Today

More from this week...

Autumn joined us for a bit of The Bachelor on Monday night. She was actually staring at the TV quite a bit. I think she found all the pretty colored dresses quite captivating. But she was being super cute in my arms and Jason wanted some of that for himself:




Tuesday was the day I freed myself up by not bringing along a camera.

From Wednesday... here is another one of those sweet sibling moments between the two youngest while the oldest was busy at school:


Can you feel the love?








Since TumTums discovered her feet, she's been pretty interested in them:


So I snuck her feet out of her jammies for her. Nothing like the real thing:


I spent most of yesterday tackling mounds and mounds of laundry. Usually I stay pretty on top of it and do a load a day. But I'd gotten a bit behind and had to set up a clean clothes station on the kitchen table:


Two more loads came out after that, if you can believe it! But all the foldable stuff for drawers was on the table so when Jason got home everyone put away their stuff in their drawers and we took the hanging stuff off the chairs so we could still sit down to dinner (which was J's suggestion of open-faced "turkey melts" with a side of stuffing).

Today we are staying put at home in our jammies. I'm feeling a smidge under the weather and the kids all have coughs. So I said I would not be heading out to Walmart as originally planned and we'd just hang out here today resting a bit.

And even though we weren't heading out anywhere, Autumn was still in need of a bath. The boys are all too eager to help. And she was happy to see them there next to her:


Our girlie does love bath time!




Many hands make light work:


Easton was the one to wash her hair:




Eventually it was time to get out, which did not make her so happy:




But it was time for her luxurious robe and slippers from Jessica and Janna:


Isn't she like a little movie star in her dressing room?




The fun part is that her Autumn-Bear also has a pink robe and slippers (thanks to Dalton):


After that she was ready for a nap again. I'm pretty good with her cues and I can put her down and she'll go right to sleep all on her own. Well, with the help of a swaddle and pacifier:


Meanwhile Dalton had to spend awhile getting his baby settled. How sweet is he rocking that baby?

(He even got her a Cuddles of her own.)

Then he put her to bed:


When I came downstairs I noticed the baby's bottle is in the fridge again. :)

Cutie.

Speaking of cuties...here's a little preview for the grandparents from Easton's 5 year potraits. It's blurry and it's not one we'd ordered, but here ya go...
