Um life is crazy, barely keeping up - can't wait for the end of the school year! Kids are great though!
Why stress?
Our big kitchen remodel kicked off earlier this month! Since we were tearing down a wall, we let the kids draw all over it. I have no idea what the story is... something about a cat president, working at city hall, with the planets above? Then we let them "try" to hammer holes in the wall.
Art
We turned our laundry room into a makeshift kitchen, and are trying to function with our front room as a play room, eating area, homework area and pretty much anything else that comes up... it's chaotic and messy, but we're used to our new routines.

After demo, new (unfinished) wood floors placed
Hoping that things will be done by the end of April... but I'm keeping my expectations low!
In other news, Ben sleeps in a big boy bed! He fell out the first night, but seems to have the hang of it now. He still doesn't quite understand that he can get out of bed on his own, and still waits for us in the morning. I'm ok with that! We also had his 3-year checkup this week, and the office staff was just tickled with Ben. He handled everything like a champ, and is super healthy and on-track!
Evie helped him test it out
Ben often likes to finish the fruit bowl at dinner
We had a fun family date night this weekend, did some projects at the art studio and then a yummy dinner. We literally sat down and ate a peaceful dinner with all three kids. In public. This is a milestone.
Painting away!
Ben painted for like 10 minutes, then decided his toy trucks were more interesting
My little perfectionist
Evie was the "Star Swimmer" at school last week, and one day she had to show a talent to the class. She wanted to do piano or hoverboarding, so her teacher suggested we send in a video. I did a video of her playing piano. Then Jamie had to one-up me.
Here's a few others:
