September 8 - Goal! Earrings!

Me & Nora sure have fun together while the big kids are at school.  Today she helped me "poosh" the cart at her request.  And then we took her babies for a walk in their stroller down our street in our bare feet when we got home.  She's such a sweet (and sassy) girl and makes my heart happy.

"Take my picture, Mom," he said.  "It'll be fun," he said...

Andlie had a good/no crying day at school today so she earned something awesome!  She got to put new earrings in her ears!  She's had the same ones she got pierced with since July 29.  Tomorrow makes it six weeks.  So we changed them today!  She picked some earrings out over the weekend and she chose the green dots to wear today because "green is Haze's soccer team color and he has a game tonight."

Speaking of Haze's soccer team - he scored a goal tonight!  He was SO PROUD.  Like that's a giant understatement.  You should have seen the look on his proud little face.  It was awesome.  Cute little toothy grin full of pride.  The best.  He is getting better & more aggressive and it's fun to watch him play with his little fire lit.  Getting a taste of what it felt like to score a goal really charged him up.  I can't wait to see him play again!  (Side note: Aren't his tiny cleats & shin guards adorable?  I mean...)

After the soccer game, Andlie had us play a game that she's been playing at school.  She played the part of the teacher and would call out a name of someone in our "class"/family.  When your name was called, you went up to the front and then everyone else had to say "hi" to you in unison.  Then Andlie had "the class" clap out the person's name (i.e. syllables).  Then we had to spell the person's name out loud.  And then Andlie asked the person to tell something special about themselves.  Then she wrote their name on a bigger piece of paper and let them hang it wherever they wanted.  And then we repeated until everyone had had a turn.  Don't worry, Daddy played the part of "teacher" for Andlie's turn.  (Andlie is so much like me that it's scary...)

I love that Nora loves her bed so much.  She always look so comfy when we check on her.  And I love her little froggie legs.
