Builder Emma and Builder Bryce

Emma and Bryce help put the finishing touches on our latest project.

Science Time With Emma

   I was throwing a babyshower for a friend and the theme was butterflies.  We decided to actually hatch butterflies and but them around her garden during the party.  So we ordered some catapillers and watched the process happen right before our eyes!  I had 2 baskets at my house and every morning the kids would get up to see if anything had happened.  You try to explain things but you just never know if they are really listening. 
  Yesterday I was trying to get some of my work done and Emma was underfoot, so I gave her 3 pieces of papers and told her to go draw me something.  This is what she drew and how she explained it.  To me, I thought it was AMAZING!  She did it all on her own with no help or supervision from me!  Smart girl!

                                                   First the caterpillar climbs up a tree.

                                Second, it lays in a sealed coccoon, and you know what happens?

                                   Then, it cracks open. And it was a pretty, pretty butterfly!

                                                               The End

Prepare to blast off at Pizza Planet!

Countdown to fun!

The midnight sleep snacker

At 3 am last night Donnie heard Bryce wake up. Eventually he went downstairs to see how he was doing. He was a little surprised by what he found! He found Bryce asleep in the big chair and in his little hands were a container of vanilla frosting!!! But he wasn't just holding the container he had it opened and with his fingers stuck in it!!! Looks like he got a few licks too!
Time to lock up the pantries and the refridgerator we have a Midnight Sleep snacker!!!!

Emma Philosophy

Shopping at Target.
Me: "Emma do we have this Wallace and Grommit?"
She studies the movies for a few seconds really hard and then says,
Emma: " Nope....that means we can buy it!!!" and throws it in the cart! Then proceded to explain if we have it we can't buy it but if we don't then we can!
hahahahahaha.....I really hope that isn't the case for I don't have the room in my house to buy 1 of everything in this world!

St. Patricks Day...Green eggs and Ham....and potatoes....and peas....and milk!

Happy St. Patty's Day!! Emma was so excited to dress in all green today! When she came home from Bright Start she said that the leprechaun makes messes! It was so cute! I decided to attempt to make Green Eggs and Ham for the kids as Donnie was working late. I wanted them to have these cute memories of Mommy doing fun things for them! So I went to work! It was fun and easy to make but it kindof looked gross in the end...but tasted good.

Emma thought it was "yuckie" at first and wasn't willing to try it!

But as soon as Emma knew it as the leprechaun that had made the dinner, she was willing to try it. Though she saw me make it, I love this age!

Bryce, yet again, woke up sick. So he didn't eat all day and slept a great nap. But he couldn't turn down his favorite....HAM.

But he didn't want to try anything else at first!

Neither did Emma! But she gave it a Green light!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! Hammmmmmmm! By the end, they were so excited that they called Daddy and told him everything. Emma said in her prayer, "Thank you Mr. leprechaun for making messes and yummy green dinners!" She said that it was her favorite dinner ever! Bryce....well....he just asked for more ham!

Rainbow cupcakes!

I had saw this recipe in a fun family magazine and had to try it! This is a several layered color cupcakes. It was messy to make but adorable!

Yum, Yum! We made some for a friend who found out they were having a boy!
