Playing and Praying (The Pater Noster)

I was so happy about the boys going to bed before 10!...

...Until they were awake at 4:30am eating pizza.

Graffiti

My 3 1/2 year old is teaching himself to read/write/spell. Unfortunately his favorite learning tool is the wall.

May I introduce you to "A" "E" "I" "O" and "U".

He is also fond of bubble letters.

 "FUN"

 "DIG"

 "HAT"

 "HUG"

"CAT"

Daddy and Baby

Isaac was pulling all my fabric out of my sewing stash and engaging in a fun little game of his own invention with dad.

And a big hug!!!!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Sweet and Beautiful

 DD baking her cookies. She took turns playing me and herself (dd as "mommy" rolled out the dough and dd as dd cut the shapes).

 Putting the cookies in the oven.

 Cookies baking.

 Checking on her cookies.

 Tying the ribbons.

This was sooooo cute. My rolling pin was out on the counter and dd started up this whole game, tell me how she was "you, mommy!" and rolling out the cookies. And then playing herself and cutting them and everything just like we did yesterday. She asked for cookie cutters and "that board" and then she said she needed an oven and when they were baked asked for string so she could hang them on the tree.

The ABC Boy, At It Again!

DS1, the ABC boy, wrote letters on the counter top with cheddar cheese.

 DD and DS2 Down the Slide

I'm off of Facebook for Advent and until at least after Christmastide with all the busyness of preparations and homeschooling, but I will be posting updates on the little ones and their activities here on the blog.

DS2

DS2 is 6 months old. He is crawling, rolling over both ways, and pulling himself up to stand. He is the much adored baby of the family right now. Everyone loves and dotes on him. He enjoys some pureed fruits and enjoys sucking on sticks of steamed carrots.
