Vacuuming...

We were cleaning up the house today and the kids had picked up their toys but wanted to help more. Yay! Could any mom turn that down???
Taurin got to vacuum and Marinn and Shaw tackled the dishes.  
 Taurin was hilarious vacuuming... she was so concerned about holding the cord up out of the way.  Thanks to my Kirby's awesome "Drive" mode she was able to maneuver the vacuum quite well.  
Now the dishes are done, the carpet is vacuumed and the kids feel accomplished.

Powder Pancakes

I was visiting with Andrew while he was doing a few things on the computer.  Then I began to smell something baby soft and powdery... I scan the room looking for the source.  I notice Shaw is missing and give another scan across the room... I discover him in Daisy's crate happily playing with a spoon, bowl, and the baby powder.  There is a fragrant cloud drifting from the crate.  
 I open the crate to discover a lightly dusted boy with a bowl full of powder. 



 He tasted it a few times... I'm guessing he was attempting to make pancakes. 




 Daisy crate is now Baby Fresh and very clean. 




This is when I got the vacuum.

Squats, Sauce, & Stripes

SQUATS: Yesterday morning as I was playing with my new fabulous camera from my amazing husband I snapped a few pics of Shaw pulling up on a chair. I realized as I was reviewing the pics that he has a perfect squat stance for Crossfit standards.  Hips back, weight on the heels, and chest up.  I'm proud of my little Crossfit boy! 

SAUCE: I was out and about yesterday taking some pics of the kids with my new camera from my fabulous husband.  We grabbed some lunch for the kids but Taurin had dozed off.  When she woke up we asked my niece to pass her the food.  She just passed her the bag not realizing it had about 7 packets of fry sauce* in the bag.  As we pulled up to the next stop we looked back to see Taurin covered in fry sauce... upon further inspection we discovered the sauce spread all over her legs and along the side of her seat.  This is the reason I have a "no sauce" rule in the van.  
*Fry sauce is a delectable mix of ketchup and mayo that is perfect for fries and pepperoni pizza.  You can only get fry sauce at restaurants in Utah.   

STRIPES: As Taurin was painting with her fry sauce Marinn had found a pen and was turning herself into a zebra.  She also scribbled next to her seat.  You can't see it in the pic but she also covered both or her arms in stripes.  Luckily my sister had an amazing cleaner called Spot Shot that removed pen and fry sauce.  The car seats also underwent a full wash.  Speaking of washing car seats... why do they not make them easier to take apart for cleaning?  We all know kids are messy and yet the car seats are designed like a Rubiks Cube.  

Despite the mess the day went good and the kids had fun... some pictures to come from our little photo shoot.  Did I mention my husband is the most wonderful amazing man ever?... who gave me an incredible camera! I love him : )
