Crazy or Funny?

As in all households filled with small children, or children of any age really, each week is an adventure in and of itself.  This week at our house was no exception.  Strictly for the sake of remembering these crazy albeit funny moments someday, especially in my fog of post-partum hormones these days, I'll try to 'jot' them down here.  And who am I kidding, also for the sake of making a few of them actually feel humorous after the fact! 

~Piper described in detail one afternoon as I picked her up from preschool, how she pointed out to the teacher (otherwise known as tattling!) that so & so started eating their snack before praying.  And how another so & so brought the wrong kind of snack.  Etc. 

~Hadley worked hard all week to not do 'something' each morning before school, and was able to fill out her reward chart and shop for her desired prize on Friday!  Guess what started again Saturday morning?  

~I got mastitis for the 4th time in Bryndel's short 5 weeks of life.  Insert a not very nice word here.

~ Piper kissed Bryndel this week for the first time!  

~The backyard clothesline was used to the max this week.  Bow hunting season is upon us, and our hunter has a rather large collection of hunting gear that has to have just the right scent come September.

~Hadley woke Kyle up at 4:15 a.m. one morning this week insisting that her tooth HAD to come out right now!!!  We quietly explained that we do not pull teeth in the middle of the night, but that we'd help her first thing in the morning.  At 4:30 a.m. she was back with tears, and Kyle quickly took care of that bothersome (in many ways) tooth.  She was rather miffed two hours later when she awoke to realize the toothfairy had not come!

~Piper told me quietly one morning this week, just as she did the first week of school, that, 'She keeps hearing Hadley, Hadley, Hadley in her head.'  She said it with sadness in her voice, as only a sister can when she misses her best buddy.   

~Thankfully, Hadley had her first day off of school on Friday, and the two best buddies were able to play ALL day with each other!  This included arguing, laughing, building a fort, making leaf projects, playing out in the cool morning air, and dressing themselves exactly alike!

 ~Ahh, yes.  And Bryndel smiled!!!  At 5.5 weeks, she just woke up one morning this week and decided to grace us with her beautiful gummy smile.  We have seen it a few times since, and we look forward to even more times this coming week.
