He pulls to a stand- and tries to walk the edges!

Temporary tatoo

Ira's first-

She immediately made me wash off the forehead one... She said it felt funny when she made her airbemder face.

Exploring! And laundry;)

As we settle back in to our daily lives- everything is feeling easy, natural.

I asked Ira today if she would like to go to some homeschool groups, she said "not yet- home is so fun".

It makes me so happy that they can relax and be in charge of their days again!

Except for when they have to work. :)

These two are my little helpers. I usually have emers on my back, so I sort the laundry and they load and unload the machines.

They don't even HAVE to carry the supplies- they just love to... Sweet girls.










Miss independent unlocks doors now... My how they grow...













After laundry we went on a walk...

Liv really liked this sewer...













There were many puddles to be jumped in...













































Ira was telling me she thought she heard "tiny laughter... Like faeries"













She said it was coming from this tree....










Liv was soooo unsure if she thought she was excited or scared...












Then we were off again...
























Liv floating leaves...






The girls found some ants- and by some, I mean A LOT! We followed them for a bit- I asked where they thought they were headed and liv yelled "to find more FOOD!"
















We went home for lunch and the girls occupied emers while I cooked...









When Jared got home we had to run to the mall. The two littles fell asleep... But Ira and I got FROYO!

Painting Day!

A little faerie was seen darting around...


Emers was in an awesome mood...











His laugh is the best!


We unpacked the painting box!!!!!

watercolors...


tempera paint (with both hands)



mixed media... including some glow in the DARK paint :)

she was like an old bingo pro.... two pieces of paper, two paintbrushes, two different kinds of paint going at the same time...



feet became involved....
it was time to clean up when ira turned into jackson pollock. i admire the Abstract Expressionist movement... however- i do not particularly enjoy scrubbing vertical blinds for half an hour.... which i had to do today :) wasnt too big of a deal- half hour cleanup for hours of fun is worth it!

i also learned how to remove paint splatters from a screen door!

we moved indoors and on to oil pastels...ira is learning how to blend... she LOVES the kneaded rubber.

WATERMELON!

Many faces of play...

Liv having an idea... Her cuteness right now is infectious. She is sooo so silly! So fun.


Ira is forever building forts...


Phone conversations....


Dressing up....


Liv saying "my turn take a picture of you!"


Her picture of me...


More dress up...





Then a walk....
