I can't resist a good tent making day! Sure you can hardly walk in our living room, but it is a great cave for reading and playing! Hours and hours of fun!
It isn't that uncommon to now find Bryson sitting in chairs and getting into things that he really shouldn't be getting into. He loves digging through the desk drawer and finding items I didn't know we had. He still loves carrying around tiny objects, the tinier the better! He also likes to find the right size pencils and pens and drop them through the cane seat of the chair. Ellery then comes running trying to find her papers and pencils that Bryson isn't allowed to have, which then turns into our everyday situation. Bryson wants what Ellery has or anything that is hers! She loves pink therefore Bryson loves pink. He is biased to anything she shows a preference for. She is starting to figure the system out. Give Bryson what she has, go find something else so he will want that, he then drops what she originally had, and goes for the second object, she then gives it to him willingly. He now has something that she just had, but she got back what she originally wanted.
This is my new play pin and it works for all parties involved unless someone turns on the water. Which then it only works for the contained parties and not so much for the mommy who was trying to get ready!
I don't think I have to say much here. It puts my parenting skills to the test. Thank goodness my older two are good kids because this one is really on the move!
Our neighbors next door moved and had some bibs they gave Ellery that they had left over from a gag gift. Their trash was her treasure. She has been a mother hen taking care of her babies. They were all hungry and needing assistance at the exact same time. Thank goodness we had enough bibs to keep them all clean!
A pro to having family that own a coffee shop is that we can get a real sacks for races. The kids fit in these sacks and love crawling into them to hide. I then pick up my sack of beans only to find out a child is inside! They also love trying to have sack races in the basement. They are beginning to figure out if they position their feet correctly in the sack they can take baby steps rather than jumping across the room! 
A sure way to get your kids to play with toys is to box them up and bring them out. It fools them and they think they are new toys OR bring out the old toddler toys. I am not sure who loves playing with all the new/old toddler toys more? I think it might be Bryson if he could ever get a turn?
I was exchanging emails with a friend and she mentioned getting together to "water slide". I finally clarified on what water slide we were going to meet up at, I was thinking of leaving Bryson with a sitter if it was going to be a water park adventure. She sent me a picture of this monstrosity, that she has in her yard. We just had water day at our house and then go to a friends house for this water day! Thank goodness we did our water day prior to this one!
We decided to have water day at the house again. Nothing like hooking up the old slip and slide and putting it at the bottom of our play structure slide. The kids love it. I need to go get myself a shepherds hook so I don't have to hold the hose or drench myself as I wrap it around the play structure to shoot down the slide. They also love jumping on the trampoline with water spraying everywhere!
As we are eating breakfast and I want to talk to everyone at the table.
Not much to explain here. Surprise surprise, Ellery loves dressing up. She does have a strong desire for the Belle costume. I think she likes it because I don't buy her anything yellow.
