After a pathetic amount of pictures last week, this week I took 29 (half of them were on my phone because we went on several adventures). We were on break this week, but unfortunately one kid got a stomach bug and another got a cold that passed on to me. Today was mostly spent around the house in bed. It was so nice to be able to just focus on home.

Here’s our week . . .

The boys made me lemon and vanilla pastries. Yum.

A chef at work.

The littlest one went shopping.

These beauties from our garden.

Roasted cauliflower and asparagus. Brooks really wanted the orange cauliflower. It was delicious.

Oatmeal and buttermilk pancakes. So good and pretty healthy. 

The boys liked them. Its hard to get a picture with Silas because he is always talking.

Brooks made epic planes this week.

Jonas leaves his mark. He is always in the pantry.

Laughing at Dad. This one is totally his Dad. 

Brooks is really into long sleeves with short sleeves. Since we have colder weather lately, he has been layering so he can wear his favorite short sleeved shirts.

Going on a canoe ride. Boys are lucky to have such a fun Dad that openly mocks them.

Smores. Silas was telling me how much he likes smores. Notice Brooks’ long sleeve short sleeve combo.  This was the best picture of both.Digging for fossils at the museum. Definitely a highlight for our week.

There’s a reason why avocado is trending right now. Its delicous but I still am a fan of butter and salt.

A mid-bike ride break. The older two rode 7 miles on their bikes. 

Brooks dreams came true.

Planes at the museum. 

Panning for gems.

Finding dino eggs.

Discovering fossils. 

The end of a fun day. Brooks and Silas loved the worms in their ice cream.

This one still has his paci. I had planned to wean him this week but he got sick. We will try for next week.

Myrtle’s adventure. I tried to let her wander around the yard once day. She goes back on Monday and I am happy. I have been dreaming about finding her dead or having babies in my dining room. Its time she goes back to school.

This little one is so much work.

Bike ride.

I haven’t been feeling the greatest so I gave myself a sick day and stayed in bed for several hours during Jonas’ nap.

In the last week, I have spent my evenings doing this. Its a paint by number that I got a Christmas. Its harder than I thought it would be but I think its going to look nice when I am done. Its kinda like a grownup coloring book.

See you next week!
