Grace, in Spanish?

Before we eat we always say a little prayer. We started when Lilly went to nursery school and she and her class would say a prayer before lunch. She would come home and want to say it before dinner too but we didn’t know all the words  to her school one so we started saying the one I grew up saying.
It goes:
Bless us oh Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

I have no idea where this came from, but Lilly was in the kitchen coloring one afternoon. She came into the living room and told me she knew how to say grace  in Spanish. I was really curios because it came out of no where and Steven and I don’t speak Spanish.  Sure enough she had something to share so I asked her to say it. Before I died laughing, I asked to say it on camera so we could share with Daddy and the grandparents.
ENJOY! The password is Spanish.

Ruby eating...

Ruby loves to eat! She doesn't eat a lot but she truly enjoys when it is time to eat. In this video I fed her some squash and Steven wanted her to try some mashed potatoes. She wasn't a big fan of the potatoes so when we weren't looking she was licking squash off her bib, but she kept stopping when she saw us looking. The password is ruby.

Who you gonna call?

-Steven and I have been trying to find movies that we liked when we were little so we can share them with the girls. I think it has been a complete success, ongoing of course (there are so many more we are trying to find). So far they have watched Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Wizard of Oz. They seriously loved these movies! Just watch the video, they just finished watching Ghostbusters and the credits are playing with the theme song. Even Ruby enjoyed the music :) The password for these is dance.

- Sadie has decided that any clothing item that can twirl when she twirls is called a "wiggle dress, shorts, shirt, skirt". She loves these, as does Lilly, so much that they only want to wear dresses and skirts. The only problem is the fits they trow when they don not have any clean wiggle clothes. It really is cute and I finally got a video of Sadie demonstrating what a "wiggle dress" really is.

These girls are too funny.

-And Miss Ruby has been miserable. She is teething, so far she has gotten 2 in 2 days, her eczema has flared up really bad, and she is super tired. Her skin is so bad that she is constantly trying to scratch it and she has bloodied herself more than once. Luckily we were able to get her in to the pediatrician this morning and her gave her some more Benadryl-like medicine. The only downside is she wants to sleep all day while taking it (one of the side effects), but her sisters don't like to listen and keep their voices down so it has been hard for her. Hopefully she starts to feel better soon.
- The big girls have had random (this might be TMI) boughts of diarrhea lately. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. They don't seem to have stomach aches, more unsettled stomachs, and it is not like it would be if they were really sick. The pediatrician thinks it is just "toddler diarrhea" and that we need to just watch them. So far they are in pretty good moods but still have the tummy issues. Lately we have been just hanging out inside, the weather is warm and nice but with them not feeling 100% I don't want to risk another heat stroke.

We are hoping soon we will all feel 100% and have our passports back so we can FINALLY plan a trip back home. I haven't been in the states since the day I flew out to England and the girls have never been, so this trip is LONG overdue!

Now off to get the girls to bed. The Wizard of Oz is almost over so bed time is very near! Goodnight all!

Jumperoo Fun!

Seriously?!?!?! When did this baby get so big? She has done so many new things her in 5 month we are losing track of it all. She has been rolling from tummy to back, trying to go back to tummy, laughing, talking up a storm, eating solid foods, playing with her toys, and jumping in her jumperoo. Here is a video of her playing in it! The password is jump.
