"I love my little brother James. I just want him to feel better."
-Ashlyn
James was sick this week and ended up staying home from school on Wednesday. Ashlyn did her best to help him, whether it was putting a blanket on him, bringing him some water, or dressing in foil to see if it would cheer him up. It’s nice to know that even though the two of them may fight a lot (as siblings often do), when one of them needs help the other is always there to provide it.
It’s Valentine’s week and since Ashlyn now knows how to write she was able to write out her own cards this year. It was still a long process since there are three kids to make cards for. Even Isla was supposed to have cards, and she’s in a class full of kids who are still learning not to drool on themselves.
We took a break this weekend from all the card making to go to LEGOLAND before it got crowded. The kids always have a good time there, which is good because we want to get our money’s worth out of those season passes.
A holiday, even one like Valentines, will not go by without Mom buying matching outfits and making the kids pose for pictures. Isla is teething but she did her best to cooperate.
Grandma came over shortly after the pictures were taken with Valentines cookies. Once we got the kids hyped up on sugar we walked to the park at the end of our neighborhood so they could play with Grandma. Thanks Grandma, the cookies are (were) great!
