Childs Play

My children are so much fun!! I love all the funny things they do to entertain themselves. I thought I better blog a few so, I will not forget them.

I have no idea where they come up with this stuff but, whenever we drive down a hill in our car, one of them yells out, "Hold your breath!" Then everyone, including Mom and Dad hold their breath until we have made it down the hill.

Another game they love to play in the car is this. They will pick an object, for instance Christmas lights or construction zones, each time someone spots one of these objects, they say, "Yeah!" or if there are no such item they say "Awwww" this will continue basically nonstop for the duration of our drive.

My little Eden LOVES to pretend she is the mom. She will tell me, "I am the mom and you are the sweetie."

The kids newest pastime is picking out a character in whichever show they are watching and claiming to be them. For instance, Aidan will say, "I am Tyrone." Ember will yell, "I am Paoblo." Eden says "I am Uniqua." And someone says, "Mom you are Tasha." Then for the length of the show they will claim to do whatever their character is doing. "I am wearing a green hat." or 'I just made you shrink."

I am certain I am not doing their little games justice but, they sure do crack me up!

Valentines Day

Valentines Day is an extra special day at our house being that is is also our anniversary.
This year was especially fun for me because it was my kids who really got me in the swing of it. I had no real intentions of doing much (especially since Tony and I had celebrated our anniversary a little early) but, as I about to put out the cereal this morning, the kids insisted that we HAD to have heart shaped breakfast. So, I relented. I made pink heart shaped pancakes.
By lunch time, I was getting into it. We had heart shaped grilled cheese sandwiches, veggies with heart shaped ranch drizzle and pink milk. I really should have taken pictures of everything but, somehow that just wasn't a priority. I did, however, manage to have Tony take a couple pictures of dinner. Even the decor was a HUGE hit with my kids.


Love that smile!
Lights out. Its candle time!
Ems loved the heart shaped Jello!
What a sweet kid.
Eden really was happy. I promise. Here is a pic of the kids heart shaped pizza.

Asha...ready for dinner.



Our veggie pizza. One of our favorites. For the adults.


I have to admit, My kids really helped kick me into gear for valentines this year. I LOVE that they LOVE it.
