still more

more kiddos

These were a couple more from our attempt the other day. I usually like it when girls have there shirts on for pics but I just liked her happy face in this one. This was after she had spilled chocolate ice cream on her clothes at Jenna's house and had to run around in a diaper which is not a rare occasion for her. It had been so hard to keep clothes and Yes and diaper on her this summer.
She just loves to take her clothes off and put them back on but usually just leaves them off. She is very independent in that she has put her own shoes and socks on for a while and can dress herself but only if she wants to. Now this is not that big of a deal until you realize that my 5 year old just started dressing himself and putting on his shoes LAST YEAR. I still find myself helping him if i need it to be quick because he is no hurry to do it himself. It's not that he couldn't do it but just that he would refuse to and he is probably one of the most stubborn kids i have ever met ( but that is a whole other post) and I always give in and just help him. So having Emma get her own shoes on and be able to dress herself is just nice. Except when people show up at the door and the two year old runs up completely naked. That.......is just what happens sometimes.

This one turned out as my favorite.

I love these summer days of doing whatever we want.
Last week we decided to head over to my sis. house. She moved a couple months ago and we don't get to see her or baby Luke as often as we used to. So we met them for lunch and then spent the rest of the day destroying her house and taking pics of Luke.
Emma loves to mother Luke and boss him around and Luke liked Emma when she was feeding him ice cream.

This is how it goes down.........


I get her ready,
look at her and think that she looks kind of cute.
I call her in to the room with great light where
she finds me with the camera

She immediately gives me the look...........

and leaves........ the end.

actually I follow her into the other
room with not so great lighting where her
dad is and he gets her to smile and forget about the camera.

*and yes Cindy I know my settings are way off.
I accidentally left it on AV from when I was playing
with it and forgot when i grabbed the camera.
It ruined what would be cute pics.

*These cups have been a great source of entertainment for my kids and their friends this summer


* It has been well worth the $10.00

*I am in need of some fun creative indoor activities.

What keeps your kids busy during these hot afternoons??
