Alone time

I thought it would be fun to take each kid for some fun alone time with me. We are all together all day long with me running around trying to get stuff done. The kids usually hear, "ok I'll be there in a minute." and really its like 10. So I thought I could take one kid at a time to do something fun. So far Jack and I have gone to the library. Jacob and I have gone to Chuckie Cheese and Amelia and I have gone to Walmart. My plan is to do something free or really cheap because one, I don't want to spend a lot of money and two, its about our time together. I am not sure how long I can keep this up but I think the kids will keep it going. Jack especially has really liked the time alone. He repeatably has asked when is his next turn is. I also really enjoy the individual time with each kid. It is so nice to be able to focus on one kid and give him or her the most love an attention I can. I can tell each kid enjoys it too. Jack talks nonstop while we are out. Jacob is calm and loving. Amelia is wild and crazy.

Cooking



The kids love to cook. Amelia is especially learning to love to cook. Mostly for licking the bowl or the beaters.
