Creative little stinker!




While hiding out under a large bin playing what I thought was "fort" games, this little stinker decided to be creative.  At least his mouse (top picture) came out pretty cute! I'm going to have to keep an eye on this one!

Apparently, he wanted to draw and didn't bring any paper under there with him, so this was the next best thing.  At least he knew not to draw on my bin! Crazy kid!  Got to love him!

Kinda makes you want to go... hmmm.....

Sometimes I wonder about my kids.  They are so creative and fun-loving, what is really going through their brains? Sweet Pea is the instigator.  He will come up with ideas and plans and get Monkey to follow through on them.  Yes, he gets in trouble too, if she does something he told her to do.  It is a never ending battle with those two!  I understand that Monkey loves dogs (stuffed, not real) and oftentimes will pretend to be one, but this is the first time she actually ate like one!  Not sure who came up with this "game", but I had to take a few pics before telling them that their food should be on the table, not the floor.  Oh and that they were humans.  Crazy kids!
Stinker!!

So excited because they lined up their construction toys!

Little Mommy

Monkey loves her babies.  She loves playing with them, pretending to be their mommy and ever since I bought her a care kit, she loves changing their diapers, feeding them "food" and a bottle. I love watching her connect and be a little mommy to her own babies. The love she has for these stuffed animals and the way she takes care of them warms my heart. I look forward to the day (25+ years from now!!) when she has her own babies and loves them to bits like I love her.

Yes, the perfectionist in me had to move the hair out of her face!  But no, I didn't wash the strawberries off.

Mahwidge, Mahwidge is what bwings us twogetha twoday!

 My kids are obsessed with getting married.  They like to get dressed up and come into the room and tell me they are going to go get married now.  Um... what?!??  I know, they are kids and these two are so imaginative that it is all part of the fun and explorative play, but I always have to remind them that God has someone special for them to marry and that they are not going to marry their brother/sister or even their mommy/daddy.  They go back to playing and I am satisfied that they know where marriage comes from.  Yes, we have had deeper conversations about this in the past, so now each time it is more of a refresher for them.
Mommy! We are going to get married today!
