Pajama & Waffle Day

Once or twice a month, the kids have a special theme day at school. Today was "Pajama & Waffle Day". The kids got to wear pajamas to school and enjoy a special waffle lunch (which means I didn't have to pack a lunch - bonus!). Cora was super excited to wear her 'Chris-jammies' (aka, Christmas jammies). Grandma and Grandpa got all the grandkids matching snowman pajamas for Christmas, and Cora is obsessed with them. Perhaps because they are the only pj's she owns that are not footie pajamas :) She wore them to bed the night she got them, and when she woke in the morning, she looked down and exclaimed, "My TOES!"  Poor girl never has bare piggies.

Jonah actually had a different pair of pajamas picked out to wear (ones with a car on them, so that he could ZOOM around everywhere...obviously), but when he saw what Cora was wearing, he decided he wanted to wear Christmas jammies, too.

It was my first time going out with all three kids...and I'd say it was a success. We weren't even late!

Today was Brandon's first full day back at work. It worked out nicely that I got to drop off the kids for 5 hours :)  Esther and I made a Target run, then enjoyed a little quiet at home. She has pretty much been sleeping all day. We are still working on being awake during the day....and sleeping at night. For the past several nights, bedtime has been a 3-4 hour process, which culminates in Esther finally going down around midnight or 1....but then she sleeps for 4-5 hours in a row. We're working on it

Here's a couple Esther pictures. It's so dark in our house on a sunny day, and it's been so grey and cloudy, it's hard to get decent pictures.

She has Cora's red coloring, but I see a bit of both kids in her, now. We are loving all the baby snuggles and getting to know Esther :)
