raising redheads

Do you ever wonder just what we are doing to entertain our wild ones during our humid summer days or what sort of things are happening in our home on cold winter nights? It is, after all, a chore to find things to entertain both kids and myself what with my hyperactivity personality type combined with theirs.

I always do my best to show you what's happening in our lives and today is no different!
Sometimes, but very rarely, I get to snuggle with both of my babies...

Alot of times I find my redheads cuddled up together in random places watching Dora or laughing at each other. They love each other so much!

It is guaranteed that every.single.day you will see this boy crying over nothing at all. But I sometimes dont mind because he's just so dang cute.

If we're lucky, we get to hang around with Uncle Jake...

The last few days it is NOT uncommon to see a bare bottomed girl running through the house. She is officially potty trained!

As she flushes, she always says "Yeah bay bay!" in the cutest voice ever. Notice the proud thumbs up?!
Good Job Miss Elaine!

Some hot days, mommy leaves the kids in the pj's. They're just so cuddly that way.

Most days, Braden disobeys in one way or another...on purpose. (but looks so cute doing it.)
After having a boy, I dread any time we eat.

Every day I get to watch Braden's personality change and grow. Lately he closes his eyes and wimpers a little bit when he's wanting some attention.

Oooo....some summer days we go swimming with people we ♥

...and more than likely, if there are snacks involved, Braden will opt out of swimming to eat. Of course he would.

I love summer days because I get to see this face a couple times a week!

Oh yeah and what else goes on in our house?

On my husband's days off (when it's sooo hot outside) he likes to clean our windows with newspaper.

Yeah.

Although I had NEVER heard of it, our windows do look fantastic! He's a big help when he wants to be;)

So after yesterday's post, Braden's eyes began to swell more and more due to his bug bite. At 9 pm we took him to the ER just to be safe. I'm not one to mess around when it comes to their little eyes. Anyway, after spending a couple of hours basically waiting around, he got an oral dose of prednisone to help with the swelling and we went on our way. He should be fine. Nora was waiting up on us (at almost midnight) and was so worried about her bubby. They are both napping now after waking up way too early today. I actually think I'm going to join them.

Daniel has some testing for another police department in the morning. This time it's for a job in our own town. Please pray that all goes well and that if this is a door that needs to be opened that God would do just that! Again, we are resting in the peace of knowing that either way, we are in the center of His will.

I'm exhausted and it's way hot outside so I do believe I'll hit the pillow for a few hours. Arent you so glad that I informed you of what's happening in our world so that you can rest better as well? You're welcome.♥
