Olympic Fever

At our house we have loved having the Olympics to watch and are big fans of this ultimate sporting event. Today I was watching the cross country skiing sprint and the boys sat down with me. The next thing I knew, they had their 'skis' (aka slippers) and 'poles' (aka golf clubs), and were skiing all over the kitchen.

Here's the action shot.

Here are my future olympians! I love the creativity of kids.

The Rising Dough Trampoline

Today I was trying to help my roll dough out by putting it in the sun. The boys were playing on the floor there too, and one thing led to another.


Sorry the lighting is terrible. Here is Jordo bouncing his animal off the plastic wrap. (The rhino has bounced up and is in the middle of his shirt)



Here's the compromise. In order to save my plastic wrap and roll dough, I made the boys miniature versions with cereal bowls.



And then, they noticed they could 'trap' their animals. Oh the possibilities of fun with plastic wrap and a bowl.

And here is my beautiful Brooke who was watching all the action from the couch. She is starting to smile in response to people now and it is so fun. I wish I could tell you all how much I adore this little girl.
