A fun afternoon of dress-up, raiding Mommy and Daddy's closet!

 Discovering some new decorations around the house...

BUSY and INDEPENDENT...these two words describe our Eliza.  She loves to be involved in just about everything, and especially loves to help me in the kitchen.  It doesn't surprise me anymore when she goes into the kitchen and gets herself a piece of bread, toasts it, butters it, and sits down to have a snack!  She also will get out the milk or juice and pour herself a glass.  I guess she learned very early that if you want something done quickly around here, you had better learn to do it yourself!

Daddy and Hannah had been talking about going on a date to get some soccer socks this weekend.  Hannah has had shin guards since Clara started playing soccer, but wanted real soccer socks, too!  She ran to get ready to go this morning, and came back dressed like this!  She is just too cute, and was SO excited to come back home wearing new BLUE soccer socks with her shin guards and with a shiny new soccer ball, which she quickly wrote her name on! 

 Daddy actually had special time with each of the four today.  Hannah had her date for soccer socks, Eliza went out with Daddy and got candy, Clara and Daddy went to her soccer game this afternoon (while the rest of us stayed home for naps and to avoid the rain!), and then Isaiah got some time watching football on the couch tonight after the girls were in bed!  Mommy got her time last night when we had a date for a swing dancing lesson :)  We're blessed that he works so hard to make each one of us feel special.....I know it's not easy when there are so many of us!! :)
