Who needs toys: Day 194/365

I love when my children find new ways to entertain themselves. This picture happened after they destroyed a cardboard box and used it to slide around the kitchen.

Where is she?: Dat 193/365

I sent my daughter downstairs as a consequence to her bad behavior and heard her huffing and puffing the entire way down there. After a few minutes I went to check on her and panicked because I couldn't find her. After my 3rd or 4th scan of the living room, I found her bundled up on the couch in this blanket proud as punch that she had hidden so well.

Post appointment pick me up: Day 192/365

After my much dreaded annual physical, I decided to get myself a treat in the form of cookies and cream frozen yogurt topped with Oreo crumbles. It was pretty darn tasty.

Working on his skills: Day 191/365

After we finished lunch, I let my son play with his juice box while my daughter was on the playground.  He loves straws and I figured he would take the straw from the box and play with it. Instead, he spent a good 15 minutes patiently putting the straw in and pulling it out of the little punch hole. Working on that hand-eye coordination all by himself.

Art time: Day 190/365

My daughter loves arts and crafts, and painting is no exception. I usually let her paint outside to be safe, but with all the rain we've had recently, outside has not been an option. So, against my better judgement I let her paint in our dining room and she enjoyed every second of it.

Her treasures: Day 189/365

My daughter loves to collect treasures (aka rocks, leaves, sticks) in the yard and give them to me as presents.

That took a lot of work: Day 188/365

We were at a birthday party for some friends' son and my daughter decided to play on their swing set. She attempted to do the monkey bars and afterwards said "Mommy, those monkey bars sure took a lot of work out of me."
