Library Display

Ali got to display her Monster High Dolls at the library, right at the front where everyone walks by! Cool!

Experimenting

I love the way this kid's mind works! He spent the morning doing flight experiments.

Eli's Creations

Eli has come up with some cool creations lately. I Especially liked the man here on the upper right. I love how my kids can see and create outside the lines:)

Jake's Chairs

Jake has two rocking chairs just his size. He loves them, and I love seeing him rock!

Mermaid Paint

We went to our neighborhood party, and Ali waited forever to get this lovely mermaid painted on her arm. She freaked out when it got wet and smeared, and wouldn't move her arm all night, but she sure loved it.

Fast Sunday

On fast Sunday Logan was drawing pictures of food! Fasting is hard, and I am proud of my kids for learning how to do it!

Free Lovey!

Jake loves his Lovey. Lovey is supposed to stay in bed all day long, but sometimes he gets liberated. You can tell Jake knows he's being sneaky and a little naughty, and yet is so pleased with himself.

Crabby

A friend of ours gave us a new, bigger cage and suddenly Crabby is new and exciting again!

Campout

My kids are so lucky to have a wonderful dad who likes to do fun things with them. He took the older three camping a couple of weeks ago and they had a great time, in spite of the fact that it rained all night and in the morning -- in fact running around in his poncho was one of Eli's favorite parts!

After Kindergarten

You never know which Eli you're going to get after a long day of kindergarten.

Sad Eli:

Mad Eli:

Or hyper and happy Eli:

And usually, honestly, often we get all three. Mostly, though, he loves it and so do I!

Poor Jake

Poor Jake can tell when the other kids are playing behind closed doors, and the poor little guy feels so sad and left out, it kind of breaks my heart. On the other hand, I get that sometimes the older kids just want to play legos without Babyzilla messing things up. Oh, well, I guess he won't remember this, right? 

SMILE!
