^^^ There is this random place in the corner of our courtyard where the kids love to run and hide. Given the bugs back there, it's really weird how it appeals to them. Alas, I have yet to see a child NOT enjoy this hiding spot.
^^^ Last week, I surprised Phil by going from a bazillion, overlapping icons on my desktop to SIX! I figured this called for an impressive desktop background too and I found the perfect "BOOM SHAKA LAKA" on this lady's blog.
^^^ This wild one will run around until she's literally dripping with sweat and red in the face. And even then, there's effort required on our part to insist on water breaks and down time. She loves keeping up with the older kids :)
^^^ If you need an activity that keeps kids (of all ages!) engaged and quiet, this is the activity you need! I saw it on Pinterest and decided to try it out on Spring Break. You simply freeze some plastic figures in a block of ice, give the kids some "tools", salt, and water, and let them go to town on trying to "rescue" the trapped characters. They loved it! :)
^^^ If you look closely, you'll see the pink sparkle on Winka's cheek. There is still glitter EVERYWHERE around the house. I don't think I will be living this one down anytime soon....
^^^ Our quiet explorer :) This little one is easily drawn into the simplest of things.
^^^ Wearing freebie flip-flops through the mall, post-pedicure. Thank you COCO for wearing them alongside me. I give you a GOLD STAR for supporting me through my "AHHH, I AM WEARING FLATS!!!" crisis ;)
^^^ Emily sent this to me and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^ Left Side: Nory playing the guitar. She started up a FAMILY BAND / DANCE CREW that same evening. Right Side: Jettie goes straight to Daddy when she sees him come home from work. They are inseparable, those two :)
^^^ What to do? You can either spend the whole time keeping your child away from the random stream of water in the courtyard OR embrace the fact that it's there. And, given that she rarely gets to experience puddles, we said YES!!!!!! :)
^^^ National McDonald's Day happened recently and two of us decided to celebrate. The two of us that didn't celebrate shopped the mall with Auntie Gem :)
^^^ Sometimes you bake a heart cake JUST CUZ and invite your friends over to help :)
^^^ Quiet mornings are my favourite. Having coffee and playing alongside these two is something I look forward to every single weekend!
