Bath~time is still her favorite time of day. She would stay in there for an hour if she could...as it is, we push it 'til the water gets cool. 
Beautiful Boy....I just don't think I can ever live without a doberman...they're so sweet.
Catching Some Air
They were super happy the sun was out & it hit 41 degrees today; they played outside for a good hour....they really needed it!
I got out my camera today & Caleigh headed to her room; she wanted me to take her pictures with all of her things today...so cute!
"This is MY bed!" I'm grateful she still loves her crib; she's never tried to climb out. Ever. She calls me after her nap & in the morning "Mommy...me ready get out. Me 'wake" Sweet girl!
Giggles
Deep In Thought...not really...she was done looking at the camera! She informed me this Little People House was her purse today!
James took the kids with him for the morning & put C down for a nap while I got a hair~cut....it was so nice to take a shower without interruptions! You can tell the boys dressed themselves....Bryce be stylin'!
I usually drink a cold D~Pepsi every morning, but some mornings I am oh so glad to see this baby! Our electricity was off from 2-4 am & I could not go back to sleep worrying about how I was going to keep the kids warm should it be off for a while....I finally went back to sleep around 5 am & then was up again at 7:30....I NEEDED coffee today!!!
It was "fort" & "spy" day today.
Spy Gear!
HELLO!
.....you know what we made today....????
YUM! Rice Krispie Treats are always an easy hit!
Caleigh's new 'bling bling' shoes she got from her Mommy on Christmas Day.
A "C" for Caleigh of course! A friend of mine makes these & sells them in her shop....I think the first 6 months of having Caleigh home & not being able to buy her shoes to wear has thrown me into shoe obsession! Well...that's my story & I'm sticking to it!
Caleigh & "her doggie". She refers to Bella now as "my doggie". It's so true & where you find one, you'll find the other. Always.
Little birdie on my front porch
Spoiled doberman who steals my shoes & sneaks on my bed
Silly girl who stayed in her pajamas all day
Talking to the animals! (She's probably telling them what to do!)
...oh, and have I mentioned this week that we LOVE letter tiles? I did....oh well! We separated the vowels out today & did races with our spelling words. It was fun & they were amazed how much quicker they could spell with the letters divided. We've ordered more tiles....they want to make up their own games with them & sometimes there just isn't enough of one letter. Getcha some! On~line at www.christianbooks.com (Love that site for homeschooling supplies by the way!)
hahaha...some remnants of 'school'....Bryce was covering his paper from Blake (who was on the opposite end of the table! ha! & It wasn't even a test!) Oh & I have no idea why C's red shoe is on the table!
Caleigh having a snack while the boys worked...
Snuggled together for reading time first thing in the morning....Junie B. Jones is a hit with all 3. Thanks to my neighbor, we're stocked for a few more weeks!
I try not to make big New Year's Resolutions because I am really bad at following through. So, this year I decided I have quite a bit on my plate with homeschooling & I picked an easy resolution & am sticking to it! Giving my kids more to do around the house. I've been really bad in the past to just do it myself because then it's done the way I like...I know, personal problem! Anyway, my resolution is for everyone to make their own beds nicely every morning (including my own). It just makes the rooms look cleaner even when they're cluttered. Also, each boy has a chore list for the week...ok...it's not really a "list". They each choose 3 chores out of a hat for the week & then we'll add different ones & switch around every Friday. They post them on their doors & believe it or not, I haven't had to remind them at all so far to do their chores. I'll chalk week 1 of the new year up as a success!
Caleigh loves to 'play' the piano....
....she crawls up & plays "her song"...whatever that may be~!
Blake this morning with his braces on.....
Blake this afternoon....Braces Off!!! HOORAY!!! Now we wait 9 months to a year for some more of his permanent teeth to come in. He will have a full set of braces put back on when his teeth are ready; this set was just on the top 4 permanent teeth to get them in line & make room for some more! He was excited; you would have thought it was Christmas morning again!
