The kids were outside playing today and this is what I found them doing.

Yesterday we were at Costco. I found Tyler in the shopping cart with this bear.
“Mom! Can we buy this?”
“No.”

First thing in the morning, Tyler comes running into my room – not caring that I’m still asleep – he asks, “Am I much taller today??” So excited it’s his birthday, he thinks since he went from 5 to 6 years old overnight, he got alot taller too.

His birthday party was at Pump It Up this year. We invited his entire class and some other friends. He was so excited and anxious about his party all week!

After running around for awhile, Tyler came to me and told me something was hurting his toe. He took off his sock and I saw a splinter in his big toe. It was a tiny hair.

With the help of Auntie Eileen, I was able to get out with my finger nails.

Yesterday was the kids’ school annual pancake breakfast fundraiser. For $5, we got 3 pancakes with bacon and a drink! Parents and teachers volunteer to help and Applebee’s provides the facility.

Lately Nats been more conscious of what she’s wearing and how she looks. When I comb her hair, she tells me not to push her bangs back – she likes them combed straight down. She will choose her outfits and accessorize them with matching hairbows and jewelry.

This is her collection of hair bows and clips

We recently went to the mall and she picked out a few earrings at Claire’s. Here she hangs them in a box (next to my box of earrings). Everyday she picks out a pair of earrings to wear with her outfit.
