Playin' around......

We have been having lots of fun playing at home lately. The kids have such a great time playing on the stairs together. They love to set up animals and knock them off. Michael loves to jump off the stairs and in my attempt to teach Emma to crawl DOWN the stairs she thought it would also be fun to fling herself from the top......yes, i nearly had a heart attack! But the smile on her face and the laughter coming from that little body was priceless.
Michael's new favorite activity is pulling weeds. A couple weeks ago we were all in the backyard helping daddy pull weeds and Michael couldn't get enough. Now poor Adam sits out there with him and pulls weeds even when he would rather just use the weed killer. It's cute watching the two of them together though. Michael will even get a bowl and fill it up with the weeds he has pulled throughout the day so he can show his daddy when he gets home from work. Adam makes a big deal about what a big helper Michael is and the little guy just glows from head to toe to have his daddy proud of him. :-) So cute!
Michael loves to have "art time" during the day. We color in our books, or draw pictures, etc. We were in our backyard and there were some leaves that had fallen off the tree. Michael collected them and I was trying to think what we could do with them. So we got some crayons and paper and I showed him how to make some art out of it. He added his own spirals and lines all over to decorate it and decided to give it to daddy. :-)
Emma is always trying to get into trouble. She LOVES water. We have to keep the bathroom doors closed cause she knows how to lift the lid off the toilet and have blast splashing around in the toilet. She tries to climb in the dishwasher to play with the left over water in the bottom and when it rains the little roller coaster in the backyard will sometimes get a puddle of water. The other morning she was out walking around and decided to crawl through the puddle and splash around for awhile. So cute! :-)
