FHE

Tonight for Family Home Evening we talked about our families and what we can do together that's fun so for an activity/treat we played pictionary. Except we used pudding and our fingers instead of paper and a pen. Allie thought it was great and kept going even after the rest of us were done.

concentrating on her drawing and cleaning off her "paintbrush"

It's a cat with a smiley face can't you tell.

Allan did this not Allie, she was still painting and he pushed the plate in her face. She thought it was funny and it was a perfect way to say "now it's bathtime and time to get ready for bed"

Valentine's Day

Okay so I know it's already come and gone but we wanted to tell everyone Happy Valentine's Day and that we love all of our family and friends.

I was surprised at how well Allie sat still for me to do this to her hair. I saw it on

www.princesshairstyles.com of course it probably helped that she was watching a movie at the time. She is starting to become more of a little girl saying things like "no daddy I don't want to watch trucks that's for boys" but then she still goes and watches the truck shows with Allan. So maybe he can still hope for the days that he and Allie will work on cars together.

I..I..Icky

Allie is really learning a lot right now and I think she surprised Allan the other day when she went into the bathroom and discovered that someone had left it a little stinky. She said eew it's icky in here. huh icky i..i..icky that's an I. She knows all the letters if you point to them and almost all their sounds. Occasionally she gets stumped but mostly she likes to pretend she doesn't know or say a different sound for that letter and then laugh. She is definitely ready for some type of school. I want to do an in home preschool but haven't had much luck getting people to sign up.
