Blowing a dandelion! Spread the weeds please!
Watching big brother work.
We could raise grass…but I think I’d miss the fun of seeing what the kids create with our dirt (sand actually).
The boys’ all shared one side of the easel.
Josiah in a messless outfit…wash and wear!
He took this painting thing very seriously.
Ta Da! They titled it, “Spiderman’s Clubhouse.”
The artist getting her inspiration.
Concentrating on each brushstroke.
Working AND posing for pictures….yes, folks, she’s that good!
And Zoe’s creation. I forgot to ask her the title.
This week, we pulled it out and defrosted it and made cinnamon rolls. Now, I could’ve made the healthy low sugar ones with honey…but I didn’t. Celebrating the fact that I have not gained over 50 pounds this pregnancy (not even close), I decided we’d make the good ol’ not good for you ones. I had help too!
Tracy, I thought you’d enjoy seeing what we came up with! They were actually quite large and I should have split the dough to make them smaller…but this was trial and error for me.
The end results were just as yummy and there are now 1 1/2 dozen sitting in the freezer waiting to be thawed, iced and eaten sometime this month, I’m sure.
Awaiting movie night on Friday!
First, we play with the pans and stick them on our head.
Note to self: do not mix food coloring and oobleck wtih your hand…you get a food colored hand…in this case, green!
Oooo…oobleck
I’m telling ya’ll…this is a boys activity if ever there was one…lots of messy fun!
I woke up in a bad mood…there, I admitted it. Emotional…tired…all that fun pregnant stuff.
Anyway, after I finished breakfast, I was putting away dishes. The kids were finishing up at the table and Liam bursts out the hymn we learned last month.
“Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer precious Lord to the cross where Thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer to Thy precious bleeding side.”
Umm, thanks God for the sweet reminder of what it’s all about. We’re now launched in full praise God mode this morning!
On Friday, I wanted to get out of the house, so right after lunch I decided we would venture out…to Wal-Mart…to purchase groceries and new carseats for Josiah and Liam. Their current car seats expire this year, and so before Ceili Rain came, we decided to purchase them.
I was trying to get the kids to rush through lunch so we could go and here is the conversation that ensued.
Me: Hurry up and eat so we can get your new car seat Liam. Are you excited about a new car seat?
Liam: Yes sir. (Okay, I’m working on ma’am still but at least he’s using some kind of form of respect.)
Zoe (very enthusiastically): Oh Liam you’re going to get a new car seat and it’s going to have cupholders! Aren’t you excited??
Okay, so the story is Aunt Yaya loves to have cupholders in the car. When she purchased her minivan, the first thing she told me was that it had eleven cupholders.
So there, Aunt Yaya…Zoe (and the rest of the crew) are falling into your footsteps and love for cupholders!!
While eating breakfast on Monday, Mark was buttering toast for Liam and putting some jelly on it.
Liam: The butter’s moving! I’m just kidding. Butter doesn’t move…only crabs!
Heard at lunch today…
Liam: Crocodiles won’t bite you. Dey just need a wittle love. That’s all.
