LaFeber Life Lately: A Quick Little Update :)

As the nesting hormones are creeping in and my ever growing to do list is constantly on my mind, I keep reminding myself to stay on top of my writing so that it doesn't feel so insurmountable. I want so badly to keep track of ever second of our lives so I don't forget any of it, but that does become difficult with how busy we are. So here's a little update!

Josh and I rotate working Saturday's now that his job requires it, so I got to spend my Saturday with the kids eating mickey mouse waffles, playing at the park, and enjoying Story Time at the Library! The Librarian was reading a story about being a big sibling and this must have made Austin feel all warm and fuzzy inside because he was hugging Evie the entire time! :)

Evie likes to wake up and climb into bed with me. We cuddle and giggle and then she asks to watch home videos of her and Austin when they were babies. It gets me every time! I can't believe how fast it has all gone by and how big my kids have gotten!

Making homemade vegetable soup for dinner tonight!

I don't know why, but Austin insists on wearing glasses or goggles every time we cook together hehe!

These goofballs are my whole world!

Afternoons with Evie! I try to lay down and rest on the couch every afternoon so I can gather up enough energy to make it to night time. This pregnancy has really taken it out of me! But how can one complain with this kind of home entertainment! :)

My nature loving girl :). Today in the car, she said, "Mom, I love this world that Jesus made for us! It has library's and parks and the beach and swimming pools! It's all so beautiful Mom!"

Taking a lazy day at home and making pumpkin gingersnaps with my favorite girl while Austin is at school! The kids LOVE to cook with me and I LOVE to share that passion with them! It really does provide awesome bonding and learning experiences!

Austin lost his first tooth!! We were so worried he was going to have to see the dentist to get it removed because it was barely wiggling and he already had his adult tooth growing in behind it! But then, one night, he accidentally knee'd himself in the face while trying to put his pajama pants on and he knocked it out himself!! YAY AUSTIN!! The tooth fairy was so happy for him (and to not have to pay an expensive dental bill) that she gave him $10 and wrote a note to congratulate him!

The kids and I both love library days! I can't believe we only have about 6 more weeks before it will no longer be me and my two kids! I will be juggling three kids and hopefully loving every minute of it! But in the meantime, Evie and I are making our last days of it being just the two of us at home count!

I got the genius idea for Family Home Evening to have a cooking competition! It was so fun and actually ended up being the best glazed salmon and sauteed sesame green beans that I've ever had!! Earlier that day, while Josh was at work, the kids and I looked through a cookbook and they picked out what they wanted to make. Then we went to the store to grab all the ingredients and had it all set up when Dad got home! Then we split into teams and competed for who could make the best food! It was so entertaining and a great learning experience! We will definitely be doing this one again soon!
