If the opportunity presents itself Elliott will climb into the front seats of our van. This usually happens when the older kids leave the van doors open. Two year old Elliott is a little rascal.

Will and Lauren have been spending a lot of time "doing art" in the evenings. This is a self portrait Will drew of himself at a Royals game. I love his attention to detail. A few years ago he got a set of arm sweatbands in his Blue Crew package and he even included those, as well as some arm hair.

Tuesday was cold and rainy. I drove the 350 feet to the pool parking lot to pick up the kids after school because I had not sent them to school with an umbrella and the rain was coming down hard. That evening we all hung out on my bed and Will did his xtra math while I braided Lauren's hair. Tony is reading
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to the kids and we got in a chapter of that too.

Elliott ended his hunger strike Wednesday evening and actually ate the chicken and broccoli dish I prepared! For the past two weeks Elliott has been refusing to even try dinner. Up until then he would always at least try a bite before sliding his plate off his tray (eye roll). And thankfully this was not just a one time thing! He ate most of his dinner every night the rest of the week.

The Sanners joined us for dinner after they went car shopping Thursday afternoon. The Sanners lived about a mile from us up until April when they moved a whopping 6 miles north. They've joked that we are their "Ismael" family because we have a corresponding boy/girl match-up if we ever have to head off to the wilderness. After we ate we sat out front and chatted as the kids played in the front yard for a bit.

The kids did not have school on Friday (end of first quarter) and I took them up to Anthony's office for lunch. Will and Lauren had not yet visited Anthony since he changed job, so it was their first visit to this work space.

Anthony and I spent the day tackling chores around the house. We de-junked both the garage and basement, made two trips to Home Depot and did so much vacuuming our vacuum temporarily stopped working because it overheated. The kids did a lot of work too, and it warmed my mother-heart when I overheard Will reading books to Elliott to keep him out occupied. After dinner we introduced Will and Lauren how to play Ticket to Ride. A fun moment was when the Beatles "Ticket to Ride" came on our Spotify Station while we were gaming.

It feels so good to "de-junk" rooms. I love looking around at the rooms I've de-junked (and I would guess we have a lot more junk than you guys) and see how neat and specious the rooms seem after! Good for you to tackle that stuff.
