MEA

It’s that time of year again, MEA.  Iris had yesterday and today off.  It was rainy/snowy and cold yesterday and I didn’t want to do any running around so we stuck close to the house.  We made vegan carrot cake cupcakes and they were awesome.  Dez got up on the table and ate 5 of them before we managed to stop him.  Naughty doggy.  It’s pretty crazy having all four kids to juggle.  I enjoy being home with my children and would not want life to be any other way, but there is at least one time in my day when I’m asking myself what the heck I’ve gotten myself into and what was I thinking having four kids and why can’t I just be single and young again with no responsibilities.  Then a little person smiles at me, or gives me a hug, or tells me I’m loved and it is all good again.

I gave Tavie a lemon piece to suck on yesterday and she said, “I don’t want it, it makes my lips fall off.”  That cracked me up.  I took Tavie and Kira for a dark and misty walk with the dog last night.  I had them bundled up in the jogger stroller.  We walked to the elementary school and back.  It was only 7:00pm but completely dark out.  Sigh.  We took the back way on the path around Kerber pond.  So nice.

Finnegan it a little snuggly wuggly and I love him so.  He is very laid back which I suppose will serve him well growing up with three older sisters.  Here are some pictures from our day yesterday.
