Coloring

 Last week, after I dropped the girls off at Nature School, I scooted over to Target to pick up these sweet coloring books that I had seen a few days earlier when I ran in for something else. They were over in the little kids clothing section (near a whole bunch of red riding hood inspired things) and I couldn't help stopping by to take a peek. I was instantly enchanted. Feeling that it really was more of a coloring book for older kids, I decided right then and there that I would pick up two copies as a "back to nature school" treat for the girls. I decided I'd leave each girl a coloring book for her to discover when she got into the car after nature school. They were both super surprised and over the moon! "Thank you, mama!" and "What beautiful pictures" echoed from the backseat as we drove home.

 

And ever since the girls have colored a little bit each day. 

Even taking their books and colored pencils with them places. 

 Colored by Grace.

Colored by Emma.

Our Sunday

The day started with some coloring

and then Grandma arrived.

And all was right with the world.

Of course, no day is complete without some form of dress up.

Then Grace got ahold of Mama's camera

and took matters into her own hands.

So, we decided to get out the Fisher-Price digital camera the girls were given for Christmas.

Much fun was had.

There was time spent playing the Wii.

It wouldn't be a Sunday blog post without an appearance (or two) by Dave.

Then it was time to read and head to bed.

Poor Em was feeling so crummy she went up to bed without Grace.

Something that rarely happens.

Keep your fingers crossed my friends that Em's cough does not turn in to croup or pneumonia.

Her cough is getting worse and she is feeling just as crummy.

On that note, I'm off to bed.

Sleep well, dear friends.  We'll see you tomorrow.
