Just Because

I don't have a whole lot going on at the moment, but was looking at some pictures from the last month and felt like posting some of them. I have awesome kids and Im grateful to be able to be home with them all day! Here are some of the fun times from this last month!
Jon is now working in the afternoon and doesn't get home until about 10, so I am stuck to making dinner by myself. By the time dinner comes around, Noah is usually clutching my legs and screaming while Ella runs around and makes a mess of everything and bugs Noah as much as she can. Its just usually a little hectic. But on this particular day, I asked Makella to try to play and help Noah instead of bugging him. She came up with a great idea and it worked! Dinner was made in peace and I got to see a very sweet moment with my kids. She read him stories and after each one, she would tell him to go get another book and he would run off with his silly run and get another book. It was so cute!



There have been some nice days, so we all went outside to play. It was lots of fun! Makella made her own "racing path" and wanted me to take some pictures of her. She would check the camera after each one to make sure i got it right. It took a few shots before she was satisfied.

Noah's favorite thing to do is to read books and get into the kitchen cabinets. Apparently, he realized it would be fun to do both!


We have done a lot of painting, and this time Noah got to join in. He did a pretty good job and didnt get it all over his face! He's just so cute, I can hardly stand it!

Makella is a pretty big perfectionist and so I have a hard time getting her to draw or anything for very long because she gets frustrated and just wont do it. But on this day she decided she was going to paint a picture for dad and she worked so hard! She painted a rainbow and got frustrated a few times and it took awhile, but she stuck with it and it turned out so good! I was so proud! :) Then just this morning she spent half and hour drawing out the whole rapunzel story and writing the words for each picture. When she was done she even said, "well its not perfect, but thats ok!" I loved it!

Other than that, we just hang out and do a lot of giggling and playing! These kids definitely know how to be silly and have fun! I love them both!
