Greta’s 4wheeler lives

New parts and some wrenching by Ryan, gretas 4wheeler finally works again and she couldn’t be more excited. Ryan even let Lola drive it - with him on the back. Lola has 1 speed - fast. Greta is much more responsible driver. 

Homeschooling day who knows!

We’ve been hanging in there... but many mornings this is what homeschool looks like. 

Me: feeding Nora and teaching 2 kids 

Greta: working on seesaw for her daily assignments 

Lola: working in letters,  sounds and numbers 

Nora: eating or burping or spitting up 

A great day

Some days are harder than others. I try to find good in each day but each day I struggle. Monday we had beautiful weather and the girls and I made the most of it. 

Fairy garden set back up and played with

Pretend wayfinding

Girls lunch with fancy ladies (girls got dressed up)

Trampoline jumping - which Greta can finally do a flip. No pictures of me but I also did lots of jumping too. 

And lots of laughing and smiling and having fun! 

Barbie, barbies and more barbies

The girls have been playing lots of Barbies. They like to watch videos on YouTube to get ideas on what to do with the Barbies. Here is our conversation... 

Greta: did you watch videos to get ideas when we were little?

Me: no we didn’t have videos to watch. 

Greta: how did you come up with ideas? 

Me: we had to use our imagination. 

She was so amazed! I think her mind was blown! 😂

Only Barbie picture I currently have 

Updated with the new yoga studio I made with a box, wrapping paper, scrapbook paper and tape. Not too bad. 

Sprinkler Fun

Finally had a truly perfect spring day. Sunny. Temps in the 70s. And low winds. And of course to the girls that meant swimming but the pool isn’t open yet so Lola decided they should run through the sprinklers. 

It was cold but they had sooooo much fun. Lots of laughing and screaming. So much joy! 

Greta and Lola’s baking show

The girls love cooking shows - especially with kids. So they asked to do one. Well I wasn’t sure what they use or make so I let them make their very own muffins and ryan and I were the judges. 

I made a simple batter and then we got to our whatever they wanted in it. Eek! 

Greta chose white and butterscotch chips and marshmallows.  Lola choice white chocolate chips, peanut butter and marshmallows.

I baked them - a little too long even though I cooked them less than the recipe (and I was trying to feed Nora too). 

Then we tasted them. They weren’t horrible -haha - and night have been better if they weren’t crispy. 

And the winner - Greta for taste and Lola did creativity. 

And apparently I didn’t take any pictures of the result 😢 Lets just day I’ll do it different next time. 

Nora 2 months

I have no idea where the past 2 months have gone. It has been a laid back 2 months, definitely not stress free or quiet but Nora is fitting in quite nice. 

1. Is a great eater - and pretty punctual between 2.5 and 3 hours

2. Has slept through the night twice now

3. Loves Greta a lot and Lola too

4. Moves her hands all the time and has been hitting herself in the face (poor girl)

5. Loves baths. Getting out of the baths, not so much. 

6. Likes to be included and talked to

7. Is a spit-aper

8. Loves to watch her ceiling fan 

9. Smiles and is starting to make the cutest noises 

10. Enjoys going to walks outside. 

Everyone is missing her like crazy and we can’t wait for people to meet her but until then we’ll just keep loving on her and kissing on her.
