New Home for Our Computer

We bought a corner hutch (or armoire, depending on how awesome you want to be) so we could get our computer out of our bedroom.

We saw this online and snatched it up! It has a distressed look that we like, but it doesn't look great in pictures.

It will be nice to have the computer out of our. Hopefully we can keep the hutch organized and this clean all the time.

Supposedly, the hutch was made in Mexico.

We still need to figure out a chair situation. Right now we are just using a kitchen table chair, which isn't great, but we don't really want a big office chair in that room.

Holding the baby

Cali really loves to help out with Eloise, and it is so nice. Eloise loved the attention she gets from her siblings.

Funny Sayings by Cali

Cali keeps saying funny things and I forget them too quickly. I need to record them somewhere.
1. Cali said to Katya, "You don't have to change your undies to change the world!" Supposedly it is from Shrek. (It's not!)
2. Cali told Staci she could just mash up some bread for Eloise to eat with dinner. Staci said she couldn't eat bread, she only eats fruits and veggies. So Cali exclaimed, "Mom, she's an herbivore!"
3. Staci was cleaning off the 20 books and stuffed animals and toys that Cali keeps stored on her bed. She asked Staci where they all went and then said, "Hey! I was reading those!" and "I need all those toys on my bed."

Feeding the Baby

Tenzing insisted that he feed Eloise dinner tonight. Staci was not allowed to help him.

He loves that little girl.

The Beginning of the Buzz

We buzzed T's hair for the first time today. He didn't mind it. At all. I think he enjoyed it. He got down and went right back to playing with his cars.

Reading to Eloise

Katya didn't want Eloise to take a nap without being read to, so she turned her car seat to the couch and pulled out the children's songbook and started singing to her.
