Ah, today was one of those days. I really can't complain though as it is 7 and all the kids are in bed. It will be interesting to see what Mikayla does though as she has been going down early and then waking up and not wanting to go back to bed until late. Her other option is skipping her afternoon nap and getting really tired and then also not going to bed until late. I can finally get her down by putting her in the sling and bouncing around the house. She is then up multiple times a night and is happiest in bed with us feeding all night long. I don't suppose I can blame her......nice warm bed, snuggles, constant milk supply.
Mikayla is not interested in the Bumbo. She will sit for a few minutes and then gets frustrated that she can't be mobile. She arches her back and twists to the side trying to free herself.



She can sit but really doesn't have much of an interest in it. She throws herself forward so she is on her tummy and then proceeds to start rolling.

Rolling, rolling, rolling.....




The bigger kids are good. Their favorite breakfast is oatmeal so we eat it almost everyday. It is filling, versatile and they always gobble it up. Today I served them cold cereal with some sliced strawberries on top. Aiden looked so excited and says, "Oh Mommy this is so good. Did you make it from one of your cookbooks?"

The kids have enjoyed being home from our week away, however Aiden has decided that Powell River is too small. He wants to move to Vancouver where all the high rises are. He says that they must have many adventures there. He also figures that July would be a good time to go. He continues to spend his time focused on fixing and creating things. His recent creation is a contraption made out of tinker toys that pumps air into holes to scare the spiders away. Caileigh gets stuck being his "helper", although she doesnt seem to mind.....yet. She balances the masculine activities by wearing her tutu.

Don't worry about the kids and their recent loss. The fish tank is cleaned and ready for a new "Bubbles". They are excited about his trip to Thailand (where Siamese Fighting Fish come from) and I am planning on splurging on a net to use while cleaning the bowl.

Well, there goes my bath. 2/3 are now awake.............
