Entertainment

There's never a dull moment when you have 5 kids under 5 in one house.  Beth and I have wondered if we'll look back at this time and think we were absolutely crazy.  For now, it's what we know and we're enjoying the moments of our kids playing together.

We've become obsessed with the clearance bin at Food Lion and have been making daily "adventure" trips with the kids to see what we can find.  We've stocked up on things like Gerber Graduate meals, seasonings, pasta, dried fruit and chocolate...all for $0.29!  One day we found a Firecracker chocolate bar, with chipotle peppers, salt and pop rocks.  We thought it would be funny to see the kids' reactions:



Katherine and Alison have been having lots of fun playing together.  They love doing crafts, watching Tinkerbell, pretending to be doctor's and riding bikes.

Oh my Maggie Moo.  She is a crack up.  She "reads" stories and sings songs like no other toddler I know.  She says multiple times a day, "Hey Aunt Jen!  YOU HAVE A BABY IN YOUR BELLY!!!"
The Lord definitely knew Eli needed a brother.  While him and Jonathan often play trains, most of the time he's found wearing Alison's pink crocs and reading princess books.

I couldn't tell but in the video it looked like Eliot ended up not liking the chocolate. True? What a hoot :-)

no, he spit it all over the couch. it actually was really spicy, but Jonathan and Katherine actually liked it. Alison did her classic, "I'm pretending to like this to be polite" thing.
