Hard to believe this little guy has been with us more than two months.

Finley Alec Buchan was born May 30, 2012 at 4am.  An 8lb 8oz baby BOY.

There are hardly any has any photos taken of him.
Any that are taken look like this

The poor guy is in trouble.  His sisters have already had jewelry on him.

We are all loving this new addition to our family.

Happy 6th Birthday Nollie

|
Nollie loves creating things.  The words that come out of her mouth most often are “Can I draw?”  She goes through stacks of paper drawing every day.
If she is not drawing you often see her holding her camera, preferring to take videos over sill photos.
Nollie has lots of ideas and doesn’t accept that something can not be done.
Nollie loves listening to stories.  She loves to eat with her hands
and if you get her outside she will explore for hours

This year Nollie lost her first (and second) tooth
Started Kindergarten
Continued Swim Club and joined Soccer and Sparks
and grew her bangs out.

Happy Birthday Nollie!

Tower in the Kitchen

|
Sitting at the table with my girls I spontaneously started building a pyramid out of the three plastic cups in front of me.  When I saw the girls were interested I jumped up and grabbed the rest of the stack from the cupboard.  The girls had fun putting together a cup pyramid. 

Next they had to try the same thing with bowls.

Soon after the plates came out too

and towers were being built.

Such concentration.

Plastic Egg Necklace

|

Do you have any new plastic eggs that are still attached together.  If you do, you can try making a plastic egg necklace.

As Nollie was playing with the bucket of new eggs today I challenged her to connect them into a necklace. I got my standard Nollie response that she was not interested in my suggestion and so I let it go. A couple minutes later she came by to show me the necklace she made.

Use Frozen Berries to Cool Hot Oatmeal

|

Oatmeal is a popular breakfast in our house,  I probably make it at least once a week.  Since I am up early, I can start the oatmeal and have it ready by the time everyone else starts rolling out of bed.

Often times the oatmeal is still too hot when everyone is ready to eat so we like to mix in some frozen berries.   It’s an easy way to cool off the oatmeal and add some fruit to our breakfast.

Frozen berries on hot oatmeal works for me!

How do you eat your oatmeal?
