Wednesday

Our Wednesdays are always long days, since Ty doesn't get home from work until late, and we chose to stay home most of the day (after a brief outing to My Gym). So.....to bring a little excitement to a normally ho-hum kind of afternoon (and blog), I decided to log our time in pictures for you. So here it goes....

When Luke woke up, we decided Ellie needed some tummy time (even though she wasn't to keen on that idea). This is our picture from the day before, but it was still part of our day on Wed. too! :)

After a short tummy session, it was time for a fall craft. I had some real fall colored leaves in a box of fall decorations, so we chose a few to make a tree collage with. Luke's favorite part was the glue, of-course.

And while he glued away, Ellie did this...(taking this picture at that angle was quite a feat, I might add!)

And Tess did this:

Isn't she so pathetic looking! Poor pup.

When Luke finished his little tree, I had to coerce him into posing with it for me...

...and then we headed to the playroom to kill some more time before dinner. Ellie was happier to be on her tummy this time around...

and even gave me a few funny faces...

Then she explored Squirt from Finding Nemo. She was SO interested in his big eyes.....she just stared and stared, throwing in an occasional smile for good measure!

With my camera pointed at Ellie, Luke decided he needed some attention too, so he brought me his pinwheel.

And finally, when Ellie was almost tuckered out, I caught this cute shot of her and Luke....

Don't you just love how Luke is laying there with his sis? Almost as if he's offering her moral support. Cute, cute. It was time to make dinner after that, so I put Ellie-Belle in her swing, threw on a video for Luke and headed into the kitchen for a bit. And when Ty got home at 6:45, dinner was on the table, ready for him. Am I a nice wifey, or what?! :) LOL!

And that, my friends, was our Wednesday. Today is another day at home. We took a LONG walk (over an hour) to another neighborhood this morning to feed the ducks, although they wanted nothing to do with the bread we brought them. :( And after our walk, I made several attempts to get some 2-month pictures of Ellie. For the first time ever, she was in a real funk and cried nearly the whole time. :( Bummer. I had to stop several times to calm her down, but eventaully I snagged some good shots of her. I'll share those in a day or two! They are SUPER cute, so stayed tuned. :) The rest of the afternoon will most likely be spent cleaning house and doing chores. Fun, fun. But....there is lots to look forward to in our weekend, so I can't complain too much! :) I'm off for now to tackle that to-do list! Ta-ta! :)

Brayden loved (and still does) looking at toys with big eyes. There's something about the shape and the black and white I think.

I love the pics...great way to show your day's events.
