A Little Craziness...though it's a good Crazy!!!

Life has been crazy, hectic, chaotic, happy, wonderful...yadda, yadda, yadda. New school, and everything that comes with that, new puppy, and everything that comes with THAT, new schedules, new routines, new new new! We've been sick, had anniversaries and birthdays, gone on some 'vacations' and much, much more. We're adjusting, but life just seems as if it kicked into overdrive! So...here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks:

Our favorite book

Happy Birthday Daddy

Sick little boy, but trying to make the best of it!

Sick little girl, and NOT making the best of it!

Our little "Kutter", 6 week old Boxer

An instant part of the family, for sure

Melissa and Doug...you shouldn't have!!!

For those of you who don't know...Melissa and Doug is a company that makes many wonderful wooden, and creativity enhancing toys! I'm a HUGE fan! Wooden toys are just fantastic and if we had no fisher price bright, flashy, noisy toys in our house I sure wouldn't be sad!

Anyways...A few weeks ago Kallen and Kynlee received a little "after Christmas" surprise...a play kitchen...wooden of course! They just can't get enough. Well, imagine their surprise when the mailman dropped of a box from amazon.com filled with Melissa and Doug food. One set of "food groups", and one set of "cutting fruits and vegetables". The kids LOVE them, and I love hearing their chatter as they "cook dinner".

"Here sissy...put this carrot back together so I can cut it for the soup"

"No Kally...no touch...mine"

Okay, so it isn't always joyous, but they are having a good time and sharing rather nicely...for the most part!

Cuddled in Red, White and Black

A few months ago some dear friends of ours were throwing their sons old twin bed away. Of course I don't like to see perfectly good things going to waste, and knowing that someday soon Kynlee would be transferring from her crib into a big girl bed...I snatched it up! With a little sanding, and several coats of paint, Kynlee got a darling little bed for FREE mind you!!!

Anyways...I wasn't quite ready to put Kynz in her big girl bed, so it's just been sitting in the garage, waiting! Well...Kevin recently turned the garage into his "man cave", so out went the bed, and into Kynlee's room it went. As you can imagine...the bed and the crib in her room, made things a little tight. Well...not anymore. I rolled the crib out this afternoon, and cuddled her up for our first try at the big girl bed.

Let's not talk about the fact that I've been listening to her screaming at the top of her lungs, while pounding on the door, for the last hour or so. Or the fact that I've put her back into bed 26 times in that time, and instead...let's just look at how cute she is all cuddled up!!!

Blessings,

A hat...of sorts

So, Kynlee won't wear hats of any kind, and getting her to leave a clip or band in her hair for more than 2 seconds is like pulling teeth...But she'll go to the laundry basket of clean clothes, pull out her brothers underwear, put it on her head and proceed to wear it around all afternoon. Nice!!!

Blessings,
