Sidewalk chalk, Bath time, and Oatmeal cream pies!

Here we are again, for another week of fun activities.  Had some computer trouble and couldn't post last week.  Here's Gracie's artwork from last week.  I'm pretty impressed!
 Andrew drew a rainbow, Andrew style, but the pic didn't turn out.  But his cute smile did!
 Claire says "my turn with the camera!"
 Breakfast time is not complete without a car
 So Gracie cut her own hair a week or so ago.  Thankfully, her curls hide the damage, but I found 3 clumps in various places.  All in the bang area, so now it just looks like she has short bangs.  I guess all kids do it at some point, so hopefully this is it for us!
 Big girl in the bath! 
"Hey wait a minute, I'm ready to sit up here!"
 Baking....oatmeal cream pies.  They mixed and stirred, but of course licking the beaters is the best part!
 My cute helper!
 The finishe product, yummy!

The Sweetest Kids!

Well, here I go again! I've decided to give it a go and try to upload new pics of the kids each week. There's just so much fun every day stuff that I want to document and this seems like the best place to do it. I hope you will enjoy!
This morning the kids were busy playing and having fun, and Gracie wanted playdough. We were out, so I made some homemade. Andrew chose the blue food coloring. This recipe turns out great, and lasts for a super long time, longer than the storebought. And it's softer! I found it on pinterest at this site, http://anartnest.squarespace.com/home-made-play-dough/2009/4/19/home-made-play-dough-project.html.
Gracie has been wearing her "glasses" lately--too cute!
And we can't forget Claire bear! Andrew put some flavored chapstick on her yesterday, and she quite enjoyed ;)
The Claire-a-boo is also getting her 2 bottom teeth! She is the sweetest thing, and I just can't stand that she's growing up! Shedding a tear ;)
