Lyvi Before Bed

At the moment we put the other three kids to bed then take a breather and enjoy having Lyvi to ourselves for awhile. She likes to play with toys without interuption.

Practice her climbing skills without interuption.

Make one last mess without interuption

And giggle with Mommy without interuption.

We like having this time with her, too!

I certainly wish I took these pictures, but my dad took these. I would have loved to see the snow on the ground. We just got a bunch of ice and a handful of flakes falling from the sky in our neck of the woods. The building process is rolling along. Our house is on the left and the second floor. I can't wait for the kids to have that space to play. I'll have to make sure I don't fill it with a bunch of junk since the point of the place is to relax and escape all the chores I have during the week!

See all my teeth?

Lyvi is showing off every one of her six teeth in this pic! Everything she puts in her mouth goes through the teeth test as she nibbles, bites and grips with her teeth.

Two more bottom teeth are painfully making their way through, too. Thank goodness for teething tablets -- if only I could remember to carry them in my purse!
