Homestead Randoms

A bunch of random photos from our meanderings around the house.  Nothing terribly exciting.  But the reality of our down time... minus the cooking and laundry and cleaning and, and, and...
 
New Years morning pancakes.  Don't laugh... I don't think oatmeal pancake batter was meant to be piped through a sandwich bag.  Hindsight...
A little game playin'. 
Brain Quest is super fun for the Kindergarten and up set!  Soph's a little young yet.
This pose Will's got going on cracks me up.  He looks like a little man!  And just like his daddy.


While we played Brain Quest at the table, Sophie was busy with her kitchen and serving us multiple cups of tea with cookies.
Concentrating on one of Will's encyclopedias with the magic pen that reads her the facts.

Independent pottier.  Never thought we'd see the day.  And I know this is TMI, but she's so quick with her poos now!  It used to take her FOREVER to relax and just go. 


Done???  Yep!
 
A typical evening...
Homework first.

 Dinner then bath.




Last minute play time.
Teeth brushing. 
And, um, checking to make sure you can't see any sugar on them???



Followed by books, prayers & kisses goodnight.
 
Another frequent evening occurence: 
Step 1) walk in door.
Step 2) beeline for dress up drawer and put on tutu.
All her dress up stuff gets shoved into one big drawer for her easy access and this poor tutu has been so well worn and loved that it's all scrunched and tangled.  Note the discarded sparkly ballet slipper and tiara.
Reading Charlie and Lola to little sister.
Pop-up books rock.
And that's about it!  It's been pretty quiet around here.  No complaints from us!

I'm cracking up over here because we tried to do the same exact thing (using oatmeal batter) with the New Year's pancakes. FAIL!!!! I'm very impressed with the way yours turned out. I know I did it last year, and it worked perfectly...wonder what recipe I used??

SImply love the potty pics of Soph and the teeth pics of Will. Adorable moments!
