We've all been enjoying the perfect weather the last few days. The kids have played outside every day and have acted like they have been imprisoned for years. It is all I can do to drag them inside when I have to. Can't say that I blame them because I'm lovin' it too. Houston is officially a dirt magnet if you didn't already know. It is amazing how dirty he can get in only a few seconds. I guess that is natural for boys and I love that about him. He is an absolute joy and cracks me up all of the time. He officially doesn't meet a stranger and asks me what every single item in the grocery store is. Exhausting, but I love it and wouldn't want it any other way.
Here are some pics of what we've been up to.
The kids have discovered Lincoln Logs and they love them. These are a couple of their most recent creations.
Houston was in a silly mood one morning and wanted me to take pictures of his "funny" faces.
The girls have been decorating again. The first picture is a "pink" ensemble they created in honor of Valentine's Day. The following day they created a purple tribute to Valentine's and unfortunately I failed to capture the purple decor with my camera. The decorated duck was a random creation left on my kitchen counter as a prize for me!
Germ-a-phobes close your eyes! The girls love eating dirty snow. What can I say? They only get this opportunity once a month lately.
Is it normal for soccer players to be this cute? I'm thinking not, but oh my goodness aren't they cute? This was before our first practice and they fueled up with some bananas.
They love soccer already. Practice wasn't anything but fun to both of them and I'll have to say they've got game!
This is how you stop the ball with your elbow.
The coach figured out early if you put them on opposite teams it is full blown game on. I love to see the smiles on their faces even though they both really wanted to get the ball! Aidyn said she can't wait to play in front of a crowd. Hugh & I pray that they have confidence and it is encouraging to see Him in little things like soccer. Aidyn was devastated to learn that there is no goalie position in their age group. Her parents weren't aware of this either or we would have prepared her for this. She is taking it all in strides and waiting until practice next week. We're excited to learn how the game works as much as the girls. It's a fun learning experience for the whole family. I'm sure you'll be getting some more updates soon since our first game is in less than two weeks!
