Living the Life

I borrowed Jason's camera for a couple of days and got some cute pictures of the kids.  They are growing up too fast, can't believe Gwyn will be 7 in just a couple of weeks.  We are getting back into the groove of school and winter activities, Annie and Gwyn are doing gymnastics at the same time, Gwyn is playing basketball and continuing her jazz / hip-hop class and Girl Scouts, Jacob is gearing up for Spring baseball and playing basketball...oh and they all also go to school, ha!  Poor Jacob has had 5 days of testing in the last 7 days of school, he's ready for a break again!

 These girls are loving each other so much lately, they can't get enough of each other, I'm loving their bond!

 More sister pictures:

 While cleaning out some cabinets I found three crafts where you draw a picture and you send it off to get it put on a plate...I think I got these for the kids last Christmas.  The kids had fun and the plates came in the mail this week...new favorite plates that can't get washed fast enough to have them with the next meal!

 Buddies:

 This one...goodness!

 Gwyn doing the pose that Jacob does in all of her photos, look at how Annie is standing, ha!

 Brought back some memories when I got a winter coat out (since it went as low as 40 here one day), and in the pocket I found this baby pacifier...it was from a very long time ago, but Annie had fun playing with it for a little while, ha!

 Craft time, make your own necklaces!!

 Or headbands if you are Gwyn...loved hers!

 We brought out the sponge rollers again, the girls love them!

 Jacob requested fried chicken for dinner, after eating three legs, he still didn't get enough so went to work on a breast...what will I be feeding him when he is 15???

 Loved Annie's snowman, ha!

Gwyn's writing journal came home from school, love that she wrote a story about her brother:

 Too funny not to share, I asked Annie where Daddy was since he was missing from the picture (she is upstairs in her room), she just said, "I ran out of time."  Sorry Daddy, we'll catch you next time, ha!

Funny things the kids said this week:
Jacob:  How do you stand up to a bully without being a bully? (good question)
Annie describing a little girl on the bus:  She talked sassy! (seriously, you don't want to mess with a little girl who already has her teeth knocked out, she's got nothing to lose, ha!)
