hmmm.

these pictures were taken in a matter of seconds. i can't wait to learn more about this little girl! she is sure to keep me on my toes!

today was a rough one.

i mean it.

li was sick, which is never fun. he wanted to be carried everywhere.

ada had a field trip to the life and science museum. i thought it would be fun to stay and let elias play. but like i said, he wanted to be carried the entire time. oh, and scream too. he likes to hear his echo i think.

did you forget that i also have an infant? she likes to be carried too. like, all the time.

hanna was good at the museum though. she impressed everyone.

then we got home and she cried all afternoon.

ada, well, was ada. sweet and sassy.

she doesn't like being the oldest all the time.

especially when elias is "tougher" (her choice of words.)

she is not tough. she tells me this daily.

i hope she gets tougher.

dying easter eggs.

if you don't have vinegar or lemon juice, it is really hard to make them brightly colored.

ada checking the dye.

then, i left for a minute and came back on the porch and the kids were eating the eggs. yep, they peeled them and ate them all by themselves in the matter of minutes. yummy.

hanna was exhausted after our field trip today. i set her down on the couch on the porch and her crying ceased.

ada refused to smile for the camera. then, i asked to to think of the funniest thing she has ever seen. "elias' poop... especially when it is green or blue!" she thought it was hysterical.

sick, but cute.

tomorrow will be better.
