"Letters are awesome."
-Isla
We always love it when we look at the camera and find out the kids were taking pictures with it. Amongst the pictures of air vents, the TV, and several doors, we found these pictures of Isla having fun with Mommy’s hat.
Speaking of Isla, she got in a mode this week of wanting to help pick things up around the house. We aren’t sure why. Our best guess is that she is trying to balance the level of destruction she’s caused, but if that’s the case she has a lot more work to do.
Ashlyn has progressed from her small one room house to a multi-story home. It’s still a work in progress, but she’s spending a lot of time populating the rooms with all manner of miniature items. Grandma came over to drop something off this week and was able to give Ashlyn some artistic direction, which was much appreciated.
We have started up a few winter sports. For Ashlyn, it’s back to gymnastics and this time Isla is joining her. On the first day of class Isla went right off with the teacher without an ounce of nervousness. She did well enough that they are placing her in the Intermediate class. I think she learned a lot from her big sister. James has opted for karate. We went to one trial class and he insisted that we sign him up right away. Now we have to keep him from practicing on his sisters.
We also got to spend this weekend building the Saturn V Lego set. James was a great helper and was excited to show off the finished product to everyone in the house. If only we could find a place to put it.
