Living the High Life

Benny received mail from his bestie Gabey- Paw Patrol art supplies!! He was soooo excited he kept yelling for the stuff as I opened it. Jack was exciting too and kept asking "Ben, do you need help?" She was getting her piece of the pie!!

A regular night about 15 minutes before bed. 

I have been trying to film this little guy drinking forever. I finally got a blurry shot. It's sooo cute. We all gather round. Our 4th born. Or 6th. 

On Sunday evening the kids and I went to Grammy and Pops' for dinner sans Jim (because of trial). Jackie was teary at first bc she missed Jim but they quickly capitalized on time w their grandparents. 

The ice cream truck. 

Benny winding down to Blaze, his fave show of all time. 

On the way into our house Sunday night. This pic cracks me up. 

Jack drew a pic for Dada at G and P's house- I tucked the kids in and came down and found this. So he's see it!

I also saw this, which cracked me up. 

Lou was in a rough spot- seems she has some canine arthritis issues so whenever it is damp outside or whatever, we all coddle and carry and spoon feed her. Truth be told, it is scary. We love our Lou and I've been stuck with her for almost 1/3 of my life. What the hell.  If anything prepares you for kids, it's life with a beagle puppy. They destroy everything, eat and crap a ton and have more energy than any other living thing. 

Monday we met our friends for coffee at Panera. These babies are getting big!! 

It took Ben soo long to warm up to play w sweet Pelentope, but once they got started they were unstoppable. He is a lot like his dada. 

These 2. I just love them and am so fascinated by twins. 

Then Benny and I made a pitstop at trader Joe's. There was a cheese tasting contest. Brie v Bleu. Benny pounded Brie and frackers and I felt pride. Benny, Brie is awesome!! But only in moderation, buddy. Take care of your arteries. 

Post-Brie nap. 

These 2 goons. Their yoga teacher said "I always knew they were buddies, but today I saw just how much love they have for each other and it melted my heart. It is clear they will be friends forever" This is the 3rd person who has said this. I wonder if this is true. I am still friends w my first best friend, my bestie from kindergarten and a few other childhood friends and I will always love them. 

Hannie and Hilly are also becoming super tight which is AWESOME. She is more introverted than Hilly and quite a bit younger, but they def have some awesome times. 

Poor Lou. 

These goons. 

The amount of water spilling over the tub physically pains me.
