Some fun with the kiddos!

I saw this fun activity on a blog somewhere and thought it might be a little bit fun for the kids. I took some butcher paper and traced each of the kids on their own piece of paper and then let them color themselves.






This last picture is of Brynleigh. She wanted to color on everyone else's picture and then she decided to throw a temper tantrum and be really rude. So...she had to go to the corner. I don't know...there's something about seeing their little dejected stance that makes me want to take a picture of it. They're just cute.


Brynleigh cracks me up! I've talked to her about how it hurts my heart when she's mean to me. And then we talked about where the heart is and how it sounds. She'll listen to my heart frequently and then make me listen to hers. She got really mad at me one day and yelled out "You heart not BUMPIN'!" Oh my gosh! I nearly fell over laughing...

Reminds me of my other daughter McKenna. She's 13 now, but when she was about 3 (same age as Bryn) she yelled something VERY similar..."You not my HONEY!!" to her Dad. (He used to call her "Honey" all the time.) Apparently he corrected her about something and she didn't like it!! Oh my goodness! If you could just see their faces...Truly priceless! They were so indignant!

I laughed out loud. I love the corner picture. What a cute idea. We did that in paper sacks for FHE. Just faces about our uniqueness. You are awesome.
