So Proud of Herself!

At our house Olivia has I serious case of the “Me-Do-It’s.”  I have to admit it is often very entertaining.  Thanks Olivia for providing a little comical relief in our lives!

Here she is putting on her pajamas all by herself.  She may have both feet in the same leg hole, the top on backwards and one sleeve inside out but I think she did a great job.

A Work in Progress is Making Progress!

We’ve have been working on our storage room for quite a while.  Last winter Ken put up the shelves for us and then we painted them.  There are two walls with no shelves and I wanted to try a striped wall so it’s just been sitting there for months waiting for us to get around to it.  I finally decided to just do it (as a surprise, Andrew doesn’t know I’ve been working on it.)

The trickiest part… These kids wanted to help, so I had to find ways to let them without making too much mess.  They only started painting the wrong stripe once.

I love how it turned out!

On a side note, these two did really good while I was painting.  I just love it when they play well together.

Happy Birthday Joshua!

I can’t believe this handsome kid is already 4!

He is such a good big brother.  He loves learning about everything, especially arctic animals. He would sit and let you read  books to him all day long. I often find him with handfuls of Raisin Bran in the pantry.  He likes to eat fruit, and his favorite is apples. We ended up having 2 parties for him, one with the Cleggs on Monday and one with my family and his friends on Friday.

Party #1

Joshua spent all morning building Lego decorations.

This was supposed to be a relay race, but with the 2 year olds participating, we just ended up giving everyone a spoon and letting them go at it simultaneously.  They had fun, and that’s the important thing.

Happy Birthday Bud!  We love you!

Grandpa’s Helpers…

My Dad is adding a woodshop on the side of his garage.  Today they were working on excavating when we stopped by.  The kids did good at staying out of the way while they worked so as a reward Grandpa let them sit take a turn sitting in the excavator when he was finished.

Needless to say, the kids where in heaven.
