Yes, I really do supervise around here...

So today I was folding clothes in my room while the girls were jumping on couch cushions on the ground. I had made it very clear (or so I thought) that they could only jump on the floor.

They were giggling and jumping, and then all the sudden I could tell from the way they were talking to each other that they had moved onto something MUCH more exciting. As I turned the corner I saw Willa perched on TOP of the chair and she immediately launched herself off and landed right on the couch cushion. I told her she was not allowed to do that EVER AGAIN, but to do it just a couple more times so that I could take a picture. :) I will say though that she nailed every landing!!




We hosted playgroup at our house this week. Some other stay-home moms and I get together each week and let the kids play while we talk. Here's everyone in our dining room-slash-art room.

Look out-Larkin can now cut with a REAL knife! We made peach/raspberry jam the other day and she loved cutting up some of the fruit. She loves to cook and is always asking how to make different things. Now when she asks to make things she always says, "If we make that, do we need to use a knife? I can do it!!"
The girls in their "campsite." Their definition of a campsite: run around the house and grab as many things as you can-hopefully without Mommy noticing...pile it all somewhere and jump on it. They did this DAILY for about a week. I still have yet to find the novel I was reading--I know they put it in a campsite somewhere around here!!!! This picture really does not do justice to the amount of stuff they pile up. One day they literally took every single article of clothing out of Willa's closet--hangers and all!

Almost everyday they put on a "show" underneath our Texas map. The content of the show varies (thankfully) , and you can expect anything from a music show, poetry (they "write" them on paper first and then "read" them), nursery rhymes (they each have at least 20 totally memorized), or (as seen in the bottom pic) a choreographed walk through a maze of toys.
