The Ordinary Days......

Our little family has been busy but not too busy to enjoy simple days. One of the things that our family agrees on, is what we call, "Situated Time." Pronounced SITCH-U-ATE-ED. We are all about going and doing but love to be at home. So before I post all the activities we have been doing, I will leave you with some pictures of our ordinary days.

Bailey hangs out at the computer while I make dinner. I love hearing her say, "Yes, I got it right" or "Oh Man. I can't figure it out." Her little brain is at work.




My little guy loves his farm and animals. Lately, the super heros and pirate have joined the animals at the farm.



We love to play games. We recently learned a new card game called SNAP. Daddy deals the cards face down. The youngest goes first and turns over his top card. Then everyone else has a turn. You yell SNAP when you see a match. Whoever yells SNAP gets the other person's cards. Whoever has the most cards wins the game. Even a 2 1/2 year old can play! He just yells SNAP the whole time.



For those of you who know me in real life, know that I am not a baker. I am not sure why I don't really jump up and down and get excited over baking. I know myself...if I bake, I will eat it all!!! There are times when I do like to do little baking projects with the kids. Bailey and I made chocolate easter lollipops for her friends at school. We also tied a ribbon around it and attached a note that said, "Jesus is Alive." The message was her idea! So thankful, that she is learning the real reason for Easter. Not sure why I did not get a picture of the finish product but here is Bailey holding up the sticks for the lollipops.



Just trying out some big boy underwear to see if that would get him excited about potty training. Nope! Not going to do it right now. Since his birthday is coming up, I told him the doctor said he has to start when he is three. He agreed to it so we shall see. He sure did look cute in his undies for a split second.




We hope you are enjoying some time at home as well!

Great post! Loved the pictures of the every day. I am all about being situated in my house, and I'm with you on the no baking thing. Love to cook, hate to bake. My boys? Turn up their noses at most of what I cook and loves me most when I bake them chocolate chip cookies and brownies.

Cuz that's really healthy and well balanced, yes ma'am.

I forgot what I was going to say because I got distracted by that cute little bottom!

I prefer baking to cooking, but will eat it all, like you said!
