singing

Grayson sang Mary had a little lamb tonight. He knows all the words and sings it a lot, but only if I ask him to. Tonight he sang it the regular version. The second time he sang it. it was the monster truck song but in the tune of Mary had a little lamb. He just said Monster Truck...Monster truck, etc. 

He is my little singer, yet he has to throw his own little twist on things. 

Earth Day

Well today is earth day and we have been for a while trying to be more "green" we recycle pretty much everything that come into the house. We talk about it and look for thing that are made with recycled materials. We are not perfect but we are trying to do better for this place that God created and let us care for. Today we finger painted pictures for earth day. Grayson is not one who likes arts and crafts but he did try this. He is much more interested in monster trucks, trains, sports, etc. Here are pictures of grayson this morning painting. And the girls painted after they came home from school and after homework. They are all great pictures. :)

Tornado Warning

We had a pretty bad storm Monday night. There were tornado warnings everywhere here. So we decided to hangout in the hallway and the kids bathroom. here are our photos. And yes the DS's came in very handy for our entertainment.  But thankfully we did not have any tornado's!

Apron Art

This will be the third time i have tried to write about these. The girls both got aprons and puffy paint in their Easter baskets. We wanted them to be creative and design them the way they wanted. Instead of trying to find ones already designed. They are wanting to help a lot more in the kitchen, so this was one way they could start helping, without messing up any of their clothes. And it was just fun. They both love to draw and enjoy art projects. Both girls drew out on paper what they wanted first before they began the paint. They asked for mom and dads help when they wanted it, but we just let them go and see what they could create. here are the artists at work. 

Park

Saturday the cousins all went together to my niece and nephew's school for a carnival. Here are some pics of the 6 after playing on the playground. later we went to my sisters and they actually played in the sprinkler with their bathing suits on. It was pretty warm. 

Warm weather fun

Here are some pics of the kids enjoying their Popsicles. Its has been getting warmer lately, They are sooo excited about the nice weather. they love to be outside. Our yard is big, but there is no shade, so it does get hot.

Gray and Bell turn 3

Grayson and Bella Jane had a carnival party together at the gym of Mel and Shawns church. Grayson turned 3 in March and Bella turns 3 this week. So we tried to have the party in the middle of the two dates.  We had two inflatables and lots of yummy food and cupcakes o coarse. The family came and also Bella Grace and Caroline. The kids played in the jumping castle, on the giant slide, and there were a couple of other games too. Here are some pictures of all the fun.

Dyeing Eggs

Granny came for a quick visit during Spring Break. We went to Busch Gardens, dyed our Easter Eggs and had a a lot of fun. Here are the kids working hard on their eggs. Grayson really enjoyed plopping the eggs into the cups, and only one broke because it rolled into Eden's chair. 

Grayson's Easter Program

Grayson goes to preschool one morning a week this year. His class sang two song at their Easter program and a few more with the other two classes. During the Christmas program he wouldn't even go on the stage. So for this one he did go on stage and sing some of the songs and actually did a few hand movements. We only took one picture because the battery was dead.
