Life at Our Home

Blogs serve all kinds of purposes including just letting your friends in on what's going on at the house...

The big kids finally crawled out of bed.....I just love having them home so it was hard to keep waiting for them to wake. I was tempted to let the little ones "play" outside their door, but decided I should just let them sleep.....cranky little kids is one thing, but cranky big ones? They finally drug their weary bee-hinds out to check their FaceBo**k......what we do without the hourly checks??

Notice Abi and Elizabeth in background...

So throughout the morning I found Tyler reading A Place Called Simplicity and saying: "I actually love reading the comments from the people mom, I like reading them more than reading your posts (thanks son)." So just in case you wonder if he reads them, apparently he does.

Then he laughed and said, "Some people think we are close as kids and having lots of fun, of course they can't see you holding a gun at us and making us smile." Whatever dude, whatever.

Someone in one comment (a few posts ago) asked if Tyler and Sarah are registered anywhere....he said, "Tell them at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's and Outdoor Gun." (See what depl*yments do to our brave men and women!)

I found Abigail and Elizabeth sitting on the counter where Abi was letting Elizabeth "do her make-up". Abigail said she will never speak to me again if I post these.....not to worry....she'll forgive me eventually.

Applying foundation...Following it up with some lipstick.....

Now rub your lips like this....

Tyler also said to tell everyone that he and Emma appear close in pictures because he is trying to keep the young gentlmen who have discovered his beautiful sister at an arms length. He is kidding, he and Emma have always been really close. Not sure why, but they both have similiar temperaments and have lots of fun laughing together.

All the big kids have gone off to do something so I decided to clean out cupboards. (I know, son's getting married in 2 days, but seriously those cupboards were driving me crazy!) Well Elizabeth, Isaiah and Liberty were coloring on the floor. I went to our room for just a minute and Liberty came to tell me that Elijah had emptied the can of spray oil on the floor. She was right. The full can is now empty and we are sliding around the room.

I grabbed a cloth to try to clean it up. I turned, while cleaning it up and here was what I now found our little boy-wonder doing....

Yes, that would be my two year old dynamo emptying a gallon jug of water on the floor. I am going to have to put my roller skates on to keep up with that boy!! He reminds me of Abi and Liberty - my two "curious and into everything other kids". It's not that the others didn't get into stuff, but Abi and Liberty gave me a run for my money...and now Elijah is following in his big sis's oily footsteps. Abi emptied a gallon of oil on my floor once-upon-a-time....

Trust your day at your home has been lots of fun too.....
