Sleepover

The girls were having their friends over, and because of all the ginormous amount of fun were not falling asleep for a long time either.

Four Wheelin'

During a recent playdate, I was distracted with my chatting to my friend and did not see my two darling daughters climb onto the kid's four wheeler! To my surprise, they seemed like pros as they drove around the driveway with infectious giggles and smiles as wide as an ocean. What delight to my heart to see them fun and fancy free without a care in the world...just as childhood should be.

Paper Garden

Today after church, the boys and I went to a greenhouse for a special children's spring project. While we were there, Kobe and Kian were able to paint their very own pot, then they made some designs with recycled paper and seeds inside the paper. Kobe made a heart and Kian made a flower shape. They then put the paper into their special painted pot with soil in it, and now have the task of watering and caring for their flower when it grows. We also got a tour of the greenhouse and how the workers start the planting process. We saw many beautiful flowers and plants of course and had a hard time choosing one to take home. The boys also were treated to goodies at the end of the tour. When it was time to go, the boys were given a free Marigold each and picked out their very own flowers to plant when it gets warmer out. Kobe of course picked Orange flowers, Kian picked yellow flowers, and we picked some pretty dark pink flowers for Karis and Kyrie. When I tucked Kobe into bed tonight (Kian had already fallen asleep) I asked him what his favorite part of the day was, and he said "The Paper Garden!" I knew they both had built a happy memory.

Family Fitness Fun

Today the boys and I went to an activity for families called Family Fitness Fun. We did different types of exercises, read a story, had a nutritious snack, and went through an obstacle course. The boys loved every moment of it and even won prizes at the end! Kobe and Kian had never won prizes before and were very excited to pick out the golf clubs and jump rope they won. It was also special to have just the two boys with me to have some one on one time with them. I was constantly thinking, "This sure is easy with just two of them!" The girls had fun with Daddy at home too.

Sisterly Love

Karis was in the process of helping her sister in another fashion crisis. She would just not look right without a nice pair of shades. But before daddy could get the camera out, the shades were quickly removed - the sun glasses weren't color matched well enough to Kyrie's outfit... Imagine the embarrassment to have that captured and posted in cyberspace!
