Strawberries

We managed to grow a strawberry. We got the carboys from with and Chris cut them up. We added the dirt and planned some plants. After a bit of rain and sunshine we have a strawberry. The kids were super excited about it, but not excited enough to try it unfortunately. I'm secretly hoping that if they help grow food they will be more interested in eating the food and veggies.

Recently Chris introduced the kids to computer video games. It is now all they talk about it seems. However, it will be good times for them as they are here with this summer with the twins. 

Everyone is doing well per the pediatrician. Big E is the only one in the >50 percentile and he's in the 80th or something like that so he's definitely earning his nickname. Both are rolling over if they don't think anyone is watching. Both are quite interactive these days and able to tell time without knowing how to read a clock. Both are adamant that Mom gets home from work around 330 and that bedtime is between 645 & 7. Having had 2 kids who are still up 2 hours past being put in bed this is a novel concept for us.

A is a big 6 now and it's having a lot of fun being out of school. The last bit was tough on everyone. She isn't sure about 1st grade as she has the mystery teacher and she doesn't know everyone in her class yet! She did quite well in kindergarten and was actually the only one for her class to get to go to first grade this last quarter. She loved that.

G loves his big sister and is torn between being a big kid and a baby. He's getting better but we need to remember that he's only 3.

However, it is getting close to bed time so I'm being called to go for prayers and tucking in, again.
