Up and Running

Below is our first and only fam pic of the 5 of us. Thanks to Katie's friend for taking the pic and to Katie for orchestrating it.  Getting everyone picture ready, including yourself, is an exhausting endeavor. It's seriously like the worst. So I don't take the existence of this miracle lightly. Don't expect another one any time soon. 

When we got home from NYC, Benny was sporting his Iron Man mask from Griffin and in a zone w his animals. I love when he doesn't stuff like this. Of all my kids, he is the worst at independent play- but he will do it and when he does it's really cute. 

Bath time that night. 

The next morning. Hilly dressed to the nines, eating pancakes. In my bed. 

Jim and I were both super sick this week with what felt like pneumonia for me and a bad head cold for him. Our kids were perfectly healthy though thankfully. Jim captured this pic of Benny napping in our bed. 

On Tuesday Hill and I walked to pic of Jack from school (Ben slept since Jim was home sick). Hill bossed around Benny's friend Drew like crazy. 

Face swap. 

Wed we booked it to our monthly dinner at grandma's (we missed Feb and March due to car accidents and.... Not sure what else). But I am so happy we got back into it. Poppop set out he trampoline and kid stuff in the yard and the kids ran around playing like crazy. 

At one point I walk in and poppop and the kids were all eating hot dogs and drinking iced tea. Hahaha

As usual, hysterical tears upon leaving
