Hansel & Gretel Marionette Show

We went to the Nashville Public Library with my sister to see the Hansel and Gretel Marionette Show. The kids had a great time.

The girls sitting in the front patiently waiting for the show to begin.

This is after the show...do you see jonathan off to the side crying again. He actually did stop during the performance. he was definitely not having a good day. Life is tough when you are 2!

While walking back to the car the kids enjoyed this area of the side walk that had air blowing up. These kids are easily entertained.

Baking with Robyn!

The title of this should actually be "Robyn's first time baking on her own". Robyn put her apron on and said she wanted to help me in the kitchen. Then that led to her wanting to make something on her own. So I pulled out a box of brownie mix and was ready to help her. However, she did not want any help. Robyn read the instructions and made them on her own. This girl was born with being independent! She successfully made and baked the brownies on her own. Dave was the guinney pig and tried them first. :) Robyn did an amazing job without any assistance. Way to go Robyn!

Can you see the brownie mix on her upper lip? I guess she already learned that the chef has to test it out before it goes into the oven :)

A Fun Day with Aunt Becky

My sister took my girls to Jump Zone so I could have a few hours to clean my house. It is amazing how much stuff I can get done in a few hours with only 2 kids. Thanks Becky!!!!!

Just Because...

We do not have church on Sunday until 1:00pm so I have been enjoying doing hairstyles on Robyn that take longer to do. I really liked the way the one for today turned out. I didn't take pictures until after dinner tonight but is held up pretty good all day. My pictures are not that great but I wanted to remember what I did for future times. I think this is one of my favorites.

All "Tuckered Out"

My kids seem to like to fall asleep anywhere but their beds. Lately I have had a hard time getting Jonathan to go to bed. This is our conversation everynight.

Me - Jonathan, it is time to go to bed
Jonathan - No it's not good night time it's good morning time

Unfortunately, since it is staying lighter later he thinks he should not have to go to bed until the sun goes to bed too.
So the other day we came home after swimming at my sisters house and I found Jonathan sound asleep on the steps that leads to his bedroom.

He looks so sweet just sleeping here.

"Update" on Adoption Update

I just spoke to the boys social worker and the birth mom never came by to drop off the "supposed" important documents she had. So now we will patiently wait for the August hearing when the parental rights will be terminated.
