Kids Happenings

Samuel and Bella were playing a funny game the other day. They had the baby in the stroller and Samuel was pushing the baby around like a wild man. Then he would say the baby got struck by lightening and fling it out of the stroller. Bella would then run pick the baby up and "nurse" it. Then the baby would go back in the stroller and they would start running around the house again. It's fun to watch at such a young age that built in nurturing nature of little girls.

Oh My Bella Girl!

She was supposed to be taking a nap and I heard her crying, "Help me" so I ran upstairs to see what the problem was. A couple of weeks ago during nap time she climbed clear to the top of the closet to retrive something and was stuck at the top and couldn't get down. But this time she had climbed inside her doll high chair and her legs were stuck.
Saturday morning I was brushing my teeth and Bella was playing around under the cupboard. I'm always finding her playing with the lotion, but this time I figured I was standing right there so it would be okay. Then I look over to see that she had dumped half a bottle of baby oil onto the concrete. Talk about a slick mess! I spent the next 1/2 hour trying to get it cleaned off the concrete floor with all the kids crying about something and wondering what was taking Chuck so long at Home Depot.

I love this picture of Bella playing basketball in her pink high heels!

Samuel

Samuel's new favorite activity is "Jedi training". Everyday he goes down stairs to practice being a Jedi. Right now he tells me he's just a Padwon, but if he trains he will be a Jedi. He has us build robots out of the big blocks and then knocks them down. Chuck also throws blocks at him and he hits them with his light saber. He also likes Bella to fight with him, but she isn't quite as excited about it. The other day at Joy School the twins weren't here so it was just Samuel and the girls. During free play time I heard him ask them if they wanted to do some Jedi training - poor guy, they just wanted to play dolls!

Every day I do learning time with the kids. The other morning Samuel came to me and said, "Mom, I need to work on Bella's letters with her". So he sat down at the computer with Bella and helped her with her letters. It was really cute!

Isaac

Isaac's new favorite hang out is the pantry. The door is usually open because we are all snackers around. He really loves to eat and there are usually crumbs on the pantry floor from Bella and Samuel so I think that's why he is always heading that way.

Isaac looks like a little lamb here. Whenever Isaac is crying Bella instantly jumps into action trying to make things better. She gets him a drink, toy or his binkie. Samuel on the other hand is quick to say, "Mom, Isaac needs you!"

The kids like to drag Isaac around by his feet on the concrete floor. He laughs at this for a few minutes, but then gets mad.
