The Williams Six

Caleb asked me if we could do a scavenger hunt today. Caleb calls it a "pirate treasure hunt". This is the first time we've done that since moving into our new house. Chloe wanted to play outside after, so I made the last clue to the mailbox (I needed to get the mail anyway). This is no lie.... Caleb opened the mailbox and there was a package addressed to "Pirate Caleb Williams". My mom had sent him a pirate shirt. She's fun and addressed it cute! What would be the chances that the first time we did a pirate treasure hunt in months, there would be a pirate package waiting for him at the end. I called my mom to tell her thanks and share this story. She said she had the shirt ready to mail for two weeks. I love coincidences like this!!

"Today is a great day to skip school." - Caleb If you know anything about my school attendance record, you will know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I could always find a reason to skip school. Ha! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

If you have been reading my blog long, you know I shamelessly brag about my children. I know its a completely unattractive trait, but I adore them so much that I can't help it. They are all so different yet so amazing and wonderful. My sweet baby is so awesome. Barely a day goes by that someone doesn't say to me "I just love him. He is so cute." Luke has the most infectious personality for a kid his age, whose only word is "ball". People just love him. He makes the most hilarious faces. Luke is such a snuggler. He loves to be held, and when you pick him up, he hugs you and lays his head on your shoulder. He does this to everyone, but people are always so flattered by it and love it. I call Luke a caveman because he is fearless. He climbs on everything and jumps off everything. He is seriously so great. Luke truly carries so much favor. He knows how to get what he wants. When he wants something, he points and occasionally screams. Without ta...

I have talked about our bedtime routines before. I love nightly tuck-ins. Even when I am exhausted, spending those few minutes with my kids is the best. Brett and i spend a considerable amount of time on the bedtime routine (most nights). After we say goodnight, Luke falls asleep pretty quickly. Caleb and Chloe each play in their respective rooms for awhile. When Caleb is ready to get into bed, he always asks me to come into scratch his back and snuggle with him. And I do it. Because I know the days are numbered where he will want me to do this, so I am soaking up every minute of it! I don't stay in their long, but it is in those moments that Caleb is the most open about what's on his heart. I absolutely love it!!

Chloe calls a ponytail a "hair pony". I think it's so cute that I don't correct her. She has started wearing pigtails more often, which I think are so cute! (as I write this, I realize how goofy the actual names are....pigtails and ponytails!) - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

How am I supposed to not die laughing when she struts out of her room?? In case you can't tell, those are tights, not pants. With yellow heels. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

To say I adore this boy is the understatement of the century.... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
