Almost Wordless Wednesday
I promise, we haven't fallen off the face of the Earth, but life has been even busier than normal. I'm back in class. Adia's going to preschool. The twins spend the mornings with Gramma and Papa. We're buying a house, which means packing and moving. Daddy got promoted. Yeah, I never do one thing at a time, that would be much too easy.

1st Day of Preschool
Adia's first day of preschool was today. She couldn't wait to get out of the house. Last night she told me she wanted to wear something pretty and purple so I gave her 2 choices, she picked this one. I think her entire wardrobe is mostly purple.
She was more than ready to be at school. She walked into her classroom, her teachers gave her her name tag and she immediately sat down. I said goodbye, gave her a kiss and she waved me away. Little Miss Independent, which is exactly how I wanted her to be.
When I came back to pick her up, I peeked in the window to see how she was doing. she was helping clean up. She pushed in all the chairs, but when she saw that the teacher was stacking them, she brought the chairs to her instead. They then had to sit in a circle (criss cross applesauce!) when the parents came in.
Adia smiled and gave me a big hug. She told me they drew pictures, colored caterpillars, ran in the soccer field and that she used the potty twice. She got on the BIG potty and stood on the stool to wash her hands, but her teacher had to help her reach the soap. She can't wait to go back on Wednesday.
We ran a couple errands before coming home. Mira was passed out on the living room floor and Leia was wandering around, visibly tired. Leia wouldn't let me hold her so she ended up crying herself to sleep in the bedroom while I moved Mira to her room. Adia's now vegging. She ate lunch too. Little did she know she had a sunbutter sandwich for a snack. She still thinks it was peanut butter.

OMSI
We drove to Portland yesterday so we could take Adia to OMSI. We've never taken her before and thought she might enjoy the planetarium. She stayed awake the whole way there and the twins arrived happy and rested. And hungry.
After the restrooms, our first stop was the astronaut. Adia actually let me take some pictures. She was so funny.
Adia loved the T-rex and playing in the water to make rivers, dams and lakes. She became fascinated with the infared camera and didn't want to leave. It was soon time for the planetarium show. Adia went with Daddy while I watched the twins. I fed them some lunch and walked them around. During that time, Mira reached over, grabbed Leia's hand and bit down.
Adia absolutely LOVED the planetarium. She said it was loud and Daddy said she spent the show with her hands over her ears, but she also understood what was happening. She asked him questions about the things she saw too. We definitely want to take her to the one in town now.
We headed to the turbine room after. Adia didn't want to leave the black hole table. It was a lot of fun, but then she saw the rockets. We took turns using water and air pressure to blast the bottles to the ceiling. The twins liked watching that too, but it was the earthquake simulator that they really loved. Adia didn't want to get out of it and the twins kept smiling and squealing.
The girls all had the most fun at the shipping crate simulator. Mira and Adia helped load the crane while Daddy moved it. Then I would help unload while Leia did some more crane work. They were giggling, laughing and having a blast. None of them wanted to leave even though we were all getting tired.
We met up with Gramma, Papa, Eck, Great Gramma, Great Uncle David, Great Uncle Dave and Great Aunt Cindy. Adia acted shy, but I knew she was happy to see everyone. The twins were starving so we went to the Spaghetti Factory. Big mistake. The twins lost it. Adia was awesome though. She ate her food, stayed in her seat, played games with Eck and Daddy. The twins were terrors though. Mira insisted feeding herself applesauce while sitting in Daddy's lap. That resulted in Daddy being bathed in applesauce. Then it was spaghetti time. Once again, a disaster. Leia started handing me handfuls. She did eat some though. Mira attempted to eat her's with a spoon and fork, but ended up with a spoon in one hand and spaghetti in the other. Adia used a fork almost the entire time though! I was so proud of her. She did wonderfully.
We were all exhausted by the time dinner was over. We changed the girls in the parking lot and they were all asleep within 15 minutes. I just wish the twins would have stayed asleep. They woke up during the transfer when we got home and wouldn't go back to sleep. I ended up waking up on the couch with Mira around 12:30a. I finally was able to lay her down, but then I had problems going back to sleep. Adia climbing into bed with us around 3 and then Mira was up for the day at 6:30a. It was one rough night for sure.
