Well this past week Jared decided to sell his little beat-up car (one that we've put as much money into as we paid for it) and get a new car. He found a great deal on a beautiful Honda Accord and fell in love. He washes it weekly and cleans it out religiously.
It's a pretty little car and he's a happy man!
The weather last week was ridiculously nice and we spent mornings and afternoons playing outside and soaking up the sun. One day was warm enough the the kids Painted with Water!
They painted on everything, but loved every second of it. I love when the most simple things entertain them. And these days I'm pretty uncomfortable so I just sit in my little camping chair and watch them play. It's a good situation for all of us.
In an effort to make our backyard seem like a cool place to be, I found a playhouse for the kids. Dallin especially enjoys this new addition to our yard. He plays in it for hours with different toys and imaginative scenarios. It's paid itself off already in my mind, plus it was a garage sale purchase!
Another garage sale purchase: An Easel! The preschool teacher in me just couldn't help myself, and the kids don't seem to mind :) They loved painting and coloring on it...Elsie especially enjoyed this, but didn't limit her paint to the paper, she decorated the entire easel...
I don't think she cares much for boundaries!
We played and played last week, and with no naptime anymore Elsie tends to be a little bit hot-headed! One afternoon she threw a giant tantrum, screamed for 20 minutes and then climbed up on my lap and fell asleep for half an hour. Poor thing doesn't quite know how to handle it all!
Warm weather made for a easy week and a lot of fun!
