kiddieos

It has been nice to slow down a little the last couple of weeks. My kids seem to be changing and growing daily. Sometimes I sit back and watch them play - realizing that they're not the chubby little midgets they used to be.

A couple weeks ago I brought an old desk up into the living room. I figured it would be a spot I could put my laptop and books until I can buy my desired furniture for the room (which I hope occurs sooner than later:)). It didn't take a minute after Whitney saw it for her to claim it her workstation. Which I'm fine with. But over the last couple weeks it's become her second room. I can't complain. She decorates nice. Keeps it very tidy and organized. She even vacuums and mops.
It's actually worked out nicely since she wants to color and cut while listening to music. If only her music of choice wasn't Chipmunks Christmas...
Oh, yes - and the shopping cart under the desk is the garbage. Pure genius.

Travis is still our surfer dude/pirate fighter. One morning I made a surfboard for him out of swim noodles. He caught some sweet pretend waves that day.

He also has picked up on something very important from all of our B of M reading. Every time we sword fight and I take the lead he informs me "no you can't win 'cause I have the power of God."

Hailey is growing the most rapidly. How much she has changed in only a month!! She now can crawl at super speed and pull herself up to standing. It's quite entertaining to watch her little body go.

The funniest thing is how she has started imitating Travis' silliness. She always shakes her head like crazy - trying to be funny. It always makes me laugh. Exhibit A:

This midget makes me smile.
