Morning with the Little Ones

After all the big kids get off to school, Archy and Zaynzley take a bath and then get dressed for the day. After the bath they will watch a few shows while I clean.

Archy got a hold of Declan's kindle but the show that was on wooed his attention away.

There are two shows currently that completely absorb Zany, one is Sofia the First and the other is Sheriff Callie's Wild West.  

It is such a cute show and both Archy and Zany love it.

One Saturday morning, I woke up remembering a dream I had of getting rid of both Zany's pacifier and bottle.  I asked Eddy which should go first; he chose pacifier. So I immediately snipped the tip of every one I could find and showed Zany saying they were broken. She took it pretty well. In this picture she is not happy about it and is flapping her hands in protest. But she for the most part has done very well and I am so happy not to have to hunt down a pacifier at nap time.

About 10 am, I send them outside to play with a snack (usually 3 crackers or a banana) and they play while I still clean the house. I looked out the window and saw them playing this game called Incoming.  Zany lies somewhere like she is dead.

Archy throws this big ball at her and yells, "Incoming"

Sometimes he misses. They played this game for a good twenty minutes.

Then it is lunch time today it was PB&J sandwiches. Archy is an old man at heart and besides loving butterscotch candies he also loves herbal tea.  His all time favorite tea is Sugar Cookie Tea but you can only get it at Christmas, Honey Vanilla Chamomile is another favorite; now he is drinking Sleepytime Vanilla since we are out of the other two.  He takes his tea with 3 sugar cubes and half of it is milk. It is actually really good that way.

After lunch is Naptime, I read Archy 3 books and then he goes to sleep.

Zany likes to nap in the window seat with a bottle. After she is asleep I move her to her bed. Zany turns two soon and I am hoping to get rid of the bottle then. They are actually a lot of fun to spend the morning with but sometimes do look forward to naptime.  Today during naptime besides blogging I shall be folding six or more massive loads of laundry. Fun folding times!
