Resting Time

After we went outside to play, we came back in for some lunch and then a video. 

We asked for nice smiles and here is what we got:

 

 

 

 

 

It just kept getting sillier:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fun at Aunt Kelly's

Aunt Kelly babysat the kids the other morning and they enjoyed more bubble blowing!

 

 

 

Aunt Kelly isn't afraid to let Busy Bee join in the fun too. 

She may have made a little mess, but she loved being part of the group.

 

 

 

Thanks Aunt Kelly for watching the kids and having fun with them.

 

Outside Time

The weather has been warmer this week - in the 30's and 40's, and with the help of Aunt K-Fell, we were ready to go outside and play.

 

 

The foursome nicely posed for this picture at the top of the hill before they ran down.

 

 

Where was Busy Bee?  Cuddling in the arms of her Aunt who she loves dearly.

 

 

After a little while, the boys were ready to go inside and play with Lego's.  Busy Bee was ready for some lunch.  But Purple Girl and her Cousin stayed outside for over an hour playing.  They had so much fun.  Purple Girl took a nice long nap for mom that afternoon too.

 

 

Daddy's Home

Daddy's "home" for the evening and the kids are SO excited.  The girls can't wait to ask their daddy to dance with them and little man is ready for some wrestle time.

 

 

Busy Bee discovered that she could climb on top of this tote and was ready to say

"Cheese" for the camera.

 

 

Then she enjoyed clapping and dancing on to the music.

 

 

 

More snuggles for daddy and probably the girls asking "Please daddy, please dance with us!"

 

 

 

Winter Activity - Kitchen Bowling

The kids enjoyed setting up their own bowling alley in the kitchen the other day. 

 

 

 

 

Special Dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's

Grandma Cheryl had a sweet idea to have the children help her make an anniversary dinner for mom and dad.  She took Little Man over for the afternoon to help her make some food (although I am not sure how much help he was, as his cousin was over and also Grandpa) so he might have been a little distracted.

 

After nap time she bravely came and picked up the girls to come help her finish the preparations.  Then dad and mom came over for dinner.

 

I wish you could have seen Purple Girl and the JOY on her face as she was able to serve dinner to her mom and dad.  It was so sweet and really made our nights. 

 

Both kids excitedly met us at the door and off ran Purple Girl to show us where we were suppose to sit and pulled out the chairs for us.

 

 

 

It wasn't long and she was running back with our drinks - strawberry smoothies - they were quite delicious!

 

 

Little Man then brought our first appetizer of pineapple with marshmallows on top.

 

 

Where was Busy Bee?  She once again found a lap to sit on and enjoyed some more dinner.

 

 

I had to convince Purple Girl to stand still so I could get one picture of her and Big Brother in their serving outfits.  Observe how brave Grandma was - having us sit on the carpet with our two precious kids serving us food.  I think it made Grandpa a little nervous : )

 

 

Finally she brought us our main course - Chicken Alfredo and vegetables. 

 

 

 

You just can't imagine how much fun she was having. Although Big Brother and Grandma tried to keep Purple Girl in the kitchen so mom and dad could eat, she couldn't help herself but to come give us both several hugs, ask us what we needed and to quickly carry our plates away the minute we were done.    Grandma said it took her a lot of convincing Purple Girl to not have the table completely set with our food before we arrived.

 

 

Finally Purple Girl sat down with Grandma and enjoyed trying on her rings while Daddy and Mommy (and Busy Bee) finished their dinners.

 

It was a very special evening.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for setting it up.  Our children are very blessed to have such special Grandparents.

 

Purple Tongues

One of the kids favorite snacks are frozen blueberries.  Of course they love showing off their purple tongues after they eat them.  Even Busy Bee thinks this is quite fun.
