Sick Day

I am sick and out of it for ONE day and this is what I get for it. Luckily, I have a fantastic husband who helps with things like this. Today was a better day, but only because there isn't much that could be worse than yesterday;) I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be back to my normal self.

Being sick makes you realize how wonderful it is to feel good. If we never felt miserable, we'd never know what feeling awesome was like! Isn't it nice that we can have little reminders to help us better appreciate our everyday blessings;)

Yesterday

I took these pictures during "Dora" time yesterday. If you can't tell, we are avid Dora the Explorer fans:)

On the episode we watched yesterday, Dora and her friends would sing, "Rain, rain, go away! Come again some other day!". Kaylee got super into it and sang and clapped her hands enthusiastically every time. I love when my girls do stuff like that:)

I made whole wheat applesauce muffins that ended up looking like whole wheat applesauce donuts.  I HAVE to remember that crumble topping NEVER works when I try it.  Fortunately, they were sooooo tasty that it didn't matter how ugly they were.

And lastly, these lovely flowers have graced our home for the last couple of days. I just HAD to take a picture;)

Overheard

As Kaylee knocks over Lily's blocks:

Lily: "Kaylee! Look what you have done!"

Kaylee: "Are you proud of me?"

Lily: "No, I'm not! I'm mad at you."

Kaylee: "I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?"

                "Do you forgive me, Lil?"
          
              "Do you forgive me yet?"

Poor Kaylee is still waiting for her forgiveness from Lily. We are working on being repentant and forgiving in our home;)

I love when this happens...

She had been taking a nap on the couch. When she woke up and realized I was no longer there, she came to where I was sitting at the table and resumed her nap:)

Some Photos

On Saturday I got to take pictures for my friend Sarah. I had never done family portraits before and I was nervous and short on ideas(to the extreme). Luckily, they were forgiving:) I think we got some pretty cute ones. Here are my favorites.

Happy Birthday to Zach

For those of you who don't have the pleasure of knowing my darling brother let me tell you a little bit about him. Zachary Randall is my younger brother (1 year, 6 months, and 26 days to be exact) He was my first sibling and how grateful I am that he entered my life! Zach is a lover of nature, rocks, and Irish accents. His talents include backflip (on hard flat ground!), jumping off stuff, skateboarding, playing the guitar, and melodic vocals. He speaks spanish and is fluent in the pirate dialect. Happy Birthday Dear Brother!!!
