The kiddos after eating some icee type ice cream. Makes you wonder what they put in that stuff.



I found these magician hats at a yard sale after Jackson found some magic wands. It's a lot of fun to watch them play with them. Maggie puts hers on and says "silly 'at".

Maggie is starting to get very interested in books so we are trying to add reading into her bedtime routine. Usually it doesn't go over well because she's too tired. Oh well :)

We had alot of fun projects tonight. We had some boxes out so that led to box racing on the kitchen floor.......

Then I used a box to make Jackson a shield so he could be a knight and save princess Maggie (his words :) )

After Maggie went to bed, Jackson and I worked on "the map". Jackson has started to ask a lot of questions about where people live and how we can visit them so we bought a large map to mark where everyone lives and add their pictures so he can start to get a sense of it all. I thought we could use the Christmas cards and pics that everyone usually sends - so we started with last years and we will update to this year as they come :) Hint, hint!!

Today I spent most of the day cracking walnuts - as I do everyday right now - and this evening we did yard work. Matt worked on the leaves while I mowed. It's nice to have it done. The kids are going to bed early since they are adjusting to the time change.
