Love of Books

It is awesome how much all of our kids love books! It's a rare site in our house to have all of the books put away.

And I love how they love to read lots together. It is so sweet.

Bucket Head

Eliza learned a new word from Plants vs. Zombies. "Nooooooooo!" It's funny because she says it so sweetly & I don't think she has any idea what it really means. The kids were convinced that she also being a bucket head zombie here. I don't know if she was, but she was being cute.

Lost Tooth in Primary

Joseph has had this tooth that's been dangling for quite awhile. Yesterday in Primary he was playing with it & one of his teachers offered to knock it right out for him. Of course Joseph was reluctant & his teacher told him he could probably do it himself, just push it a little harder. Sure enough, he did & out it popped!

Of course the tooth fairy left him something & he's been super excited about learning all about the back of the Sacajawea coin.

Star Wars Creations

Joseph is still really into Star Wars. He checks out books about Star Wars each week at the library & in his spare time he makes different characters with toys. Here is his R2D2. He's so excited about it!

Andrew's New Kite

Andrew made a kite at Joy School today & right when we got home he took it flying in the driveway. He quickly at lunch & then hurried back out side to fly it some more before heading to preschool. I love the joy this boy finds in any & everything.

Catching Sunbeams

Almost every afternoon when the sun is starting to set we get a great stream of light in the front of our house & the kids start dancing & chasing sunbeams around. It's so much fun to watch the excitement each day as they catch & frolic around.

First Ponytail

Eliza brought me a rubber band today & tried to put it in her hair. I can take a hint: she's sick of her hair getting stuck in her runny nose. So, into it's first ponytail it went.

She loves washing her hands. This girl would stand here for hours if we let her. She is so stinking cute!

And after a long day (& refusing her afternoon nap) she falls asleep in her high chair.
