it's been chilly in the morning, so sometimes the kids hop into our bed to stay warm while i wake up (it takes me a while and they know that!) 

 we took a trip to stoughton farms to pick up some corn. the kids were loving the slides there and were not happy when we had to leave!

 aunt amy dropped off some perler beads the other day and we've been playing with them ever since!!!!! hours of entertainment!!!!

 sidewalk chalk after dinner

 the kids were running around the house this morning, laughing, yelling and screaming. nothing new! we NEEDED to get some energy out! i came up with "activity candyland". i made a bunch of activities and math problems on cards and colored them to match the candyland colors. we played regular candyland and after we moved the guys, we picked the matching color and did the activity. it was a hit!!!

 rex got his first birthday card! great grandpa everett sent him a card and birthday money. he got right to work on sending my a thank you card! it was his first thank you card that we wrote all on his own!!!! proud mama!!!

love my goofy girl!
