February Picture Post

Get ready for more pictures.

These are from February.

...

Avery was the student of the month for her class.

Cute Ruby waking up in the morning.

Morning cuddles.

Story time at the library.

Eli loves going to the library play area after story time.

Eli loves arranging the letters and numbers in the bathtub.

The first week in February, Sean was in Orlando.

Here's some pictures he took while he was there...

Here's the kids waiting to pick up their dad from the airport.

Here's the short story of what happened that night...

We were waiting in the cell phone lot. I didn't realize that my phone wasn't working.

Eventually Eli kept screaming that he needed to poop. 

So I took all the kids inside the airport to go to the bathroom.

So I thought we'd surprise Sean and pick him up inside.

We didn't realize that we had just missed him.

He was outside on the curb waiting for us. Calling me. But my phone wasn't ringing.

He thought he were dead somewhere.

I though something happened to him!

Eventually I went to the information desk and used their phone to call him.

After an hour of us both stressing out, we found each other!

I finally bought something for the baby.

I want to make a matching shirt for my brother.

31 weeks pregnant (I think) and looking exhausted!

33 weeks pregnant and looking huge.

I have not been great about documenting this pregnancy.

But that's probably normal the fifth time around.

These two picked out their outfits.

Ruby fell on the stairs and got a rub burn on her face.

Ruby loves being in the bunny pen. But she is not allowed in their by herself.

Here's Lexi with her. They were just watching the bunnies eat in the hutch.

Here's Eli melting the last bit of snow in our front yard.

First time eating lunch outside this year.

Our original plan was for the rock climbing wall to go on the front of our playhouse.

But as soon as Sean and I saw it there we hated it.

So he moved it to the side.

All done.

M is for mustache. Eli was not a fan.

Eli reading one of his favorite books.

Love his artwork.

She loves coloring and drawing too.

Sean decided to build a miniature playhouse for Ruby.

And here's a few pictures from Valentine's Day.

Sean picked out everything for the kids. They were so excited to find surprises in the morning.

He did good!

The day before Valentine's, Lexi started crying hysterically 

telling me that she wanted to make a box for her class party.

It wasn't required but now she wanted one.

I was not thrilled. I'm not a Pinterest mom and I didn't have the time or energy.

But we made a trip to the dollar store and I let her decorate a shoe box.

She was happy with that.

Here's Eli with the bag he made for his class party.

Avery decided one morning that she wanted to wear my socks from Opal's wedding to school.

One morning we found a black bunny outside our bunny pen.

We had never seen this bunny before.

That whole morning, the stray bunny kept going back and forth under the fence 

between our bunny pen and the Robinson's bunny pen.

We eventually caught it.

That afternoon a lady from around the corner and down the street a few blocks

 came and got the bunny. She thought it was hers. It turns out it wasn't.

But Austin brought with her one of her baby bunnies for the kids to see.

One of Eli's favorite shirts ripped.

It's actually a swim shirt but he wore it like a regular shirt.

And he wore it all the time.

One weekend our stove stopped working and our kitchen sink faucet started leaking.

Our friend reset the oven and it started working again.

And Sean replaced the faucet.

That same weekend our grill wouldn't start up either.

But I'm happy to report that we've got it to work since then.

We think it wasn't working due to cold weather and wind.

Ruby's sleep schedule was changing and she wasn't going to bed great or napping great.

So she fell asleep randomly several times.

Ruby called the chimney on her Rapunzel tower, "Ice cream." Meaning ice cream cone.

I love watching Eli arrange his cars in lines.

It snowed again.

I taught art again. This time it was a painting of sunflowers in a vase.

These two have become a lot closer since they started sharing a room a few months ago.

My parents ordered these kids wands.

Here's the day they came in the mail.

They were so excited.

Here's the kids feeding a pet pig of a lady in our neighborhood.

I love seeing the different positions this girl sleeps in.

A cute sleeping boy. He still needs naps sometimes.

All ready for church.

We pulled out the book, Where the Wild Things Are.

We hadn't read it in years.

When we got to the page where a forest grew in Max's room, Eli's eyes got so big.

He was so surprised.
