Today was sort of a lazy day.  We’ve been so busy traveling and needed a lazy day around the house.  We started this morning crafting with stickers that Shannon Stratton gave you for your birthday…

Cody, every time I handed you a sticker you wanted to taste it…we were choosing different type of frosting stickers and decorations to put on top of pictures of cupcakes…and we all know you love cupcakes!

While we had some downtime Daddy decided to put together the easel that Diane sent you for your birthday. Both of you were a big help to Dad while he put it together!

Once we got the easel together we started drawing with chalk.

For the first time ever Cody started to draw circles.  Here you are letting me know by drawing and saying, “Circles!  Circles!”

Cody, you love being able to wipe the easel clean and start again…

The two of you stood side by side drawing with chalk for quite a while…

And then Avett took over…

There were some chalky handprints left around the playroom…

Cody, you were so focused on your drawing that your feet gave you away.  First, you tried to climb into your drawing…

Then, you were on your tippy toes!

And here, you are kinking up your knee…

Next we moved outside to paint!

Avett, you really preferred “sorting the paints”…

Then, you decided to take a break from sorting and check out the back yard.

Then, back to sorting…this time in the back of your car.  : )

No paparazzi please!!!

Painting is exhausting and you were both soon ready for nap time!

All in all a wonderful day.  : )
