The boys headed back to school on Thursday after a wonderful Christmas break. Eli and Austin desperately needed a hair cut so I gave them one on Monday. Eleanor begged for one too. She'll be 4 on Saturday and she looked so grown up with her new hair cut!
Our dishwasher has been broken for months. I haven't mind doing the dishes actually, but my hands are definitely more dry now. I remember washing the dishes when I was a a kid and I don't know why I hadn't had the boys wash the dishes until now. They were excited about it. Hopefully the excitement continues. :) Now I don't want to buy a new dishwasher and have the kids become the permanent dishwashers!
Austin said he was excited to go back to school, but he was also going to miss Adelaide. They're great little friends.
Eleanor looked pretty fancy going to bed with her clip on earrings and high heels.
As I practiced the piano this week, the girls set beside me and wanted to play too. I started to get frustrated and wanted to ask them to leave so I could just play, but then I remember listening to my mother play the piano and I loved playing duets with her. I stopped feeling frustrated and decided to let them play along and I hope these moments will create a love of music in them as well.
Adelaide's physical goal this year is to learn how to walk! The boys love holding her hands and helping her walk along.
I cried on Wednesday night as I tucked the boys into bed knowing they were headed back to school. We had a very nice Christmas break together. Eli and Austin are so helpful to have around. I cried because I'd miss them during the day!
Since our church was canceled last week because of the snow, Eleanor had her first official day of sunbeams and she loved everything about it. Her great teacher brought fruit loop necklaces for the kids to make. Eleanor was excited to tell us all about it. Austin is also in junior primary so I love that the two of them get to see each other. We love our big sunbeam!! I texted Eleanor's teacher and thanked her for making Eleanor's first class so memorable. Her teacher replied: "She was so great and helped a few other girls who were so nervous today. So thanks to her for being so sweet and helpful. What a cutie you have!!"
