Wild Blue Yonder

So I saw these at Target the other day and thought they looked like fun.....

Colored bubbles! Cool right? Well, let's just say they make a BIG mess on your sidewalk (picture below) and on your kids (not pictured). Imagine bright blue hands, faces and shoes. Lucky for us it was mostly washable, and James now only has a little tinge of blue to his skin.

But the bubbles were really pretty.

And James loved that I let him load up his bubble gun with the bright blue bubble mixture.

So all in all we had a great time. But I might think twice before buying these again.

Buy Food!

Let's go fly a kite!

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Wordless Wednesday

Valentine Greetings

Dear Valentine,

I love chocolate.

Love,
Luke

EVERYBODY EATS CHOCOLATE.
~Luke

Dear Valentine,

I love you more then mud!

Love,
James

Buy Food, Eat Food

Some of Luke's fun phrases:

Buy FOOD! (said whenever we mention going to the store)

Buy food, eat food!

Love food!

Do you sense a pattern here? And just for fun, a picture of Luke and Uncle Robert (Uncle Rabo). Love this sweet Luker!

Adventures in Sledding

Have I mentioned how much James is loving the snow this year? It just keeps getting better. John bought a sled last night, and already he and James have been out twice today to brave the hills. If it were up to James he might never have come back inside. I mean, who needs food or naps or potty breaks?

He could not stop smiling. This kid likes speed.

My sweet Luke is not a big fan at all. This snow stuff is for the birds. But he can be coerced out if he is snuggled by mommy.

But look who I found on the sled when we finally came back inside.

I hope this snow lasts, because we are loving all this time outside!

Sunday Best

Here are James and Luke all dressed up and ready for church. (Note, Luke brought a friend along.)

James loved his blazer, and insisted on wearing it the entire time at church.

Luke, my sweetie pie.

I feel like time is just flying by recently. We are blessed.

Doncha wish your kid was cool like mine?

James Morgan Turner
Reigning Angry Birds Champion
3-5 year old Moppets

James is the reinging champion of the Angry Birds competition of Moppets. What's Moppets? The childcare while I am at my "Mother of Preschoolers" (MOPS) meeting. Let's not dwell on the fact that he is playing games on someone's phone during childcare without parental approval. Rather, let's focus on the more important fact that this kid has some talent!

Exploring

We explored the Natural History museum this weekend. These two loved exploring. Notice Luke brought along a buddy and James insisted on wearing his gloves all morning long.

Froggie went all through the museum, crawling on the floor, wiping the windows, along the banisters.....oh boy. Germophob mommy couldn't wait to get that thing in the wash.

James didn't want Luke to eat his snack. Luke, meanwhile, had no interest and fed most of his to daddy.

A little walk around the national mall rounded out a really fun morning. Here are my little "twins". Seriously, Luke you are one tall guy!

Speaking of my youngest and his amazing height....I was checking out his friends in his Sunday school class. He was taller then most of them while he was knealing. So he towers over EVERYONE when he stands. Doesn't seem to bother him any, plus as an added bonus he can reach the snack tray when no one else can. James, on the other hand, does not want to leave when we come to get him. He actually tried to run back into his classroom as we were leaving. These boys keep us on our toes!
