A Day with Kids

Kherington is loving dressing up lately, so I figured I'd document day (it's actually one afternoon and the next morning) with the kids.  We have mess making, followed by Kevin stuck trying to get something out of the box.  Kherington trying on multiple stylish outfit combinations.  Kevin trying to steal part of her outfits (but not wanting to wear any of the dress-up stuff).

Kherington falling asleep at the dinner table...but notice she did eat everything but a few tomatoes.  We had dinner around 5pm and we were going to running errand that evening so I figured a short nap then was better than a short nap in the car later.  Kevin made a mess and had a great time doing it.  They were both wide awake and ready for clean-up time.  Ryan has been playing the Dora clean-up song on YouTube while they clean up which they love.

The next morning Kherington selected her own outfit for school (again).  As long as it's weather appropriate and it includes leggings/pants/shorts, I don't care too much.  Kevin was enjoying his pancake breakfast eating like a big kid NOT in the highchair.  After school we made some fruit loop / Cheerio necklaces.  I bought some plastic needles last time I was in the US and I just tie it onto the string so it can't fall off.  Definitely recommend it (Kevin even liked handing us cereal to put on...and dumped the box of Cheerios out, but I guess I'll just have to take the bad with the good.

So there you have it.  We do love to go places, but sometimes we do lead a normal at home life.  The kids are busy bodies and drive me crazy most of the time, but they're learning and that's what makes them fun :).
