RANDOM

Have I mentioned that my kids love to dress up? The simplest props, accessories, etc can help entertain them for hours.
Here they are as Woody and Jesse or just a cowboy and cowgirl depending on their game at the moment. Notice their matching boots - Emmy's were a gift to Zane when he wore her size and his are a hand-me-down. Sweet!
During the first Charger's game of the season, we had to find a way to entertain ourselves while Zack stressed himself out on the couch. So, the three of us made pumpkin cookies. It took a while, but they were so patient and followed directions really well. It helped that they knew they would be allowed to lick the beaters at the end. They love dough - my great-grandma wouldn't have approved. ;)

Zane's obsession right now is art work. Basically he just wants to draw, write, or color all day long. Recently he's become a little OCD about coloring thing the correct color. For example, if he's coloring Captain America, he has to have a real picture of him in front of him so he colors each detail correctly. He takes his time and is so careful about getting every single part right. He also loves to try to draw characters or other things.

Not only does he want to create all the time, but has wanted to tape all his art work up everywhere. On walls, windows, etc. So we bought these cool wires from Ikea to clip some artwork up in the hallway. The kids love seeing their work hung up.

These pictures are randomly taped up in the kids' room.
Zane was telling Emerson to chase him and spray him. She didn't waste a second on that opportunity! They both got soaked.
