Butterflys

Kids are pretty creative. Today they found a new toy (after it had been broken!) They wrapped themselves up in their "cocoons" and were waiting for their wings. Treston said he was going to have red wings... and Aiden green wings.

It was good to see them having fun together... the last few days has just been a bunch of fighting. The flu bug doesn't help to bring harmonious sounds!!!

Tubba Bubble Fun!

Yesterday, during tubba time, I realized that they are all getting so big... and they won't be able to have play time together in the tubba much longer. So I thought I better snap some shots of them having fun in the bubbles together.

Treston and Kailea were actually recovering from having the flu (no smiles!).

But, Aiden was feeling great - he had eaten all the pb&j's and had tons of smiles. Funny Kids!

This was fun!!!!

I have always wanted to be someone who could paint pictures. Well, I am no "artist", but I decided to give it a try. And to my surprise... I didn't do too bad. I just wanted to share. Thanksgiving wishes to all!

Treston - Super Marble Man

Ok, so have you ever had the feeling that your kids aren't really learning anything from you. Or that what you try to teach them over and over may never sink in? And then all the sudden... it really sinks in. This is the case with the marble machine. The boys got it last Christmas and have really enjoyed it. However, I am usually the engineer. Well the other day - Treston came running to get me - very excited! He had built this tower all by himself!!! And it worked! He made me watch as he put a marble down to see if it hit every place. I was so proud of him. And the best part is that he felt really good about himself too! I guess they are listening!

Oh - Did Halloween Already Pass? ...

Aiden as a caterpillar! He wasn't really into the trick-or-treating, he just walked around and looked at everyone else.

Kailea as Tinker Bell - as soon as she got out of the car - she was sliding down the dirt hill. So this is the best picture I got that night. Too fun!

Treston wanted to be a Butterfly!! So how in the world do you make a butterfly look manly? I tried. Oh Well! He loved it - especially the face paint. He is such a fun boy (most of the time!)
