keepin’ on, keepin’ on . . .

So, a very determined and hard working Daddy was able to remove the artistic masterpiece that Hudson created on our den wall with Magic Eraser . . . (Yes, Magic Eraser, you may sponsor my family and all of our many endeavors that inevitably involve Sharpie markers within—or on—the walls of our home)

This Friday night, we had a tiny Reppard family FIRST . . . we put Anna to bed, threw on our jammies, and snuggled on the couch with some popcorn and watched part of Mary Poppins.  It was SO MUCH FUN!  I think that the boys loved it just as much as Hatch and I did!

Snuggle bugs!

It has been a little chilly around here, but it hasn’t stopped us from playing . . . we throw on our winter hats, bundle up, and head outside to play!

Sister is quite adventurous and climbs up onto things all of the time.  I walked into the dining room to find that Anna had climbed up onto a stool and was about to climb and stand up on a nearby chair!   And, this precious child still hesitates to say “please” but has managed to master saying “mine” and “NO!”  (Wherever did she hear such words?)  She is precious as can be, but boy is she going to give me a run for my money.  Sister is a sweet little wild woman!

Cousin/Baby Charlie had been on a very fun beach vacation with his Ba-Ba and Poppie, so we had to pop in for a visit once he got back home.  We all loved being with him and hearing about his ride on the airplane and his trip to the beach!

Daddy had a dishwasher museum in our front yard this weekend . . . it seems that our appliances are fading one by one.  Fear not, our very own mr. fix-it is working hard to repair our dishwasher and I’m sure it will be as good as new before too long!

 

Normally, we put Anna down for her nap and then I get the boys down for their naps.  But, one afternoon this week, Anna fell asleep in the car so we were trying to tire her out before putting her back down.  She was my little assistant and worked to help me get the boys into their beds.  She gave each of her brothers a snuggle and a kiss (along with quite a few giggles) before heading off to her own bed.  It was so cute.  She would lean in and make the kissing noise with her lips . . . OH MY HEART!

I LOVE THESE BABES OF MINE!

May you have lots of snuggles and warm blankies all around you in the coming week . . . nighty night!
