I am starting to slowly come to life - but that is another post in and of itself.
Benjamin went with band to the annual Sandy Lake Band competition. They picked music a little more advanced than usual for a sixth grade beginning band and...
They nailed it! I got goosebumps while listening.
After the performance we played:
One woman was quite smitten with Cora's hair and talked to me for bit about a show she watched a show that said less than 2% of the world has red hair and some estimate that within a few generations there won't be any more... (no accuracy checks there)
not tall enough :(
even though the place was crawling with sixth graders Cora had the place to herself for the kiddie rides. Cute place but the prospect of taking all seven of us would cost waaaaaaaaaay too much for any amount of fun worth the drive out there. We'll stick with six flags
Look at big brother holding his little sister's hand to the mini coaster
riding the train (our favorite)
He didn't want to get off
Awards time - Rogers was rated 1st division by every single judge !!!
Not to be biased or anything but man , Is he a good looking kid!!
These two gangsters were rather grumpy about not getting to go to Sandy lake!
The next day Dad took Benjamin and Ella to see the Hunger Games, So I took the three littles to Chuck E Cheese. - It felt strange to be out of the house with no other adult help (I've been homebound for three months+ now, and to only have three kids - it felt easy and strange.
PJ is finally, finally walking 100% of the time. Every single other kiddo of mine walked at some point in their 15th month. Some on the first day some on the last but always in/around that month. Not PJ - he totally could, and would walk here and there but was perfectly content with crawling. He sloooowly transitioned over three months to walking all the time. He HATES falling, I watch 9 month old walkers who just wobble till they fall or walk right into a wall and then get back up again. Not my kids. Timid is the word.
But to finally buy big boy shoes for him was kind of bittersweet.
babies grow so fast!
Look at those skinny little legs though, he may have been the biggest at birth but he has been my teeny tiny little one compared to all the others, actually in the size clothes that match his age - that has NEVER happened before. (Even though he still breastfeeds all the time!)
He was so serious on every ride it was hard to know if he was having fun or not until you tried to take him off then he threw a fit! (Cora here was actually not having fun - she liked chilling on the Barney truck - nice and calm)
Maiya and PJ are tight. She always goes to him when she gets home. Gives him piggy back rides all the time and doesn't understand why he can't hang out in the front yard with just her. Its so sweet.

Funny, I overheard some co-eds saying the same things about red head exctinction in a few generations. But we are doing our best to keep them alive:)
