ok.. our first day of home school was a success!! ella kate LOVED it and was so sad when we were finished! she made sure to tell josiah and miley that "SHE was the ONLY one who gets to do home school! the others are just too little!!" we did some reading, well.. actually a lot of reading, then we did some bible, then some spelling/letters, a science "project" and a little math! successful day, indeed:)but it all went downhill from there.. well, actually.. it all started rough, then got a little better, THEN went downhill....

you see, it all started when miley woke me up this morning whining for her "cup and wunch!" (meaning lunch which is really her breakfast). sadly, i did not get a sweet good morning hug, or a friendly voice saying, "good morning momma! how did you sleep??" nope. i got a grumpy little 2 year old with wild kinky blonde hair, her thumb in mouth, a big scowl on her cute face, her hot dragon breath beating down on me demanding "her cup and her wunch!" good morning, sunshine:) she chippered up some after a few pancakes and some "lemma-laid". but ella kate must have gotten bitten by the same grumpy bug, because after school, she was a mess. every little thing would bring her to tears. but thankfully my jos-man was along for the ride and as happy as a clam and my sweet little adalyn was her usual easy-breezy self:) she will be 5 months old on friday and i just now started her on some rice cereal. i think i started my other ones on baby food much earlier... but seriously, what is the rush?? she seems to be gaining weight and filling out just nicely on milk:)although, she LOVES her rice cereal:) she is a great eater and is usually sad when the bowl is empty! i am not looking forward to all of the baby food, though. that is one part of the "baby phase" that is my least favorite. i feel like it is such a hassle.. that is one reason why i have been so laid back about her cereal. i just wish that babies could go straight from milk to table food:) oh well... she is worth it:) we love us some adalyn grace!! josiah ALWAYS greets her when she wakes up from her naps by saying, "good morning sunshine!! did you sweep good? did you miss josiah?? i wuv you so much!!" miley was laying on my floor this morning with adalyn when i hear, "you want some?? here.... suck it!!" then she giggles and giggles... i look to see what is going on and find that miley has shared her thumb with adalyn who is actually enjoying sucking on it! gross!
