Cute & Creative Kids

It was a windy Sunday and the kids decided they wanted to fly kites. Since we don't have any kites, they got creative and made their own, using plastic bags and sports ribbon.



I really thought that by now, the Webkinz craze would be long gone, but I was dead wrong! Rian now has 25 and Dakota has 24! They don't spend nearly as much time playing with them on the computer as they do with the actual toys, but every once in a while they like to check up on their cyber-babies! Jack thinks the stuffed animals in his room are Webkinz...we all just go along with it.
Dave doesn't have a lot of free time in his busy schedule, but when he does have a few minutes to spend with the kids, he pulls out the Guitar Hero. Jack's the first one to run to the room when he hears it, yelling "I wanna play Rock On too daddy!"
Dakota's favorite breakfast on Saturday mornings is French Toast. Many Saturdays, she's up long before I am, so she was determined to learn how to make it herself. She has gotten quite good at it! Last week I came downstairs around 9am and found this...


Notice the plates set out for Dave and I as well. Dakota is a great helper, without her I couldn't catch those few extra Z's on the weekends.

If Koty wants to get away from the heat this summer, she can come stay with us.
