This is how my week has been
Poor Amelie has an ear infection. She's finally feeling a little better. Isn't this video so sad?

Secret Sleeper
We couldn't find buddy again. He snuck away by himself to get some shut eye:

Big Boy Tie!
Buddy had to wear a big boy tie like daddy today! Paul put one of his ties on him. I think I will have to buy him some little boy ties!

Beautiful Day!
I'm sure everyone is outside today enjoying this beautiful weather we are having. Everyone except me. I'm stuck at home, sick, with sick kids, having a pity party for myself! Boo hoo!

Happy Birthday!
Well it's not really anyone's birthday, but Abbi has really been into wrapping presents lately for everyone. She wrapped this ball for buddy all by herself!
Buddy was so excited to get a present!

Big boy
Buddy is in a big boy now. He started sleeping in a big boy bed and sometimes giving up naps...
Sometimes!
And he's taken up potty training too...

Spontaneous
My sister Brandi and I took an incredibly spontaneous trip to San Francisco on Wednesday. We took the kids to play at golden gate park, which is awesome! We go everytime we make a trip to the city. And the weather was actually favorable! The kids found a pet worm. Jeff, jack and carter would not touch it, but kami and abbi were all over that! We had to talk kami into finding it a good home in the dirt rather than the sand in which it came from.
On our way to eat we drove down Lombard street. That was a little scary in a Honda pilot!
Then out to the boudin factory for bread bowls. It's always comical to me when we take our kids to restaurants in San Francisco. The people always seem a little less family-friendly! But we made it through dinner with relatively few melt downs, poopy diapers, and disapproving glances! I think this is the only picture we got with all the kids in it. They were looking at all the bread animals in the window. How cute.
Then we made the kids walk .6 miles up hill to Ghirardelli square. Which was apparently torture! I had to pretty much remind jack to keep walking every second! But, we got our cupcakes and chocolate and then everyone was happy!
Then while walking back (at least it was down hill) we ran into a magician. That really made the kids' night.
Overall I think we had a great time!

Reaching out and grabbing on...
Amelie has recently added grabbing things to her list of skills!

A Spanish Interpretation by Jackson
We like our children to be culturally aware. Occasionally we read them books in Spanish or French. After reading them a book in Spanish, this is what Jack did:
