Amelia

Some days you walk into a room and find your child has been over come by exhaustion!!

Barn Star Project

This is my attempt at decoupaging this Barn Star. I got the star at Old Time Pottery. We are doing it as an Enrichment Activity this Sat. Another Sister is teaching the class but I wanted to do mine before hand so that I could help others. It turned out o.k. for my first try. There are some things I will do differently next time. But over all I think they are VERY CUTE. You could do all B&W or Sepia, but since I had all pictures of the kids I wanted it colorful and fun. Let me know what you think.

Amelia's and her New Glasses

I've known for a while that she was going to need glasses, but we waited for our vision insurance to kick in. We made her an appointment and my mom watched Eve and Ethan for me while Amelia and I went. It took sooooo LONG, but she was really really good. She was disappointed that she didn't get her glasses the same day. I told her they would call us on the phone when it was time to go pick them up. Everyday for the next week she asked if they had called and we could go get her glasses. When we went to get them the lady fitted them on her and she said they "were perfect" and then she looked around the big lobby and said "I see people". Poor thing must have been walking around in a big blur. Just this morning she woke up and came straight to me and said "look!" pointing to her eyes. And I said "What?" and she said "No glasses". She had fallen asleep last night in a chair in the Living Room so I took her glasses off and layed them up on top of the t.v. So we went straight away to get her glasses so she could put them on. I'm sooooo glad she can see now. Oh, and she wanted "PINK" glasses. It's hard to tell in the picture but they ar pink.

Little Boys + Dirt = Fun

Last week we had some super unseasonably warm weather for FEB. It was wonderful to let the kids get out and play in the back yard for a while. Ethan wandered around playing with a ball and following the girls around until he finally found a dirt pile worthy of his undevided attention. He went straight to the bath tub after playtime was over.
