Photo #20 Oh, the things we'll do....

I (and I believe much of my family) like to pride myself on never really growing up.  This morning was a time of fun and creativity.  Couch cushions are amazing things.  Aside from simply sitting on them, they are also great for making forts, jumping on, sleeping on, and watching TV upside down.  I'm sure many of you parents know this.  Today, they became slides!  But, in our house, we just can't settle for a regular old couch cushion slide.  We make tube slides!!!  

Photo #19 Little Princess

While I am laying around the house feeling gross because I can't wash my hair, little Miss Molly continues to be the princess that she excels at being.  She likes to pick out her own clothes to wear but, every once in a while, I get lucky and am able to play a little dress up with her.  This morning was one of those lucky days.

Photo #18 Swim Lessons!!!

Since I'm not allowed to get in the water until cleared by my doctor, Jason had the pleasure of taking Jackson to his swim lesson.  I took advantage of Grandma's visit and went with them while she stayed home with Molly.  I was so excited to be able to take photos of my little fish!  Jackson really has no fear of the water (I'm not entirely sure this is a good thing), as you can see in the photos of him leaping into the pool.  Each time he got ready to jump, he would try to make Jason back up more and more.

He is currently working on his freestyle swim and his back stroke.  :)  Summer olympics, here we come!

Photo #17 Finally a chance to get outside!

Today had a blazing high of 44 degrees.  I was SOOOOO excited!  I just had to get the kids outside.  Since the grass was still wet, we just spent some time on bikes.  Jackson rode to the mailbox while Grandma pushed Molly on her tricycle.

We are looking forward to another blazing 47 degree high for tomorrow!  I can hardly wait!

Photo #16 Slumber Party!!!

Since Grandma is taking care of the kids while I am out of commission, we decided it would be good for her to be able to sleep upstairs to hear when the kids wake up.  Originally, I was going to move Molly's bed into Jackson's room and put an air mattress in Molly's room.

Eventually, I remembered how much Jackson loves to sleep in his blow-up sleeping bag.  So Jackson and Molly are having a slumber party in her room!  Molly sleeps in her bed while Jackson sleeps on the floor next to her.  They love being together.  Now, I just need to get Molly to stop talking to Jackson and Jackson to stop insisting he needs to go potty every ten minutes.

Photo #15 Story Time With Grandma!!!

Photo #14

I can hardly believe I have achieved two straight weeks of photo's!  My bigger challenge will come later this week when I'm all drugged up from my ear surgery.  But, as they say, "Where there's a will, there's a way."  I'll make it happen.

Yesterday, I purchased colored pencils for the kids, for the first time.  They are always excited to do any sort of craft.  It can be crayons, colored pencils, play-doh, or paint.

This afternoon, Jason took Jackson for a guys trip to Best Buy.  Being another busy Tuesday, I soon realized I had no photos for this blog, yet.  So, out came the color pencils for Molly!  Since I made the mistake of leaving "Olivia" on the television, the joy of coloring didn't really last long.  But I managed to get a couple cute shots.

Enjoy!!!
