spring cleaning

Anna is actually in both of the photos, you can hardly see her in the first.(and that is why we cleaned:))

after:

a place for everything, and everything in it's place.

I love (this kind of) Spring Cleaning. Let's hope this lasts!

I had to put this picture up (even though it is blurry). Ian loves being outside. Every time the door opens he starts racing towards it to escape. This picture just captured his happiness. I love this boy!


The rest of this post is for my sister Jeanette, she wanted to see our "no school" friday creations.

Anna wanted some peeps the other day, but we'd eaten our frozen stash and couldn't make it to the store. So instead we made our own peeps...with felt. I found tutorials here and here.

Everett & Anna sewed their own, it was cute to see them with needles and thread in hand.

crazy faces

(note: the photographer has included a self portrait in this series)

honestly, when Anna gets a hold of the camera we always laugh at the results.

I love my little photographer:)
