Aaron got to fly to Utah for his little brother's wedding to Linnea Stephenson this weekend, so I'm playing solo until Sunday night. And I'm counting the hours til we see him again! In the mean time, I'm going to stop and watch these silly kids, even if I don't take pictures of all their achievements this week.
Evelyn made her own lunch, unsupervised (because I was getting Carson cleaned up for lunch). She made an extra to share with her sister, too! Evie has also been BIG into reading. She can read lots of easy books that we have around the house, so we checked some harder ones out from the library and I'm finding out that she really loves to read. Naturally, she gets frustrated when she doesn't read a word right or doesn't understand the word, so I make sure she takes breaks. She also really likes to play on the PBS website.
Lizzie has been having problems with listening to her body. She'll refuse to eat, then be starving in between meals. Or wait until the absolute last moment to try to dash for the bathroom, resulting in accidents and extra laundry. She, like her sister, loves ants. She'll pick one up and let it run all over her arms and shoulders, shivering at the tickles. As always, she needs closeness. Lizzie will snuggle without any request given.
Carson is going through a rough rash stage. For the last couple days, I cannot seem to get a diaper rash to go away, so it makes for a sad boy sometimes. But he is babbling a LOT and I get whole paragraphs of "buh-dah-an-suh-shhh-ba-woah!" I miss a recent stage when he would nod emphatically to any question asked of him - now he shakes his head 'no'. Carson is still very much my snuggly boy and will accept any offer from me to carry him.
I, myeslf, am finding it not 'hard' to have Aaron gone. Just 'long'. I'll take advantage of it a little to maybe make his birthday present. :) Also I decided to try zipper flower hair clips - they turned out so very cute! Must do them again with different colored zippers. (I may even take pictures of them...) Tomorrow is sure to be better, since the kids' cousins are coming over, with Aunt Coco and Grampa. (I may even take pictures of them...I mean all five grandkids. Sounds like I need to get out the camera and get to work! :))

I'd love to see pictures of the zipper hair clips! I've never heard of them.
Sooo nice to be getting that work done on your house! Hope your carpenter can stay injury free though, and his wife too! Sounds like they have had a rough couple of days.
Good luck with Aaron being gone! I'm sure you will have fun. When Brooks was gone on his internship I hated how long the says were. Without daddy coming home at night there is nothing to break up the day!
I meant "days", not "says".
