This week will be a little lighter than normal on photos since I had my last Sunday's update just this past Thursday. But, there's still fun to be seen so let's get on with the show.
Let's begin with the activities that the girls enjoyed this week. Nothing too exciting or adventurous, but still loads of fun for the girls with silly imaginations. Here they are making "snow" angels in the carpet - notice that they have donned their matching fleece caps to stay "warm"...with their feet still bare. Hm...
Here they are just "playing" in the snow and "flying"...not exactly sure why. Just saw them doing it while I was checking on them from doing dishes and grabbed the camera because it was adorable.
OK...guess what they are doing here? Building a "snowman!" Out of pillows...
Suddenly, both girls went running upstairs, and when they came back down, they had donned their swimsuits and were headed to the "beach." Here, they asked to borrow the little kitchen broom to make a beach "umbrella"...
Ri always prefers to curl up on her "beach blanket" after she has been covered with "sunblock" to lie in the sun.
Tay preferred to sit in the "shade."
Ri decided she should move into the shade, too, so she relocated, and Tay decided she needed some sunblock anyway, so she is applying it here.
Now, they decided they were too hot so they would go swimming and do a bit of treasure hunting in the ocean. Can you tell they are holding their breath? They crack me up...
On another day, I caught this little gem where Ri was sitting quietly in the playroom and "reading" a book to her "babies" (stuffed animals).
Ah, games are very popular these days, too, and Memory is one of our staples. Of course, when the girls are playing, the baby always want to play beside them or...
...grab at the cards herself! At one point, she grabbed two cards and they matched and both big sisters were SO amazed! ;)
Every once in a while, I turn on some "body worship" songs on youtube, and this day's song was "Awesome God"...the girls love to follow along with the movement as well as try and sing along with the fairly easy song lyrics.
We have also been feeding the birds "breakfast" almost every morning. The girls are always amazed at how quickly the birds come to feed and how quickly the seeds disappear! Some of the birds are even getting curious about what is inside the window and will frequently come right up to the window to take a peek.
Now, the littlest Ryals has been working super hard to get mobile this week. Well, ever since she has started rolling over, she has been a nonstop mover. She just can't get her body to do what she wants it to all the time...
So, there are many face plants...like this:
And she is really just working at trying to figure out the whole "crawling" thing, but mostly ends up in the push-up position instead. Blurry, but hilarious face. She usually likes to let out some "battle cries" while she's working on moving forward.
Oh, my drool queen...
She discovered her belly button for the first time this week.
This just cracked me up...she yelled as soon as she found the belly button. I'm not exactly sure why...
And here she is telling me to "stop" taking any more photos.
My mom sent me these cute little berets for the older two girls, but because of my older two's giant noggins, they don't fit super well, but this little one looks just DARLING in it... ;)
Here's another attempt at crawling. She actually made it a few "steps(?)" forward! Better finish up baby-proofing this house!
My happy baby...sporting the hand-me-down Dorthwoth onesie (Hi, Greenmen!).
Why do I love this profile of my chubby-cheeked baby?
School continues to go well, and the girls enjoy walking there, even as the temperature begins to drop. The girls have now learned a German song they can sing about going on a trip on a train!
Love. :)
Now, when it comes to food this week, I didn't make anything super exciting, but I did eat a delicious Dürüm that was HUMONGOUS. Yum.
And, I did have the girls make a no-bake cookie, which they enjoyed doing...but the recipe is so...unhealthy. It hurts my teeth to eat it, but it is quite tasty.
On to the non-cuteness-filled photos. This building was just beautiful with the changing of the leaves...
I just took a picture of this because there was a storm coming in and there was this crazy "break" in the sky...it literally looked like a crack across the sky - no rain yet, but just a few minutes later, it was a torrential downpour for about five minutes, and then nothing. Bizarre.
And last, but definitely not least (I couldn't get the photo to turn at two in the morning, so please forgive me), Tania the Terrific sent us a fabulous care package! (I love you!)
It is late, so I will say good night. Gute Nacht!
