Some Random Antics

Lily decided to bonk her head on the ground for fun. I love these kids. :)

Making T-Shirts With Dad

Angelica was out having fun her sisters for a few days, and so I had the kids for the day. I thought it'd be fun to do a craft with the kids, and I'd been wanting to try out printable, iron-on t-shirt transfers for a while.

We first started out planning to use some clip art images found on the net, but the kids suggested drawing, and I thought that was a great idea! It would be really cool to see your own artwork on a shirt!

We used an app called Paper for our iPad. Adia drew a picture, then we gave it to Evelyn. Evelyn did such a fun, colorful picture that Adia wanted it on her t-shirt too! It's lovely too!

I also made a shirt, a flag from a video game I like, and it was fun to use. All in all, we had fun and spent less than $25 for materials.

3 kids + 5 rolls of toilet paper=

Yes, 5 whole rolls of toilet paper.














I was able to salvage 4 of the 5 rolls, the fifth was very thoroughly shredded. And yes, all 3 of the children remained unharmed, but were quite upset when I wouldn't take a picture of them with their handy work.

Little and the Pinwheel

A prize we won at Lamb Days, the pinwheel is a big hit with Lily.

Neil here with pics!

I'm always taking fun pictures, here's a few:

The last one is our buddy (and cousin) Wyatt doing a hulk, while Eve plays the part of the princess. :) Adi just wanted to be in the picture, as she always does. :)

Everyday everyday

Not a super exciting post but I felt like updating. So it's our everyday everyday post.
One day Charity's kids spent the day with us while she went to Youth Conference.
Logan, Jaycee, Adia, Sydnie, Evelyn, and Brynn all lined up to watch The Lion King.


Watching Ruby Gloom with Dad. Neil says its only show he can stand to actually watch with the kids.


4th of July pancakes, as close to star shaped as I could get.


Eve being Eve. She got herself ready that day :) when she saw this photo she said "is that me shaking my booty?" but in Eve speak it sounded more like "booday"


These three love to snuggle up together and watch movies.


I seriously adore when they play like this together. It makes my heart smile.

I am one lucky momma!

Some Silly Girl Stuff

Here's a few photos and videos from my phone. We love these girls and have so much fun with them!

They love their baby sister. I was reading through some tough experiences of other parents trying to help their first child get used to not being the only kid in the family once a new sibling arrived, and I felt lucky to be able to say I hardly see anything like that with our girls. Phew.

This has been a new thing as of the past week: sneaking some late night cartoons on dad's iPad. It's cute, but I won't let them know that. ;)

Lily is eating big kid food now with the rest of us, and she's particularly good at blowing on her food.

Even though Angelica is much better at it, I still enjoy that my little girls humor me and my hair skills. :)
