Nothing too exciting going on at our house this week. We've had some beautiful weather the last couple of days and went to the park on Sunday evening. Speaking of Sunday, Christian went to all of nursery for the first time!

Here is Faith after setting out a selection of stuffed animals and dolls in a storage tub "bed". Later, Christian got jealous of their comfy digs and sat in the storage tub to watch TV.





Our real animals discovered a comfy bed themselves. One of the kids had put my body pillow on the couch and Crumpet & Misty quickly figured out that it was a great place for a nap.




Is it mischief time yet? Of course it is at my house--24/7!! Here Christian's standing on a chair at the island (Faith, will you PLEASE put the chairs back in the living room after you have used them!!!!!) getting into the markers. Luckily, I caught him quickly and only the tip of his finger and edge of his mouth were blue. He seems to be quite pleased that he managed to decorate his hand and get a quick taste before I took them away!






Taking a quick break from his world of discovery and mayhem, he ponders his next move atop his mighty steed.








Faith has been reading up a storm and is enjoying every minute of it. She read all the books that her kindergarten teacher usually sends home with the kids, and now Mrs. Schaefermeyer has had to come up with some more advanced selections.







Here is Christian actually being a helper and letting the cat in for me.











Bet you couldn't guess that he ate ravioli for lunch!









And lastly, here is Faith today wearing a shirt that my mom just gave her. Faith could hardly sleep last night she was so excited about it!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dad who turned the big 6-0 yesterday!! We love you!!!
