Potties, Popcorn Fest, Papa, and more!

Well, it's been quite a bit of time since my last post! Things have been busy as always around here! School is in full swing! Kindergarten is going pretty well for Carter, things are a TON harder than last year, and he is adjusting. The twins love school as always, and are having a blast. Cooper is enjoying being one of the older kids in the toddler class, and has been learning a ton. She still is sooooo chatty and keeps us all laughing, she really is a funny little 2 year old!

Speaking of Cooper, she is POTTY TRAINED! It's been a whirlwind month, but she's managed to do it! She still has an accident on occasion, but does really well at school and hasn't worn a diaper in about 3 weeks!!!

Papa came to visit for Popcorn Fest as he does every year! We did the parade with the kids and hung out with Papa for the weekend. The kids are officially on the birthday party circuit and seem to have at least 1 every weekend!

Jason and I managed to slip away for the weekend last week, it was great spending some time alone in Chicago. We took in some great restaurants, shopped, had some spa treatments, stayed in our favorite hotel, and enjoyed some overall R & R!

Little Miss Finley is simply the SWEETEST baby on the planet! She is sleeping from 7 to 7 on most nights and rarely cries. She eats, sleeps, coos and smiles at all of us. She LOVES being entertained by the "gang" and watches their every move!

First Day of School!

The 4 big kids started school yesterday! What a great moment (mostly for me, ha ha!!!)

Carter officially started kindergarten, he's attending the same school as they've all been going to, a Montessori program. He has 16 students in his class, and he loves it already.

The twins love their new "extended" class, and are had a great time being one of the "older" girls in their classes. Cooper of course came home telling me all about her day in the toddler program. When I asked her if she got to play with the toys there, her answer was, "Mommy, I don't like those toys, those are BABY toys there!" I thought oh goodness, she really does think she is 4!!!


Here are some updated pictures of Miss Finley! What a doll, she's still sleeping like a champ, she goes to bed around 8:30 or 9 and sleeps until 6:00!! Gotta love that! She's also growing like a weed, she's going to be another "rolly polly" Evans kid!!!!
