Funlings

Carly started preschool last week. She was SOOO excited!

And these kids wait and wait and wait for daddy to come home from work every day. This is why.

Tids and Bits

I had preschool at our house this week for Carly. We learned about rainbows and Noah's Ark and weather. For the snack we colored bread for toast. Parker joined in on the fun and he was definitely having fun!

Spencer made the flower on the right and the beetle on the left out of these fun blocks. He wanted me to take a picture of him. I think he did a great job!

I took the 2 younger kids to the zoo this morning. First time I haven't taken the stroller to the zoo! It was SOO nice! Anyway, I decided we'd ride the train and this is a self-portrait of the fun times.

The new bridge off of the freeway opened up last week, so we took a family ride to it. It doesn't look like much, but it's pretty steep! We were all huffing and puffing when we got to the top!

We're getting good at self-portraits.

Doings of nothing

The kids and I were making personal pizzas for dinner when Kyle came in with the camera, snapped a few pictures, and then proclaimed. "You can use those on the blog." He was joking of course because he likes to make fun, but I am using them just to spite him. :P




And every Wednesday is our cleaning day. We've just implemented a new allowance and more consistent chore thing in our home, which has been working miracles! (It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows, but it's working!)

The 3 rules to cleaning I have are: Do it right. Do it quickly. Do it happily.

Some kids do it more happily than others...

Others need to work on obeying all the rules. :)

And there you have it. Our doings of nothing!
