Spending more time playing with our children. We run, we turn into animals, we climb, we laugh (oh boy do we laugh!). We have learned that our children are hilarious. They have the ability to have us caught in fits of laughter. Last night during playtime they were running around singing and dancing Katy Perry's "Firework" while wearing plastic toy bins on their heads...it was a sight. We are also thrilled that when family visit they not only respect the "playtime" but they join in!
We got a new camera!
I am sure love of taking pictures is part of my inner makeup thanks to my momma. I will say though I am not about ready to head out at an ungodly hour to stand in poison ivy to capture that perfect pic (sorry mom..not quite there yet :P) Having said that..I love love love capturing people pictures. I love getting giggles and painting memories through photos. I have been researching and experimenting with the help of my camera savy family and friends (thank you all for the patience in explaining ISO and shutterspeed to me multiple times!)
Less hours at work more at home:
G and I made the decision to drop the half day of work I had been doing on Fridays. As much as I love my job, I love my children so much more and am very blessed to be in a position to work less hours and spend more time with my kids. I will soak up every extra hour I can get with them.
Party planning:
Miss Av has a birthday coming and
Valentines Day!
I love the 14th! Not because of the hallmark part of the holiday; I feel like we express love for each other all year round and do not need an excuse to do so... however I am a big fan of pink so how could I not love it? Kaiden and I headed out Wednesday to chose his Valentine cards. I loved this part of school when I was a kid and was excited for him to choose. He smiled shyly telling me about which ones he couldn't wait to give out. We planned some Valentine treat ideas and cannot wait to put them together.
Kiddy milestones:
Kaiden has been printing, printing and more printing. He loves to practice writing notes to us and drawing and labeling pictures. He has been working hard at reading and has read his bedtime story to us several times! We love the I can read books which are very helpful for beginning readers. Kaiden is looking forward to spring because he LOVES easter and he can't wait to plan his birthday party, which he decided will be a halloween party! We figure if he wants a halloween party in May..a halloween party we will do! Kaiden rocked a new style this month and went for a "fohawk"
Avarie is getting more and more vocal. She has been putting more words together and loves to say "come on" and "I want to go downstairs" "there it is!" "all done" and more! Something really funny she has been doing is talking like a "monster". She talks in a "growly" voice and has us in fits of laughter! She has gone through a growth spurt and is so close to turning 2! She is also still her busy adventurous self..climbing, climbing and more climbing. She keeps us on our toes!
Off to watch Mickey with my girl but I will end with a morning picture...who doesn't love a peanut butter face??
