Turbo Soup Cans

One morning last week, I got up to exercise, but didn't quite make it through before the kids were up and needing attention. So, I left my DVD going and went off to get breakfast for Kayla and do "morning" things. A few minutes later I noticed that Nathan and Lily had gone into the pantry to get soup cans for their weights and started exercising along! It was so cute to watch them! They did pretty good, too!!

Tonight, Bryson got out the "real" chess game, not just the one on the computer. Nathan was so excited to play with him. They played a couple games and Nathan is a pretty good little player!

And lastly, here's what saying prayers with Lily is like every night right now:

Lily: "Let's each say our prayers in our head."

Me: "Okay."

So I begin to say my own prayer in my head . . . meanwhile. . .

Lily: "When will you be done? When will you be done? When will you be done? When will you be done? When will you be done?. . . "

Me: "I'm done now."

Lily: "I'm not done yet, I'm saying a long prayer tonight."

I can't help but chuckle every night. :)

My BIG 5 Year-old!

Nathan celebrated his 5th birthday on Saturday, the 7th of March. Crazy! He is so excited for kindergarden. In fact, on his birthday he asked if he would go to school in the morning. He thought that as soon as he turned five, he would start school. :) He now understands, that school will start at the end of the summer.

He is growing up so fast! He is a great helper to both me and Bryson and he is a great big brother who loves to play with Lily and Kayla. Sometimes when I run upstairs to do something real quick, he will surprise me by cleaning up the downstairs! It is always a WONDERFUL surprise! He is always thinking of ways to make something better (boy, does he get that from his dad, or what!) and he likes to help Bryson play chess on the computer before bed. He's becoming a pretty good little player. We are so lucky to have him in our family!
