Our Week

It has been a really quiet and rainy week. It took a few days of rain before I finally settled into a good routine of being inside again all day with the kids. Since Monday, the kids and I have entered into this magical zone of creativity and play that could only be brought about by being cooped up inside a tiny apartment. I wish I could list all of the imaginative play that Noelle has produced this week. She has played camping, gymnastics teacher, pregnant mommy, mommy, chef, built blanket forts, played playdough, colored, played with dress ups... I am usually so busy trying to keep the kids busy that this creativity is muffled. Corom just goes along with whatever Noelle is doing. (Usually trying to pull toys away) I look forward to the sunshine returning, but in the meantime, it has been nice to enjoy some quiet time with my children. Noelle and I even sewed the baby-to-be a quilt today while Corom took an almost 4 hour nap. (Woo-Hoo!) We are 26, almost 27 weeks. I feel like we have approached the countdown. With Dan in summer school and vacation time planned, I think the remainder of the pregnancy is going to fly! Hope you all had a great week too!

Noelle performed this week at her Summer Gymnastics Show! We love, love, love the program that she is in! 

Dress up time!

I finally threw this box away tonight after the kids have been sitting in it and fighting over it for the last 2 days. Who needs fancy toys when you can play with a box?

Little Mommy Noelle- a little more hip than her own mom!

Well, what a creative mom you are. I can't believe it's raining there. Doesn't Utah know it's supposed to be summer time?
