Lately we've been doing some painting around our house. Not painting the walls, but Drew and Kate have gotten into some painting. Jana pulled out some of my old shirts, got the kids well covered, and let them have at it with the paints.
Kate didn't get the real deal, but instead got to dabble a little with watercolors. Much easier to clean up!
For a while now we've been praying with Drew in his bed before he goes to sleep. Several months ago we started including Kate in this part of our nightly routine. We read a story and have a snack on the couch, then at the end of the story, Kate runs to Drew's room yelling, "Jesus!" As you can tell, they have tremendous fun sitting on Drew's bed and praying together with us.
Since I've last posted we've had some snow here in the Lansing area and the kids have helped me shovel several times. Here they are all bundled up for the weather and helping me shovel. Kate uses Drew's small spade and Drew uses his snow shovel. They're very helpful :)
This is probably the oddest looking snowman you'll see, so we had to take a picture of it. It has two crackers for "googly" eyes and a carrot nose. It was so cold out the day after we built this that I wet the carrot a little and it froze into the snowman. Drew was quite proud of this creation and commented on it every time we pulled into the driveway.
Jana and I have been enjoying some of the simple pleasures in life. One we try not to enjoy too often is Quality Dairy's "Death by Chocolate" ice cream. It is pure deliciousness. A pleasure we enjoy every single night is checking in on Drew and Kate sleeping. We never can get enough of that!!
A cold, snowy girl coming in from helping me shovel. You can't see her hood, but it was filled with snow. Drew gets a little crazy with his shoveling and doesn't always look to see where the snow is going!
A toy went under the stove and we had to rescue it.
Is Kate wearing her heels? Why yes, she is. Kate got these play shoes and wears them all around the house. How that can be comfortable, I have no idea.
Kate's hair is finally getting long enough to do things with it. At daycare, her favorite thing is to get her hair put up in a "pony," which is her shorthand for ponytails. She loves having her hair done and will walk around the house saying, "Pony. Pretty. Pony. Pretty."
Here's another attempt at a photo of Kate's hair. We tried FOREVER to get these two shots. Finally, we gave up and just enjoyed playing with her.
After giving up on photos, I tried taking this video. Kate's hair is highly amusing to us, so we are trying to show it off as best we can. Enjoy!
