The Icing on top

Most days are routine.
Most days are laundry, cleaning up messes, nap time, more laundry, and hanging out together.
But occasionally we get to add some icing to this delicious cake life!



Snowflake day! The house was relatively clean so I decided to have a themed afternoon. We made snowflake quesadillas out of tortillas for lunch. The kids colored snowflakes and used glitter glue. The crafty fun ended when Kathryn spilled the entire bottle of glitter...oh well...it's the icing on top right?







I took a 1/2 day sub to accompany Carter on his pre-school field trip. He has a field trip once a month but they are always on Thursdays! I work on Thursdays! But when Ms. Debee told me that Carter was the "only" one not coming on the field trip I decided to be a mom on Thursday instead of just a teacher. We went to the Kangaroo Zoo in North Salt Lake. It was a pretty fun activity. Kathryn was scared to death of the bouncy toys until about 15 minutes before we were leaving. Carter had a good time. He loved the slides and the air tee-ball. He was coughing so hard because he was running around with all his little friends. (I think we have a bit of asthma coming our way!) It was cute to see him interact with the other children. I also really enjoyed playing "mom" and visiting with the other mothers.


Kathryn loves to play with her tea sets. The other night, Carter was out with Ryan, Kelly, and Dean so it was just me and my babies. (Chris was at work...surprised?) I was able to really focus on Kathryn and play with her. We were have a tea party and she insisted on calling "Papa." When on the phone, she asked him to have a tea party with her. She was pouring the tea cup into the phone. Being the great grandpa that he is, he and grandma came over for the tea party. Bringing cookies and tea (a.k.a. Diet Coke). It was such a sweet gesture. Carter has such a strong personality so I find myself often focusing on him. I need to spend more time playing with Kathryn. She has such a cute little personality. The ironic thing about this picture is we were discussing how her hair was growing so good. The next day is when her hair cut happened.

And we can't forget playing with Bumble! This is Kimball and Hayes rolling around on the floor together. Hopefully they will be good friends!
