Jammy day

Today we decided to have a jammy day. What's a better thing to do on jammy day then paint?! We had an empty paper towel roll and a toilet paper roll so we turned them into telescopes.

The kids had a great time making a mess....I mean painting. Alana had to put "sprinkles" (glitter) on hers. She put every color glitter we have on!

Concentrating very hard. She has to get the colors just right.
Tyler put a couple lines of blue paint on his and was done.

He had more fun with paper and mixing all the colors together.
Time to clean up. He loves to wash his hands. Lots of soap for him!

Blitz's first trip to OH

I took another trip to Ohio this time with all three kids. Blitz tagged along for the drive. He had a blast in my parent's back yard. They have a huge yard and a pond, which as you can see he took total advantage of. Every chance he got he was swimming. He would even go under the little boat dock there.

It is pretty bad that this trip I was going for my nephew's birthday party and my Grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary and the only pictures that I really took were of the dog swimming. It was his first trip out, and my first long trip by myself with the three kiddos. It went pretty well. Blitz slept just about the whole trip back home and he still has barely moved from his bed. I think the weekend exhausted him, as it did me too!

More sleepy kids!

It is such a rough life being 2. There is just so much to do...who has time for sleep?! This was a day that Tyler decided to get up at 4:45am. He was playing pretty hard until about 9:00am. Alana and I were playing and coloring and we noticed Tyler was pretty quiet. So we went to check on him and found him asleep.

I had put Alana in her own bed, kissed her good night, closed her door and went downstairs to pick up toys and vacuum. I didn't know she had gotten out of bed and put herself in our bed! Sneaky girl! I'll have to keep an eye on her when she is older! Notice that Mickey and Minnie mouse each had to have a pillow too!

Beauty Shop

Alana decided that we both needed make-overs. So she got out her little 'beauty shop' that her Aunt Becky got her. It has lots of glitter and lipsticks and even stickers for earrings. She had a lot of fun. I think I still have glitter on my face from that day. Good thing Daddy wasn't home, he would have ended up with some purple or pink eyes and cheeks! In the last picture she was doing a silly face and insisted I take her picture!

Music box dancer

The kids love the show Hi 5. Alana likes the part where one of the girls (Karla) is pretending to be a music box dancer. We had to watch that part over and over again until Alana got it just right. Not by our choice! I swear one day she is going to be an actress! She loves pretending and everything is a song with her. She makes one up just about everyday. I really should start writing them down, they are pretty funny. Tyler tries to do the dance and sing along as well. Never a dull moment around here.

Tyler sleeping.

Tyler was upstairs playing and I guess he had just had enough. This is an interesting way to fall asleep. It doesn't look very comfortable to me. Notice he has his pooh bear blanket and a train near by! Our kids seem to fall asleep just about anywhere they are if they are tired!

Mother's Day.

I'm a little late in posting these. This was my first Mother's day present that Alana had made me in school. Pretty cute. She was very proud of it. All of the kids painted flower pots and then they cut out the flowers and glued them on craft sticks and put them in the pot. It was filled with Hershey Kisses and Hershey Hugs. Notice she signed her name. Pretty cute. She also had a butterfly painted on her cheek, but it is hard to see.
