Messy

Saturday morning we made a last minute decision to run to Mattawa to get some wood from my dad which meant we left the house suddenly and it was a mess. Then, in a very rare moment, I ended up sleeping in this morning so I didn't have a chance to clean up once again. It stresses me out big time to have the house so messy for so long. So, Drew took Ezra for a drive at the end of sacrament meeting because Ezra was cranky and tired and needed to sleep. While he was sleeping in the pickup Drew came home and cleaned the house. Made beds, put away laundry, cleaned up toys, emptied and loaded the dishwasher, cleaned up the table, cleaned the kitchen, put away the ironing board and iron, etc., etc., etc. Oh my goodness I was so excited about this surprise when I got home!!

So I was going on and on about how awesome this all was, and Darcy walks over to the toy bins and states loudly and happily, "Now, I'm gonna make a mess!!!" She wasn't being spiteful or anything. She said it like we would be so excited about it and we couldn't help but laugh. Silly girl.

I had a few random pictures on my camera I wanted to blog about. So here they are.

 

 I always put Darcy up on a stool to do her hair and Ezra had been anxious to have a turn up on the stool. So I put him up and brushed his hair. He loved it. Then he took the brush and brushed his own hair for a while. He tends to use the wrong side though.

 Another favorite lately. Both my kids have been into downward dog. :) Ezra loves to do this and have us look at him through his legs.

 I saw on their family blog that my nephew was making his own bed and he's just a little older than Darcy. I was shocked because I hadn't even thought of having Darcy make her own bet yet! Whoops! So the next day we started working on it, and she was so excited about it. When I tell her it's time to make her bed she runs upstairs, excited to do it. I had no idea she would be so happy to make her bed!

 I saw this idea for sidewalk paint on Pinterest and it was a hit! Darcy and Ezra both loved having freedom to paint all over without having to be careful. Ezra had never even gotten to try painting before this and he was a fan. I thought it was fun too!

 They got to clean up in the pool.

 It was a little chilly for getting wet so they were happy to get wrapped up in the towels.

This week I have been watching my cousin Cruz while my Aunt is working in the area. The first day he was here we blew up this air mattress in my room and these three had so much fun playing on it together.

 Yesterday I took a deep breath and let Darcy paint my toenails. I was worried she would get the polish all over everything, but she didn't get it anywhere besides my toes. Not exactly where it's supposed to go, but close. :) She was so happy to get to do this and it was definitely worth it! We were both laughing that it was all over my toes.
