A few months ago, Curtis and Haley built a birdhouse - something Haley has been asking to do for a long time. The girls finally painted it. Of course it would have to be purple and sparkly. It wouldn't be any other way. This last weekend, Curtis hung it up. Not exactly how I would have done it, but it works. Great paint job girls!
One of our family's most favorite thing to do is watch America's Funniest Videos and have popcorn and orange julius. Everybody loves eating the yummy dessert. There is a trick to drinking the julius from the cup (spoons are for wimps). Natalie and Haley figured out that if you tilt the cup, like you would to drink, you are going to get a face full of julius (they are VERY thick). It was everywhere - they were not happy. The trick is you have to gently tilt then, tap the side of the cup. Here is the yummy recipe. Enjoy!
Curtis and I have a ritual each time we put our two little ones to bed. We hum "You Are My Sunshine" quietly. When the kids hear this they know it's time for bed and they start calming down. Lindsey will lie her head down on our shoulder and snuggle up. Today, I was getting the girls ready for a nap (they sleep in the same room). Kate was already in bed, but I was changing Lindsey's diaper. Haley was in the room with me and she was humming softly in Kate's ear "You Are My Sunshine." It was so sweet. I love that I have 4 sweet girls. They are all very thoughtful and caring. It is so fun to see them grow and watch them be tender to their siblings.
