We had a visitor with a very funny name - at least as Elena called him! Things are crazy around here.. we have so much going on and the kids are bouncing off the walls! We went to see Jon at church for worship practice.. and the girls bounced off of those walls, too.
What's going on guys? How you doing today?
Kids have me up early and
Look at myself. I need a shave
kids doing bubbles in the house
Lately, I just am like do whatever you want. I don't care. I'm not in the mood. I
Mean just don't kill yourselves
blow bubbles in the house
Need to get away from my computer though. That's my livelihood
Making my own iced coffee here folks
And it's delicious
So pour it into this glass with ice and some cream
And it's yum-yum
I'm pretty happy with it. It's better than some places. I go to even
whoa
Anyways, how do you like your coffee? You like your iced coffee? You like lattes?
You like just black coffee. You can't drink it black people. I have friends that drink it black. I'm like
It has to be like really good coffee
Or really bad coffee. I'm not sure I've had coffee. I'm like all this comes really good. It may just be really bad
That's why I could drink it black. I'm not sure
I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any means
Hey, what are you doing?
Yes, I don't think so we haven't watched a movie in the mornings or in the days
Probably four or five days now
It's been days that you've been going better for Danielle and for me when I'm home, too
They seem to be like playing nicer together not fighting as much
So we've kind of been just like no TV in the morning
I don't know if Danielle has been putting any on in the day or not
But we have had some like right before dinner like getting dinner ready watch a show or two
And that ends up being okay
but it's really the
first thing in the morning kind of
Dinner or first thing in the morning kind of TV thing that doesn't seem to work
Tyler's been getting flies that come in our house and feeding them to Francis. I'm just saying
And she's been playing this song all morning long
Anyways Elena who's outside?
Now here look at me who's outside
Spider-man
I thought you said it was the butter man
Guys we're spraying for pests right now and
Elena's like
Elena's like the butter man the butter man outside
I thought she was saying bugger man, but she's not
You're cute
Y'all look cute
Well today
Thank You Tyler sweet
They've been even more sweet and like sharing and stuff too
And now Karina if I'm like, okay, I gotta make dinner we've had a long day and they're just like
Then I will put on a movie like at the very end of the day right by dinnertime, but
But
Really since we have kind of stopped watching TV during the day
They've been getting along a lot better like a lot better
It's not like they watched it all day, but we definitely were watching it too much. So now they kind of will watch
So now they kind of watch it maybe every couple of days
They'll just watch one movie or something or you know in the car like they can still watch it when we're in the car
But yeah, it's like they play together. Now. They find things to do. They still fight a little they still make a lot more messes
this way
But overall I think they're happier so if you haven't tried it try it try to turn the TV off and just see like what your
kids learning to
Come up with things to do on their own. Oh, look, there he is. You can't see there. Who's that Elena?
Our children are catching flies
That's so funny. Okay. So anyway
So
So our bug guy he said
John went out back and he was like, sorry. It's kind of a mess out here. We got good stuff everywhere
It's like our backyards and he said no, man. It's your world. I'm just killing bugs
There's like it's your world we're just killing bugs
Come on come on come get french fries Tyler in here in here. All right this way. I'll get her. Nope. Watch her fingers
Yeah, I see that let's get in here
Okay, so we are if you can see we're in our green room at church
We are getting ready to end the battery light just blink. I just saw that so it could be a very short vlog
I'm so sorry about that. It's been crazy. Hold on, baby
So we are
We're at church right now John has worship practice. Oh my goodness. You were gonna smash your fingers, please stop
Jude don't do that
Okay, let's get some french fries we brought some french fries from Burger King
They had some veggie burgers that they've already eaten here, buddy. Here's some fries
I'm trying
Okay, we're gonna get some fries
Take three. Let's start over things got crazy. I'm sorry. I needed two hands
So
Anyway back to I was saying we're at the church John has worship practice tonight
So that's what we're here for the kids are as you can see
I'm trying to keep them occupied here Tyler
Here Elena
Do you want some french fries, too?
It's really hard to do this like it's hard to vlog with one hand and that's what I'm doing right now
Just one hand I'm finding it a little bit challenging
so
Not only not vlog with one hand. I'm sorry. It's hard to do this while I'm vlogging is what I'm saying
I will get you some lemonade. Oh, I found this sweet lemonade on Amazon. I love Amazon
I don't know about you guys. We have a prime membership and I just used it for all kinds of things
But here it is. I
Don't know where they carry it in stores. I haven't looked that far yet
But on Amazon leaf and love organic zero sugar organic lemonade it is sweetened with stevia
So it literally has no sugar no artificial sweeteners
I'm gonna be honest with y'all it tastes a little bit like lemon juice
with
Maybe an aftertaste of stevia. So it's not really sweet and
The kids like it it's like a treat for them, so I'm glad to have fun that because every juice box like even like them
Even the juice boxes that we've seen
Minute made and stuff like food dying on this crazy
Anyway, so yeah leaf and love awesome Elena, where'd you go?
Girls come eat your fries, then we can go see daddy when we're all done eating and everything we can go in and see daddy
Wait, right
Right
Like I said, it's been crazy here, but we're all surviving still. It's been a good day overall
Jude has been wild. I know you guys have seen her you can see her now
She's been a wild child for probably this past four days
She's not sleeping at night and then she'll take a really early nap and then she will bounce off the walls
From about 1 until 7 p.m.
She hasn't been eating either so I'm my guess is that she's getting her to your molars
You did not scare me I saw you out the door
There's like a minute waiting for you to point the camera back to yourself and then she walked through
Anyway, so yeah, I think you might be teething because she's not really eating well. No, she's not sleeping
Good gracious girls, right?
This is a little bit of how things go on the daily basis when we're supposed to be doing something like eating dinner or whatever
And usually one child's doing that while walking and then two are usually doing some just kidding
We have this other old vlog camera
We've now dubbed this the kid vlog camera for them to use so we're back the battery and the other one died
I'm sure you guessed that
What do you have to say?
What are you gonna say?
Thank you Ipads

Thank you, but what are you doing with your face?
