An(other) Hour in the Life

In an effort to document our lives every so often, I've opted to take another hour and post it through pictures. Here is what life is like at the Hart household on an average Monday during one late afternoon hour.

The babies start the hour off by watching Baby McDonald or "eee iii oooo" as Liam calls it.


Nico contemplates, long and hard, whether he wants to eat some of his gingerbread house or leave it how it is. (And by "long and hard," I mean loooooooooooooooooooooong and hard. He was there for at least 30 minutes before this picture was taken.)


Ellie does her homework. She is very studious.


Having finally decided to eat his Christmas tree brownie, Nico does so and then goes off to spin on the office chair and look at his Ninjago cards.


Liam saw me eating a Gogurt and wanted one.



Anders saw him eating a Gogurt and wanted one.


Nico saw them eating a Gogurt and wanted one.

Being a frozen Gogurt, it gave Nico "Brain Freeze." Nico is pounding his forehead to alleviate the "Brain Freeze."


Ellie is doing her homework.



Liam is sad because he wanted more Gogurt.


Having seen me put the Gogurt wrapper in the garbage, he tries to retrieve it, hoping (I suppose) that there is more yogurt in it. As I'm not to keen on the twins excavating things out of the garbage, I blockaded it. Liam is doing his best to move my 100 lb. tower of flour. It didn't go very far.


Anders was very sad and needy and clingy, and therefore ended up in the backpack. Shocking.


Ellie is no longer doing her homework, but is instead doing a workbook of homework type stuff, all of her own choosing. This is after having regaled me, on the way home from school, with how much she hates school because they always give so much homework. Hmmmm....


Giving up on the flour, Liam attacks the Kleenexes.


Utilizing the assets at hand, Nico is either surrendering, polishing his sword, or raising the Title of Liberty.


Fresh from the backpack and ready for action (and apparently left unsupervised for a moment), Anders is joined by Liam in his exploration of the dining room table.


Ellie does more extra work.


Whining again, Anders goes back in the backpack.


"No, no, Liam." I'm not sure he knows what "no" means.



She "haaaattteeess" homework.


Still there.


Green Monkey!


Shortly before Anders tried to put this cracker in my ear. He's crazed for ears.


Really?!

Mine!


Ellie, finally done with her homework and extra work, pulls Nico and Anders around on a blanket. They LOVE this activity.


Liam likes it too.
