Random Pictures

Again, not too much going on these days except the regular weekly shuffle. Last weekend was a fun one though. We experienced Ghatti Town for the first time last Friday. Overall the experience was a great one, and I am sure we will go back in the future. Both Collin and Brantlee were able to ride some fun rides (with the help of mommy and daddy, of course. ) Collin thought he was big enough to play some of the games. Brantlee thought she was big enough to run through the arcade unassisted. So you can imagine what I did for most of the evening ;)

Last Saturday night was the Miss America pageant, and I hosted an all-girl night with some old friends (with the exception of two handsome young men who joined us). Brantlee chose to watch the pageant at her Lolly's house and assume the role of "only child," which she completely LOVED might I add. For some reason I just didn't take very many pictures :(

Collin helped me make pink rice crispy treats.

Karsen and Collin were far more into the rotel than the pageant,

thank goodness!

Brantlee's New Love! Jewelry!

This girl can't get enough of mommy's jewelry box. In a desperate attempt to get dressed one morning, I introduced her to some of my inexpensive jewelry... and she has yet to let me forget about it. Every time she spots the box, she screams until I give in and let her play. She just giggles the whole time she explores and tries on her new finds.

This picture is a framer! Just girls being girls!

Shh... don't tell Daddy that Collin kind of likes it, too ;)

The other evening we were in the kitchen after dinner, and we noticed that Brantlee had slipped off into another room (which isn't at all uncommom). After a few minutes we noticed it was awfully quiet- never a good sign in the toddler world. I peeked in her room, but I didn't see her at first. Then I realized she was perched in the glider with Daisy beside her, watching the Wiggles. It was really so sweet. Kyle has even walked in while Brantlee was "reading" her books with Daisy in this same chair.

In other news.......

Does anyone else have a kitchen that looks like this ???

This picture is so funny to me. Let's see, we have school papers that need to be graded and filed but are scattered across the bar, a Foreman grill and ingredients left over from dinner, a broom propped in the corner (so apparently I planned to sweep that day), and sippy cups and toys in the most random places. I would like to say that this photo is evidence of my ability to multi-task, but I am afraid it proves that I suffer a little from ADD. And I am totally fine with this! Tis the season of life right now ;)
