Last Week and Cousins!

It's so hot.  Hotter than it is in Houston.  What are the odds?  So, while trying to stay in the air conditioning we decided to bring out the paint.  I think I need a new strategy for this now that Lorelai is moving everywhere.  It got on the carpet, on the furniture, everywhere.  And she is too little to really understand "rules."  

 Gabriel understands the rules until his hands get messy and he needs them cleaned off immediately.  To only get them dirty immediately following the clean up.  lol  He saw his sister eating the finger paint so he decided to give it a taste.

 But, it wasn't that good so he decided to smear it all over her face.

 We're also having a BIG problem with him waking up too early in the morning.  He fell asleep on the couch at 9:30 a.m.  I moved him to his room.  He slept there until 11:30 when he heard me getting lunch ready.  Then he came out and fell asleep on the couch again until 12:30.  We are in the process of fixing this sleeping problem.  It's not only effecting me day in and day out...but obviously it's effecting him as well and it's gone on much too long.

 In fun news.  Matt, Angie, and kids came up for a visit.  I can't believe how much Caroline has grown!  The last I saw her was at 2 weeks old and now she is 5 months!!!  She has a sweet smile and a great laugh.

Barrett is so fun to talk with.  He has so much to tell you.  Gabriel enjoyed showing him the ins and outs of the iPad.  Gabriel wasn't a big fan of Uncle Matt's commandeering of the iPad to check Eagle news though.  lol

Keeping the little ones busy is always a workout:

    

It was a fun visit.  We look forward to getting together again sometime soon!  :)
