The girls

Last Thursday Priscilla and the girls came over, since I was leaving Friday morning for Indiana.  (We try to hang out at least once a week.)  I got some pretty cute pictures!

 

I was holding Lorien, and the week before I had told Priscilla "I swear this is how big Jake was at 6 weeks."  Priscilla said (proudly) "She's finally up to 12 pounds!"  I checked Jake's baby book, and sure enough -- at 6 weeks he was 12 pounds, 4 ounces.  (Yes, we are giants.)  Lorien is FIVE MONTHS OLD already!  Sheesh!  She's such a funny, sweet baby -- she laughs and giggles and it's SO funny.  She's pretty content, too -- she let me hold her for quite a while.  She wanted to jump and squirm around, but was fine sitting with me.

Want to see what happens when you let two 3 year olds have free reign upstairs?  (click on image to view larger.)  Priscilla and I just wanted to sit and talk, and that's easier dealing with 2 children, rather than 4.  Jake and Elauna really wanted to go play in Jake's room, so we let them.  I always keep Jake's room spotless -- ALL the toys are right where they go and he has a lot of open space in the middle of the room.  We kept hearing them upstairs giggling and thumping around -- jumping off the bed, no doubt -- and we kept asking them what they were doing.  At one point, Jake said they were playing with "the stuffed up animals you sleep with."  They had taken as many little toys from the closet door as they could reach, had puzzles everywhere, had a basket bookshelf all taken apart, took all the blankets and pillows off the bed . . .  I didn't see the room until later that night, and I just shut the door to deal with it when we got back.  Crazy kids.

ROFL OM goodness, that is too funny, I am sooo sorry I left you with that mess! I did not even think to check his room to help clean up.
What's with taking the sheets off? Boy they are crazy. ;-)
