Hailey dressed Max up. He looked so funny walking around the house with this big hat on.


Hailey made a "house" with the table and then piling a bunch of stuff around it and throwing a blanket on top. She crawled inside and peeked out her "window" at me.


Jack is always peeking over at Max from his crib. He pulls the bumper pad down to see. He does this as I'm tucking Max in and also first thing when he wakes up. I think sometimes Jack wakes Max up doing this cause he'll talk to him very loudly too.

While Hailey and Max were eating breakfast, Hailey started counting her Cheerios. Max was really watching and paying close attention as she counted. He said "You are good at dat, Haywee." Hailey then said "Thank you, Max." I worked all day on cleaning and getting stuff out of the house. I washed the counters, stove, fridge, windows, mirrors, and walls. I also cleaned up the rest of the clutter and got many of the toys out of the house. Hailey sure was a big help at keeping the house clean. She cleaned up everything she got out as soon as she was done playing with it. I didn't even have to ask her. And she also reminded Max to pick his toys up when he was done playing with them, and he actually listened to her. Then she went around picking up the dog toys and Jack's toys when they were done playing too. She sure is excited about selling the house and kept saying "We got to make sure our house is really clean so they want to buy it." Hailey and Max helped me dust and then wash all the windows and mirrors. While we were cleaning, Max said "You should get a bean cause you are bein nice, mommy." The house sure looked good when we were done. Bruce got home around 4:30 and took a few things out to the shed for me. Then I took the kids and went to McDonald's. The lady was supposed to show up at 5:00, but Bruce called me at 6:00 and said she hadn't showed up. He called her and she said she had forgotten and she would be over in a half an hour. I didn't want to sit a McDonald's that long so we decided to go visit grandpa. As soon as I mentioned that we were going to grandpa's house, the kids got their shoes and coats on and didn't even want to go back though the playplace one more time. Aunt Jodi was there visiting too. Grandpa had Hailey really giggling when he'd catch her and tickle her feet. Aunt Jodi and Hailey were rolling the ball back and forth with Jack in the middle. He'd crawl back and forth trying to get it. He was cracking up laughing when Hailey would quick reach in front of him to get it or whenever the ball rolled over his hands. It was so funny. He also was laughing really hard when Hailey was hiding behind the chair and would come out and say "Boo". Hailey stuck a toy in Jack's hood and he started shaking his head to get it out. We were all laughing at him so then he just started doing it to show off. He had a huge smile on his face as he did it and we were all laughing. He loves getting everyone's attention and making us laugh. We also got some good laughs watching the puppy chase her tail. She caught it a couple times and holds it as she turns around in circles. She also chased a ball around that was too big for her mouth. It[s funny cause she plays like a cat, using her feet to push it around. Grandpa enjoyed watching her and also got to hold her on his lap for awhile. She layed right next to him in the chair. Around 7:30, Bruce called and said the lady still didn't show up. (Too bad but at least our house is clean.) I stayed and visited for a little while longer and then headed home to get the kids to bed cause they were starting to get very grumpy. Hailey asked daddy if the lady liked the house and was disappointed when he told her she didn't come. She said "Then she lied." We read books and then Hailey asked if she could read the Bible story herself tonight. She picked the one about baby Jesus. She "read" it as she looked at the pictures. We've read many different versions of that story with all the different books and Bibles. She sure remembered alot. I don't think she missed a single detail. At one point she said "And then Mary wondered... That means she thinked." It was funny how she paused in the middle of the story to tell me what wondered means. When she finished she said "Didn't I do good? That's cause I can really read now." She said "Write that down in my baby book and on your blog. And write the name of the story too." She put a bookmark in and put the Bible down on the table. Then she said "Don't forget. It's on the big wood table and it's on the right side. Put that in your mind. " She then stared at me for a few seconds and said "Did you?" (Asking if I put it in my mind yet).
