Judd got a splinter in his foot this morning.  He came inside to show us and said, "It hurts, but I'm trying not to cry because I'm almost 5."

Jaide was fussing some this morning and Sloan was helping me entertain her.  Sloan said, "Our job is to keep baby Jaide from crying, isn't it Momma."

Today, for some reason, I just really enjoyed being home and doing domestic things like dishes and laundry.  Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the amount of both of those things, but today I just felt really thankful I have people to fold laundry for and wash dishes for.

The kids were fairly entertaining today.
Jett put on his new football pants, his "Daddy shirt" and the wrist protectors you wear when riding a bicycle.

Judd loves praying mantis (or "hermantis", as he calls them) and he found one this morning on the porch.  He and Sloan made a home for it on the pumpkin complete with a bed and bridge.

This afternoon, Sloan picked some of my flowers and brought them in so "we could each have one to wear in our hair".  Love my girls!

The boys got dry erase boards for their birthday and Judd was using his this evening to practice writing his letters.

Judd and Sloan picked me some "flowers" this morning, which I am proudly displaying on the kitchen counter.  Who needs roses?  Definitely not me.

I find it amusing that out of all the movies the kids could choose to watch, they pick The Sound of Music.  That's what they wanted before bedtime tonight.
