Memorial Day Fun

We spent the holiday weekend in good 'ol GH County. We weren't able to decorate the graves Sat. morning but did help collect them Monday afternoon.

We have quite the little baker on our hands. He inquired about the noise from Grandma's mixer and wanted to help make the cake. He was good at cracking eggs!

Sampling the ice cream.

A Glimpse Into Our Daily Fun

I know it's hard to believe but somedays it's hard to find things to do around here, especially if the weather is bad.

The kids are really good at entertaining themselves, or each other, when I'm either cleaning up lunch or completing some other innane household task.

Here's one example of how we spend our afternoons.

 BOO!

 She thought it was hilarious when he licked her.

 Surprise! It's a castle. The pictures are a little out of order. I made one for him, and he got upset when she tried to use his blanket to cover her head. So I had to make one in her room.

She was giggling the whole time.

What's Up in May

I've been away from this blog for WAY too long and I apologize. I'm going to try and be better about posting.

I'm not going to try and make up for lost time; I'm just going to jump in to the present.

 We did a little painting for Mother's Day. Ainsley was content to color w/ a marker, at first, then once she saw the paint, she started whining. Paint was too messy for her, it became nap time.

 One of the places we like to go is The Exploration Place. Here is Ainsley w/ her friend Claire.

 Carsen is planting some vegetables and the girls are raking the carpet.

 Carsen's preschool Spring program. They were so cute!

 We spent the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend at Rolling Hills Zoo in Salina.
 Riding the frog.

Carsen's last day of Preschool! (He still has another year of preschool before kindergarten.)
