Things We've Been Up To

It's really fun having a girl...



...who is patient, will sit still...



...and lets me do this to her hair.


-------------------------------------------------------------------


Zoe decided to practice her art skills with a red crayon on our kitchen wall. She also got to practice her cleaning skills.


------------------------------------------------------------------


Last night Jacob and Emma came over to hang out while Krista (Mike's sister) and Jared went on a date. After a pizza dinner and a few games on the Wii, the kids got to help Mike make popcorn in our new popcorn maker (Mike's congratulations gift for the new job he just landed).



Then we all settled in for a movie.





The kids chose to watch the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon (Mike and Jacob lobbied for it quite well). As soon as Zoe saw Yoda on the screen she ran into her room and got her Yoda that she got from Mike for her birthday this year.

And now for our big announcement. WE ARE BUYING OUR FIRST HOUSE! Yay! We are SO excited about this. I'll keep you all updated when anything happens.
