PLAY-dough!

The kids have fun with a buffet of play-doh, and Kyrie watches from afar...

Jungle-Trond, The Sequel

The fun continues...

Jungle-Trond

Daddy is the amusement of the under-five crowd. Being used as a riding horse to trampoline to gym-matte. He has everything needed to entertain the youngens - at least for a few minutes...

Cousin Fun

The kids were able to spend the greater portion of the day in the company of their cousins Cole and Kallan at Grandma and Grandpa's today. Not a dull moment for anyone, seems like all will be sleeping soundly tonight...

Getting Along

It's nice when the kids are all playing nicely together as one big happy bunch of siblings. Joyful!

Hungry Hungry Hippos

While Mommy went to Bible study, Daddy and the kids picked up a friendly game of Hungry Hungry Hippos. It was a fun filled experience, only interrupted by the occasional cries and fights from greed and jealousy. We all had a chance to win, and we all lost sometime too. A great exercise in basic math as well, as the winners counted the loot of plastic marbles...

The Boys Get Carried Away

We all know that kids can get carried away in play once in a while, but this is ridiculous!

Round Round It Goes

Simple pleasures...

Found You!

After Daddy returned from work, Kian wanted to take advantage of the one-on-one time he could get. The first thing that came out of that boy's mouth was "Daddy do you want to play hide-and-seek?" How could he say no. They took turns counting and hiding, and Daddy was discovered the most and the quickest, and had the toughest time himself locating the master hider. Eventually he did, and the boy smiled big.

Choo Choo

A few minutes before the day truly began, Daddy had a chance to play train with the three oldest. The girl's bedroom was a passenger car, and Kobe the conductor. Kian, Karis and Daddy were the passengers along for the ride. We were admiring the scenery and making stops at the occasional station. The conductor even demanded tickets from the passengers, who naively thought that they were commended guests along for the trip. It was all fun and games until the last stop where the senior ride-along traveller had to be let off for work.

Afternoon at the Park

Today the children and I walked to a nearby park in our neighborhood. It was great to get outside and the park was really fun. Even Karis loved exploring all the exciting things to do there. I also enjoyed seeing the boys' faces light up as they raced from slide to swing to bouncy toy. Kyrie also enjoyed watching the trees and the other children playing.








We finally had to go home when the raindrops started to fall. We walked home feeling very happy and excited that we had such a fun park nearby.

Alphabet Soup

It is not easy holding on to knowledge, and one must practice in order to stack the fundamental building blocks just right. Sometimes it is easy to get confused in a simple wordplay.

Two letters: HI...

Quite a Pair

Many of you already know that Kian is so in love with his sister. He entertains her, plays with her, sings "You are my sunshine" to her, and gives her lots of hugs and kisses. He always tells everybody how much he loves Kyrie...at least 20 times a day. We have no idea how this love came to be, but it is nice that she has someone to watch out for her now and then. Here I snapped a shot of him snuggling with her because she was a little fussy and he wanted to cheer her up. How sweet!

Quality Time With Sis

It was so nice outside that Kobe and Karis decided to go and play for awhile. Kobe was such a kind brother to play with his sister. He even got out a table and some chairs so that they could both sit down together. No one knows what their imaginations were concocting, but from the look of it, they were having a really great time being brother and sister.
