You Might be a Mediocre Housewife if...

You might be a mediocre housewife if all three of your girls, upon waking from naps one day, see an ironing board set up in the living room and excitedly exclaim, "Oh, Mommy!! What's that?!"

Solid foods have opened up a whole new world of wonderful for Bubber.  Just one step closer to a trip to Five Guys with Daddy. 

He's really little!  His stats for the 9 month checkup were 25th percentile for weight, and 50-75th percentile for height and head size. We have to plump him up!

Enjoying some fresh air.

Nathanael still has 2 teeth, and isn't crawling yet.  He likes to log roll instead.

All the grandparents came down for the afternoon earlier this month to play and go to Charis' little music program with us.  It was so much fun to have all of them here!

Some good bonding time.

Getting spoiled :)

Slobbery smooches & snuggles.

Bethy's Christmas glamour shot.  This little princess has officially entered potty training! 

The kids have been taking turns getting sick since before Thanksgiving, so we've been semi- quarantined for what feels like a long time.  Here, Hannie was at the pediatrician for some tests to see about her high fevers.  I think she was just happy to get out of the house for a while!

 

Working on some crafts for Christmas gifts.

Playing bear cubs.  The girls have good imaginations, and Nathanael is a really good sport to get toted around all day as an accessory to whatever game is being played.

 

Christmas is almost here!  This year the kids are really into it and enjoying some traditional Christmas activities, which makes it more fun than ever.  Our meal plan for this week includes cinnamon rolls & candy canes for breakfast on Thursday.  (It may or may not also include Stauffers frozen mac'n'cheese and deli ham for dinner on Christmas Eve.)
