Their own rooms

The children each have their own rooms now. Once we had an extra bedroom, considering Jazmine had taken to hiding her favorite toys so Isaac wouldn't break them, I figured a little bit of space wouldn't do any harm. They are GREAT at sharing....and share they do. Anything and everything. However, Isaac breaks whatever he can, whenever he can. And when he broke a very special "gift" from her Sunday School teacher a few weeks ago, she hasn't trusted him with her "special" toys yet. Anyway....with an empty bedroom I split some toys up and they each have their own space. My favorite part of it all, is how it has been working. They play in one room. Together they move to the next. When it's time to clean, they TOGETHER clean first one room, and then the other. I love it and I praise them for it. When bed time comes, they get a choice... sleep over in one of the two rooms, or sleeping alone in theirs. So far they have slept in Jaz's room together half the time, and alone the other half. Here are my "babies"......

Random pouting and kindness....

The children have been able to be outside playing for the last couple days, so they are struggling with what remembering what is appropriate indoor vs outdoor play today while the rain is pouring down outside. Earlier today they were in time out for throwing a basketball indoors and for breaking their closet door. This is the pic I snuck in because I just couldn't help it....
At this point in time, Isaac was busy telling me that I was ruining their lives and it wasn't fair....LOL. That boy, I tell ya! ;)

Later, Jazmine came up to me being the sweet hearted child that she is and handed me a ball on top of a stack of blocks. She said it was chocolate chip mint ice cream on a cone to thank me for making her her favorite lunch. I love them!!!

Bug Catching

We went to the Dollar Store on Wednesday trying to find some last minute St Patty's Day decorations for the kids and I to play with to decorate for dinner. However, all the stuff had been put away 2 days earlier...(same with WalMart & Walgreens, which I must tell you, dearest stores, you are losing money putting stuff away BEFORE the holiday because you are missing out on us procrastinators!) Anyway, we didnt' get the decorations we wanted but the kids did manage to spot a couple bug catchers on the clearance rack. They have done nothing outside but try to hunt bugs for 3 days now.

**All suited up and ready to start!**


**Bug hunting is hard work, so they took a break. While on break however, the bug hunting didn't stop. They say there and yelled "Here buggy, buggy, buggy"**


**Jazmine did manage to snag a lady bug, and she was SOOO excited! She actually cried when she accidentally let her escape!**

Craft Time

The kids wanted to make a "craft" the other day.....so we went to the dollar store, they chose their supplies and these are what we made. :)

Outside Fun
