Snuggles at the Prayer House

I love my time with them!!

Remi on my phone....

More pictures of our afternoon with Remi.  The "infamous" hour and half nap!  And Fun with the iPhone camera - Oh, those cheeks!  And she IS Pinkalicious! :)

I'm there when you need me!

My friend Jill called last week in a panic because her sitter canceled at like 7:30 AM!  Not a problem!  Little guy Landon just tagged along to preschool and library with us.  He is one happy dude, but man can he trash a room in nothing flat!  Ha!  (I'm pretty sure he wasn't working alone, though...)

 And then on Thursday Lil Miss Remi hung out with us for an afternoon.  A good nap, a good poop, and a good bottle made for one happy little lady!  Lovin' her shirt, too! 

Love these two little guys bunches, but man do they make me appreciate my nearly self-sufficient preschoolers!  Whew!

Sweatshirts in January?!

The kids have missed playing outside and swinging, so last week when it was cray warm, I let them play outside for a bit.... if they let me play with my new camera!!  :)

Pretty as a Princess

Grace was invited to a Princess birthday party.  :)  (Her friend, Mason, was there.  What are you going to do when your friends are all girls?!)  First there was cake, then pick a dress and accessories, then hair and makeup!  She loved it!

(I found it all a little strange, but she was in seventh Heaven!  They put spray glitter in her hair, so it was straight into the shower when we arrived home!!)

What to do.....

...when you hurt your back putting Christmas decorations away.... learn something new! 

How 'bout balloon animals!?!?  :)

In case you need some help.... that was my first creation, star fish, butterfly, turtle (Grace: "Mom!  You gotta write 'turtle' on it so we know what that thing is!!"), and octopus!  

Christmas Money

The kids were VERY blessed by family with PLENTY of Christmas money, so we let them go shopping with a little bit of it.  I've raised bargain shoppers!!
