lately happenings

just a quick post to share what we've been up to lately. i'm going to make this quick so that i can go and catch some zzzs before the kids storm our room! (the changing up of sleeping arrangements has caused me and allan some rough nights these last few weeks. and, i know i still haven't posted a pic of the girls' room, but i will soon! it's nothing big, so be warned.) hope you enjoy these pics!

lucas and emma had "crazy hair" day at awana a couple of weeks ago. i have been wanting to shave lucas' head just to see how it would look. i was getting tired of taking him to get his hair cut (which didn't happen very often anyway). so for his crazy hair do, we decided to give him a mohawk. we all thought it looked pretty cool!

last weekend, allan took lucas and emma on a fishing outing. so, elise and i hung out together for the first half of the day. we went shopping, ran a few errands, and then went to home depot to return something. as we were walking out, we saw that they were having a kids workshop weekend! look what our little elise made...so proud of her!


here's what our typical morning of homeschooling looks like. (i took these last wednesday.) see the smile on his face? love this kid!


here is emma doing "school" while i was working with lucas. such a cutie pie!


and last but not least, here is elise doing storytime with all of her little friends. she's pretending to be miss kelly, our local librarian. i thought this was the cutest thing!

moving on to today's happenings...
our friend, aliyah, came over to play today. after storytime at the library and lunch at the park, we came home and this is what the girls wanted to do towards the end of their time together. i thought they would have wanted to play dress up or something! i kept having to tell emma to keep her eyes on the road. several times she almost drove herself and her passenger off of the curb!

i LOVE the pictures!! we were at home depot when they did their little kids thing too, but we were too late to sign up. they made a birdhouse which seemed a little advanced for a 2.5 year old (most of the kids were older). can't wait to see the girls' room! :)

Nice hair! I cut our kids' hair too. I figure since Jack is still young, I'll have some time to get good at it before he can be embarrassed. :) I love the pictures of Elise being a librarian.
