Day 62

Sophia had strep throat and missed Green Eggs and Ham day and Wacky Wednesday at school. We did it at home though and the girls wore Ben's clothes and he wore their clothes. We also had ice cream for breakfast and green eggs and ham for dinner, along with other wacky things throughout the day.

Day 61

Ready for bed!
Ben is starting to give little smoochy kisses now! :)


Alberto made a battery powered humidier for our RV when we don't have a plug in and we need to run the heater (rather inventive, if you ask me!). So Sophia created this "heater" that doesn't need to be plugged in. You blow in the box and the plastic container cycles the air back onto you. Ahhhh...my little engineer. ;)

What baby boy with 2 older sisters doesn't love a purse? LOL.
