Update


We got take out at one of our favorite restaurants.  It is on the bottom floor of this building.  It honestly wasn't the same.  Good, but a little cold by the time we got home to eat it.  It was supposed to be our date night so we sat outside and ate but the kids kept coming and trying to talk to us and Beatrix needed to be out with us trying to sit on my lap and eat my food.  It will be nice when we can go out and actually go somewhere again.
 I spend a lot of time with Beatrix on the floor.  If I ever sit on the couch she wants me to hold her.  That lasts for about five seconds and then she starts crawling all over the edge of the couch.  It is terrifying because she has fallen off a few times before and has no regard for the edge.  If I sit on a chair and the table she will not stop trying to climb on the table and we have a similar situation.  So I've learned to just sit or lay on the floor.
 The kids all had fun with their mattresses on the ground for a few days.
 Calista's mood swings can be dramatic.
Literally five minutes later.  She was bawling because she wanted to do her "math."  She sees all her older siblings doing their schoolwork and math.  So one time when Bob was here he put her on the computer and gave her a pink font on a google doc and told her it was her math.  She happily hit the keys for a few minutes.  I couldn't produce the exact right font or color and she was pretty mad about the whole thing.
And this next one was not the same day.  But it was pretty cute.  She keeps posing with her baby and asking me to take pictures.
The kids have opened up shops for the family.  They do massage and also hair.  Bob and I pay them a penny a minute (to be shared between two people).
They love it and the massages are really hilarious.  Most of the kids are so soft you can barely feel them, but Leon pushes so hard.  It feels like some sort of painful CPR on my back.
I miss social interaction so much!  But I also really love staying home and not running/driving everyone around everywhere.
