The kids have discovered the video camera...they've made up skits and recorded all kinds of crazy stuff the last couple days. I believe Benjamin has taken it the farthest...yesterday he recorded his day-in-the-life (until the battery ran out!)
a couple examples...breakfast
haircut :)
he videos everything. he even started getting creative and would start and stop the video camera over and over while, for example, videoing me reading. the effect was super cool! You have to sometimes wonder if these small bits of interest will ever manifest to something in their adulthood, or if it just is a passing childhood phase of just learning.
Yesterday, Ashlyn made a little nook in her room to sit and read or watch a DVD. I found her searching through her bible for verses on love for a couple of signs that she wanted up on the wall around her nook. She found some really good ones! i just love her.
I found this fire bowl at Target during the winter on clearance for $35. I've been wanting a fire pit for a LONG time....i had to get it! We finally broke it out last night and made S'more's with the kids. So fun! It's such a great way to enjoy the long days outdoors this time of year. We started around 8:15, and it didn't get dark til around 9:30ish. LOVE IT.
Isn't it amazing how mesmorizing fire is? we all sat around and watched it for a long time. all the sparks and cracking and popping...the smell...i just love it so much.
how much longer will he let me do this?? i literally soak in every moment.
Those pictures of Adam cuddling Ashlyn & You cuddling Ben are the sweetest! Momma's boy and Daddy's girl!
