Life Lately

Wednesday, June 18, 2014

Gramma and Grandpa mailed the girls some shirts from their trip to DC. The girls LOVE these shirts and wear them almost every other day. We have had lots of fun lately with our Dollar Tree Water Squirters! I'm telling you they are the best $1 you will spend for your kids all summer! 

Where's CLo?

Our plums are ripe!! 

Daddy started working on the deck...

Free crafting time... I am trying to cultivate more creativity in Kenley. She is totally a "follow the directions and it must be exactly how the package looks" kind of kid... So I am trying to do more open ended projects with her. (But you better believe that CLo and the glitter glue were testing my calmness big time) :) 

I forgot to put the girls sheets in the dryer before we left for community group the other night so we put a movie on for the girls to watch while their sheets dried. CLo fell asleep on the couch. Sleeping kids are so peaceful and sweet. I just love it...

Legos! The girls had never played with Legos before but since Kristen's birthday theme was going to be Lego I picked up some little packs at TJ Maxx to get the girls familiar with them...

Both girls LOVE doing Legos! I definitely need to start going to garage sales and looking for Legos now! 

The girls and I drove up to Raleigh to spend time with Job and Ruthie while Kim was in the hospital having EllaBeth! We loved getting to see our friends! I REALLY wish we lived closer to them! Maybe one day??? 

Kenley & EllaBeth...

Claire & EllaBeth...

I made some shaped crayons for Job and Ruthie. I came up with packaging the crayons in an old egg carton to keep the crayons from breaking and having the colors rub on each other... It worked great! I LOVE making crayons for friends!  

KenKen wanted me to take pictures of their Legos...

Kenley wrote down our menu for Friday night...

Patiently waiting... We LOVE our ice cream maker! 

Kristen and Kenley at Kristen's Lego party! 

CLo in the Lego race... I know I am biased but man is she a cutie!

So fun. Thanks for taking care of my kiddos while I had a baby. And you brought so many fun (and cute) treats for the kids. What a blessing. Maybe someday we will live in the same area. ;) for now, we will keep trading places. ;)
