5 on Friday - and it's actually Friday!

Here's another edition of my 5 kids on Friday!  I'm hopeful to get it actually published on Friday.  I mean, it is only 9:30 am.  How many distractions could I have today??  Well, we'll see...

1) Jacob:  When offered the option between going to Sunday School or going to the Worship Service with us, he consistently chooses the worship.

Goofball face at breakfast!

2) Zachary:  "I fell in love with someone in my class already!" (Gianna) Me: "What you're too young for that!" Zack: "I may look too small, but I'm not too young!" Me: *sigh*

How can she resist?

And Zack's goofball face...

3) Lydia: One morning this week she announced to me, "I'm going to make my own breakfast!  ALL BY MYSELF, I SAID!" 

She made cheese toast...



I'm trying to make more "Fun Mommy" time - ie, not get caught up in only doing chores like laundry or grocery shopping.  So one day we went for a walk in the wagon and checked out this small, but recently renovated playground near our house. 

4) Eliza: She's still adjusting to being a big sister...  I have made it out and about with the 3 littles a few times.  Eliza prefers to go "piggy-back" in the store.  Which is good because I know the value of "containment" when I'm out with several children!

Another "Mommy Fun" time - an outing to a weekly summer Children's Entertainment series at a local shopping center.  Eliza really loved dipping her hands and feet in the fountain! 

 

 

5) Anna: She's still just as sweet and precious as she was last week!  At her 2 week check up, she still didn't quite make it back up to her birth weight (she was only 8lb - has 6 more ounces to go), so we have to go back in next week for a weight check.  Everything else is perfect and she's nursing well, so I'm not worried. 

Vintage Anna: she wore my dress to church on Sunday!
