Creative Time

Since Brighton has been born, we haven't gotten out much.. This has led to many a creative moments at home!! We've had fun doing all sorts of great stuff. Reading books, watching movies, coloring pictures were fun for a while, but started getting the "been there done that" attitude. So we decided to spice it up a little bit! From "Shaving Cream Art" to homemade mini golf in our family room... we've had lots of fun the last few weeks.

Identity Crisis

So as you can see, we've got a little bit of an identity crisis going on at our home right now.
As you can see beautiful little Avery in her very "girly" dress looked so cute on Sunday. When we got home from church, she turned into Lara Croft... She was running around the house going "boom, boom, boom" and chasing Brian and Kaden with a gun!! (Just when you think they are going to be so petite and feminine)


Now for Kaden...
Here's the thing. I don't usually enjoy painting my sons fingernails, but Avery was getting her weekly manicure (see... she's really girly most of the time). And Kaden came in and said, "I sure wish my fingers were red". I tried to explain that only girls got their fingernails painted but he continued to tell me how much he loved red. So we decided to give it a shot. So there we were... Kaden sitting on the table, me painting MY SONS fingernails and toe nails (Oh dear)... As he was about done, I told him he couldn't touch anything because his fingers were still wet. The first thing he said, "But mom... how will I push my dump truck?"
At least I know he's still mostly boy. Infact, after he had the nail polish on for a few hours I think he realized it wasn't all that cool and he wanted it taken off! Thank goodness!!!

Who fits better? Avery or Brighton???

It's a little hard to decide who fits better in this swing... Avery- way to big, but Brighton? he fell over the other day and I found him at the base of the swing. I guess he's a little too small. Pretty cute all the same.

Avery has reverted back to a baby and she thinks she's pretty funny!!
She never took a pacifier while she was little, but now she walks around with one in her mouth and giggles. She also loves to sit in Brighton's swing. If she wasn't so darn cute, I would have to get mad at her, but I just can't bring myself to tell her she's too big to sit in it.







This is her newest look. Every time you tell her no to something, or if she's disgusted for some reason she glares at us like this. It makes me laugh everytime! It's like she's trying to prove that she's tough... but just can't quite pull it off.
All I can say is that two year olds always keep you entertained.

It's beggining to look alot like Christmas

The kids were so excited to wake up and see what "suprise" was outside. Kaden's first words were... "Now we get to go skiing!!!!"
We have had a lot of fun this morning playing in the snow. After an indoor snowball fight started by Brian (boys will be boys) we decided to take the festivities outside.

Halloween Fun

Kaden was a rocketship this year although many people thought he looked the the pope. Avery was adorable as a little black witch.
They figured out the getting candy thing pretty quick! After only two houses, Avery would hold her hand out and say, "nanny" when neighbors would open the door.
Kaden kept an ongoing tally of how many Reeces Peanut Butter Cups (his fav) he got throughout the night.
Needless to say... I think they had a pretty fun night.
