A Day in the Life

Well, today was just a normal day at our house. Woke up early, exercised, breakfast, a couple of haircuts.. I dont know about you, but we have to go through our toys every couple of months and DI some. We did it before Christmas, then again after Christmas so we could fit all the new ones, and it was definatly time again! I get a garbage sack and make the kids go through them with me. Sometimes they are very good and sometimes I sneak a few in :) So after that it was time for our chores. I have to switch the chore chart every once in a while because at first the kids are so excited but, they get bored with it. So I wrote chores on big popsicle sticks and I added in a few fun ones too.. Make beds, Clean room, Fold laundry, Dance, Color- you get the idea.
Boom Boom POW.. Dancing is their favorite!
You cant tell by the picture, but Hank is rockin' with his carrot and all.

After chores were done I decided to start on some birthday presents which included painting. So, while I painted outside the kids rode their bikes and played in the dirt. But, then they decided they wanted to paint. So we came inside and made paint.
(kid friendly)

Shaving cream and food coloring.

I got parchment paper and put it on cookie sheets (easy cleanup!)

They loved it!!

Their masterpieces.. Payzlei said hers was a picture of a sunset. We love sunsets! My kids always point out all the pretty colors, always making a good ending for the day.
