Ellie being silly one day & playing in the laundry basket while I was starting a load. (Please ignore the duct tape handles…this is such a sturdy laundry basket & we’ve had it longer than our 22 years of marriage! I’m not willing to part with it for the poorly made ones now that don’t hold up, when the only problem is that the handles pop off. Lol)Ellie pretending to sleep on her “Rabby”We had been planning a secret trip to the Shedd Aquarium for a couple months. The kids knew we had a family day trip planned, but not what. Here’s their reaction to when we told them where we’re going!! Yay! (We have only been once, about 2 1/2 years ago)Ellie eats her chocolate pudding everyday (homemade with avocado) to take her medicine. Every day it’s the same messy face. LOL I always tell her she’s messy & she says, “No, I not!” (This picture isn’t even as bad as it usually is – see the next one!) Her face just cracks me up, though! Ellie had asked me to take a picture of her pretty blue dress to send to Oma one day after we had been talking on the phoneLexa took this beautiful picture of EowynA sleeping boy….…and his 😸A boy & his kitten! Logan saying goodbye to his kitty, Jewel, as he’s getting ready to go to a new home (thankfully to someone we know, so we may see pictures) 😊Logan saying goodbye to JewelLucas found this small bird egg & wanted me to take a picture Logan holding all 5 kittens on his shoulders…they really like to climb up there!Ellenor took Lilliandil (AKA Lilly) to bed with her one dayEllie loves her tricycle. One day I found her out riding her bike & she says, “Look, I put on MY shoes!” Haha…she’s wearing one of Lucas’s & on of Keira’s. The kids put Jewel up in a hanging basket one day to keep him out of trouble for a few minutes Holding a sleeping Lilliandil. Emma & Ellie playing…I think Emma is “knighting” Ellie 😊 They have Lilliandil on the TP next to them (that they put there, we don’t normal keep a package of TP in the kitchen…haha)Lucas & Ellie with some baby chicksEllenor loves to wear my socks (& calls them her own!)
