The girls went to their first sleepover Friday night. It was at a friend's house from gymnastics whose Mom kindly invited Naia as well. They were both very excited! When we got there Naia was pulling all of the girls arms wanting them to play with her, talking to everyone, so happy. However, I do not believe any of the other girls were as excited about her. She just turned 5 and they are older. She did not notice the coldness thankfully. As for Eaden, her two gymnastics friends who she normally is buddy buddy with were not speaking to her. I don't get it! Eaden is so sweet, sometimes quiet, but never says a mean word (to her friends, this doesn't go for siblings). I'm not sure why the girls were not speaking to Eaden, but when I asked after the party she said "they were just talking to each other." She also mentioned that the girl who was having the party did not want Naia to come. I don't know. I just hate that 6 and 7 year old girls act this way. My girls do not do this! Maybe because they are homeschooled they appreciate every friend they can get. I'm not sure.

I'm good friends with both girls' parents by the way and both girls are usually very nice...

Anyway, Eaden was not too worried about it so I kind of just let it slide. I told her to be herself and if people want to be her friend they will. If they don't oh well. Be kind to everyone no matter what. Even if they are not kind to you. She just said "yeah I know Mom."

After the sleepover we went to Pioneer Day.








 I caught this boy checking his cell phone. 

Me - "What's that!?"
Boy - "I don't know what you're talking about."
Me - "I don't think you're supposed to be checking your cell phone."
Boy - "What's a cell phone?"
Nice save.






Another big event happened over the weekend. My sister had her 2nd baby and first son! However, I do not have very many good pics so I will wait to post. His name is Weston and he looks just like his sister.

Trouble

  We went to Storytime at the library and made some squirrel treats.




 We had a cool front and it is always exciting for the kids to get bundled up for the first time. It was about 50 degrees. They got warm after a bit.






 For a while now Mirek has been getting into everything. He drags chairs around the house to climb up on counters, tables, desks, bookshelves, etc. I took all of the chairs away and he started to pull out pots and pans to stand on.

Here is Naia sitting on her desk because she has no chair.


Eaden prefers to stand.


 Taven sits and see what happens!


I am quite worried about our Christmas tree this year. I have a feeling there will only be ornaments at the very top and it might come crashing down more than a few times...

Fusobacterium Nucleatum


Eaden was drawing and labeling different species of bacteria from her "Big Book of Everything" when she came to Fusobacterium Nucleatum. I read to her that "this species makes its home in the human mouth and forms a major component of plaque. It can also cause premature birth." She screams "AHHHH!" and runs to brush her teeth.
