Emma is Buying Lunchables

Emma has been writing her alphabet and she's really very proud of that (and we are too!).  Last night, after she wrote her alphabet she had some lines of random letters and scribbles.  Here's the conversation:

Mom: What are those letters?
Emma: Uhm its a grocery list
Mom: Oh where are you going grocery shopping?
Emma: Walmart
Mom: What are you going to buy there?
Emma: Milk, eggs, bread, some lunchables for my kids
Mom: (trying not to laugh) How many kids do you have?
Emma: uhm I have 4.....no 6 kids.
Emma: so can you babysit my kids while I go to the store?
Mom: (trying really hard not to laugh because she is totally serious!) yeah I can
Emma: uhm so can I have some car keys? Lets just pretend I can drive!

A garage full of boxes & minty fresh carpet

We've been in our new house for about a month.  Which has been so exciting for us!  We took some time off from unpacking the dreaded garage and are now realizing the consequences of our actions.  I still can't find all of Gage's clothes but I do know where Emma's & Maya's clothes are; but they are not reachable!  I have 2 very large boxes of shoes (mine!) that I would like to bring in but they are too heavy to lift over everything so I am just sticking to the 2 pairs of casual shoes & 4 pairs of boots (non snow boots) to wear for every occasion!

Emma is speaking to us with a British accent (thanks PBS) and she is also hanging onto the lisp she learned from some random movie on netflix.  Maya is enjoying her growth of 7 new teeth in the last month by biting my sofas and leaving toothpaste all over our brand new carpet!  Gage is enjoying making new friends at school and being in a primary class where he is the tallest kid by 6-10 inches.  Yes this is really true, I would have thought we were at a Weishaar family reunion - these kids are that short!

In other news, we are really trying hard to get Maya to sleep in her own bed.  She hates it and screams  most of the night.  Bill and I are taking turns getting up with her.  So we hang in there lacking of sleep and having a garage filled with our own stuff!
