
3. I love that I have two babies that still sleep like this. Super sweet feet!

4. Sara started pre-school this week. She goes three days a week. She had a great week and seems enthusiastic about the new school year. Liza insisted she also have a first day of school photo taken even though she's staying home. Still cute. Liza struggled a little the first day Sara was gone and wanted to be with her. But adjusted fine by the end of the week. Something I (Momma) learned this week from Sara going to school - Sara is my mess maker. Liza didn't make messes when she played while Sara was at school.

5. The new year started at church - Sara is a Cubbie in AWANA this year and Liza is a Puggle.

6. Liza pooped in the potty this week. Didn't think you'd want a picture of that.

Rolling around

Evan rolled over AGAIN! He's going to be hard to keep up with!
