Tuesday, we had a wonderful gift.  All yesterday and the night before Matthew was really fussy and didn't want to sleep more than about an hour at a time.  Susan was exhausted and I had helped hold hm in the night so she could get some sleep so we both were tired and of course Matthew was too.  Well last night he slept 6 hours!!  We were all very grateful and felt much better except that Susan was uncomfortable because she was too full.  .  

Alice went to school and Robert and James stayed home.  Erin got up early and planned to take Robert out to lunch at McDonald's where they have free video games to play.  We were really happy that she hadn't had any recurrence of her kidney stone problem.

Robert spent the morning making snowflakes from the paper his mom folded.   Robert explaining how he made this awesome snowflake.

 At lunch time Susan took Robert and Erin to McDonald's and left them to eat and play.  He came home happy with all the things that he got to eat and to do.  And then took a rest.

When Alice got home Robert and Alice waited till Erin was ready to come out and show them some new presents.  She brought out some pirate finger puppets and some beautiful slap bracelets!  They loved them.

Then Alice and Erin played some duets on the piano!  Susan and I loved listening to our two children playing together.

 I liked seeing Alice's ankles crossed the whole time.  They had to keep switching places because sometimes they each had to play low and sometimes high, but the ankles were always crossed.  

I love all these beautiful smiles.  The one from James is very rare!  A great Robert smile and then he wanted to show how big he can open his mouth!

While the girls were playing the piano and Susan and James were swinging, Robert was playing with the pirate finger puppets.

While we were getting dinner ready we also filled the oatmeal box out of the big supply bin.  James needed to test it to see if it was good. 

In the evening Susan had a Relief Society meeting and took Matthew with her.  He came home fully awake.  And Susan was not well from a breast infection.  When Matthew went 6 hours without eating and gave us the sleep it caused Susan to become engorged and not do well.  Hopefully she will do better tomorrow.  It's never good when Mom gets sick!
