Well, it's almost March, so we thought we would do a little St. Patrick's Day craft for preschool. I forgot to take a picture of the finished work of art, but it was a pretty cute hand print shamrock. I think they just liked getting messy for a reason. :)
Jaron really got into the fingerpaints....which became more like hand paints.
Rylea sort of liked it, but I caught a bad picture of her getting ready to say cheese, but snapped a little too early.
I bought a giant bag of carrots...totally underestimated how much 25lbs of carrots would be and I've only done about half of it, but now I have a lot of carrots ready for some carrot cake, sliced carrots for soup, and I cut up a whole bunch for carrot sticks too.
We had a friend over this past week and she was adorable, gave me a little taste of what Rylea will probably be like in about a year. Anyway, as we were getting ready for snack time, she had to make sure all of her 5 stuffed animals....including our giant Jagger (who she adopted while here) had a spot at the table before she would eat. It was quite the "tea party"
Rylea basically refuses to eat in her high chair now, she will for a few minutes, usually while I'm getting dinner ready and I give her a snack, but when it's actual meal time and we are sitting at the table she goes ballistic and won't eat or stop crying unless we take her out of the high chair and let her sit at the table....I'm just not sure if I'm ready for her to be out of the high chair, she's just so....contained there. :)
We went on a little walk this week, we had some beautiful days.
Of course we had to play fireman at the lamp post.
When Morgan comes home from his run in the afternoon he stretches a bit and the last few times Rylea-girl will copy what he's doing, it's pretty much the most adorable thing in the world, I'm glad I got some cute pictures this time.
Rylea has a love-hate relationship with shoes. She loves them and always wants to have them on so she can go outside, but whenever we are in the car she takes her shoes and socks off....or if she knows we aren't going outside anymore, I find that girls shoes and socks everywhere, she's worse than her mom! Actually, since Morgan built the lockers with shoe bins in the mud room, my shoes are usually where they are supposed to be. :)
She likes Brittyn's flip flops because she could put them on by herself and was pretty proud that she got them on. It was a little tricky with her socks still on, but she got it good enough to get to the door and ask to go outside.
Saturday night after dinner we decided to take a little walk. We gave all the kids a Creamie.
I think Rylea and Jaron enjoyed them the most. :)
We didn't get very far though before we heard gunshots behind our house. We were headed that direction so we changed course, but Morgan went to see what was going on, and sure enough there were some idiots shooting their handguns from the back of the truck on the dirt hills behind our house. (It was across the street, but we could still see them from the kids bedroom windows) Morgan was pretty upset, that's where a lot of kids go to ride bikes and he was worried someone was going to get hurt. He called the non-emergency police line and reported it. During which time we finished our walk and headed back home for showers. I had to drag Morgan away from the window with his binoculars to help get a bath started; he was worried they would get away. Anyway, the cops did finally come and talked to the guys for a while, who knows what really happened, but I was happy that Morgan had the instinct to protect us, I sure love that man!
This week went by really fast and seemed busy at the time, but I have a feeling the rest of the school year is just going to fly by. Teaching piano has made the weeks go by faster for me. We are excited though because our Family Vacation 2016 got bumped up to Spring Break instead of the end of July. In about a week we will be headed to Sea World, San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Temple, and of course a couple beaches. We are really excited, the boys are going to have a blast! Until next time.......
