Our days, everyday are spent together as a family of 7.
Being a larger family I'm not used to the extra number. For example Michael took two kids out yesterday leaving me home with 3. When I mentally did my head count with the 3 children in my presence and the two with Michael I was confused, the numbers 3+2 didn't equal 4... Strange I know ;)
Hosannah has thus far been a wonderful and easy baby. Even at night. She tends to marathon feed in the late arvo around 4pm onwards (today started around 5 it's 8 now and she's still going).
Children find themselves educational activities to fill their free time, Isaiah has been making a paper chain for party decorations that's happening this Saturday.
We've been watching different inventors and other educational shows. Today we watched about Helen Keller who got a fever and ended up blind and deaf. She ended up not being able to communicate and went wild until a special teacher taught her a different set of sign language, one that uses hands and signing in their hands.
Afterwards I tied a blindfold on Isaiah and he got to walk around the house without being able to see.
At dinner I caught Avigail shoving a pea up her nose but didn't think much of it, then she was trying to shove spinach up there and I made her stop. Afterwards she was sticking her finger up her nose and I said to Michael I think she has something up her nose. He looks and says there's a pea! While I was off looking for pea-up-nose-extraction-tools Michael told her to blow out her nose and blocked the other nostril, 2 blows and it was out. Random?!
I would love to blog a heap of things but I'm just out of time so this is it ;)
5 things I am thankful for:
1. Michael being home with us
2. The bonding going on within the family
3. A sweet massage for my sore achy back
4. Being able to get some things cleaned up and done
5. Food, cos I sure am hungry
