Fun Random Pictures

I was going through a period of time where I couldn't get myself to sit and blog. Consequently I wasn't able to post a lot of pictures that show the funny things my kids have been doing. There are LOTS of pictures that I would love to put on here but I whittled them down to these few. This first one is of Eli's first day of Pre-School. He was really sad for the first few months of school when I would leave but now I can just drop him off and he is as happy as can be. He has made lots of friends and has one friend who likes to write him letters. The other day the letter had hearts on it. Then the next day her Mom came up to me and said she wanted to meet Eli because her daughter kept telling her that Eli is her, "BOYFRIEND." I about fell over when she told me that. Do 5 year olds know what that word means? Luckily when I asked Eli who Gwen was he said that she was just his friend. Thank goodness! I guess I understand though because who could resist this kid! (:

This picture of Mckenna is classic Mckenna! She loves spaghetti and it shows. I took this picture as fast as I could so that she wouldn't touch anything with those hands!
The kids wanted to watch a movie, so I set up the little DVD player for them in the front room. We took the couch cushion off the couch and they snuggled in together to watch Planet 51. Well after about 30 minutes I came in and found not only the kids watching a movie but also Eli's little cars and planes were watching too.


I got this idea from Gina Goodrich when she did it for her girls. They looked like they were having so much fun that we had to try it. The kids and I covered the table with blankets and then I put more blankets and pillows inside. Eli grabbed cars and Mckenna got lots of books and they played and played. The kids loved it! So much so that we have done it several more times since.
This last picture is my favorite. Since the kids are both big now this picture is the last one I took of them in the bath together. Keith and I were in the other room and all we could hear were the kids squeals of laughter. So I grabbed the camera and this is what we saw.
I love that my kids like to play and have fun together. I hope they can stay that way forever!

Those are fun pictures! I love the bath tub one, and that little nest you made under the table looks cozy enough that I'd like to crawl in too!

Your kids are so cute! Glad you had fun with the table tent! My girls just love to play with their blankets. Their newest trick is sliding down the stairs in their sleeping bags. Not sure if you're willing to try that one, but the girls have a ball doing it!

Cute pictures. I love the ones of Eli's car watching the movie with them. Such good imaginations. I also loved the letters on the faces. Your kids are adorable.
