I’ll get around to doing a real post with actual writing one of these days. Until then, I give you this:

Family Pictures

My sister just posted her family pictures to her blog reminding me that I never posted ours. We had these taken last fall. Cherylann took our pictures and we love them!

The other day I went into the basement and saw someone had drawn people all over our whiteboard down there. I couldn’t figure out who had done it since it didn’t look like the people Brooke or Caroline draw and Spencer doesn’t draw according to all I thought I knew about him.

I must have wondered aloud who the artist was because Spencer came up behind me and said he drew the people. I didn’t believe him so I asked him to draw me some more while I watched. Sure enough – he was the artist.

Now he draws his little face-people everywhere:

They’re pretty versatile. He discovered if you give the guy just one eyeball he turns into Mike Wazowski:

Add a nose and a stem and he was thrilled to create a portrait of his Halloween pumpkin:

I did a post all about Madison and meant to follow it right up with this post about what everyone else has been up to…and it’s taken me weeks to get to it. Better late than never?

We happened upon fire safety day at the library and Spencer got a hat. He wore it everywhere we went for two weeks straight. Once we were in the car headed to the store and he realized he had forgotten his beloved hat. Oh the tears. I must admit – I loved my little fireman errand buddy.

We enrolled Caroline in a gymnastics class. She loved it and I was so impressed with all she learned.

The kids had their dental checkup. Somehow I heard the words “no cavities” from the dentist after which I nearly had to be treated for shock:

When the weather was nice the kids really got into making chalk cities on the driveway:

The kids love play-doh and while it does make a mess, it also keeps them happy for hours so I love it, too.

Every morning I have two peanut butter toast for breakfast. One morning Brooke made the toast for me…and positioned them into a heart:

I got to go on a field trip with Caroline to the farm:

Dallas trying to get Madison to crawl:

Brooke wanted to sketch Caroline’s portrait. She got her dressed up and is working to position her in the right pose:

The kids have been playing school a lot lately and it’s adorable:

We like to walk to school when the weather permits. We bundle Madison up so only her eyes show and we never know how Spencer will accessorize for the journey. Usually it’s with his fireman hat and clutching his lawn mower, but today it was goggles and a butterfly net:

The girls had crazy hair day. Brooke won a prize for her crazy hair!

We went to the Discovery Gateway Museum. Brooke made this:

An employee passed by and glanced over. She stopped in her tracks and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! She made a horse!” Yes she did. She can turn anything into a horse!
