One hour of our lives...

I thought I would try to document one hour of our lives, so you all could see what happens on an average afternoon. (Is this considered scraping the bottom of the blog barrel?) Anyway, every few minutes I went around and took pictures of what everyone was doing. Here is the result:

In the beginning...

Anders slept.


Liam, however, is waiting on the couch and ready for excitement. Ellie's hands are there to make sure he doesn't fall off.


Ellie then ran off to get her school library book out of her backpack.


Nico is playing with his Lego castle.


Getting bored of the couch, Liam now only wants to be held. He therefore finds himself relegated to the backpack.


I have grand plans of cleaning up all this.


Ellie has commenced her science projects including this delight involving water, lots and lots of cornstarch, and food coloring.


Nico is playing with his Lego castle.


Out of the backpack, Liam now tries to eat the camera.


The Lego men defend the castle.


Ellie is dispatched to get Anders who is now awake. She puts him in the highchair and gives him toys.



Nico, now done with Legos, calls his good friend Grace to tell her he completed Steamworks Island on Poptropica.com. Grace was not home.


Liam and Anders get their daily bottle.



Disappointed that Grace was not home, Nico turns to George and Martha for solace.


Ellie does her homework.


Exhausted, Liam falls asleep eating, and is simply left in his bouncy chair.


Anders, having eaten, then spits up all over his clothes. As a result, he is left with nothing but his diaper and his pointy hair.



He loves it.


I did not get the kitchen clean.
