Life at home

Having three children now, one of whom needs to be fed every three hours, and not having a car on many days has made us homebodies on a whole new level. The feeling of being house bound also increases when one lives in a small house and when the weather gets colder. These are some pictures I took last week while Steve was gone to show what we do for excitement in our quiet, at home lives.

Friday mornings there is the garbage truck show that the boys never miss.


Their favorite new toy is my laundry baskets, which they fill with all kinds of treasures(books, diapers, food, dirt etc...) and push around the house. They also occasionally enjoy a few quiet moments of reading in them.



Some days, if you recall the baby powder post, they get into things without asking mom. This was far worse than the baby powder. It was a can of frosting. My floor still hasn't recovered.







After events like this, we turn to the television while I scrub.


As for this boy, well, he eats (he is 12 1/2 pounds already!) and he sleeps- a lot.





This last shot is one of several attempts I have made to get a decent picture of the three of them. As you can see, it hasn't worked very well yet. Ah well.

That frosting looks delicious.

Adelaide even knows what to do with a laundry basket. Just watch out for your toes.

Wow Nicky, That was a GREAT post!! You are like a champion blogger now. I am so glad Claire is not to the playing-with-frosting stage yet... but I am looking forward to the good times to come. :P

It was fun to see you in Chattanooga... just wish it could have been longer. Oh well... next time :)

Thanks for the post.
