My bathrooms are clean, Landon is still napping, and the girls are playing Smash Brothers. I figure now is as good a time as any to write about this and that.
Last Saturday we decided to paint Ainsley's room. She's been wanting it blue for quite a while and now her wish has come true. There isn't any blue in the quilt I made for her but I think it goes alright. Hopefully she won't start requesting a new quilt anytime soon! Kaylee has also requested a room painting so she's next on the list. I'm hoping we'll get it done before our trip to California in July.
Landon loves to cook! He wakes up most mornings repeating the word "hungry" and letting me know his breakfast request - usually Hello Kitty waffles. He always insists on helping me make whatever it is. This goes for lunch, dinner, and anything in between as well. So basically my son cooks, cleans, takes out the trash and likes to take a bath. If any of you moms out there are interested in such a good catch for your daughters in about 20 years, let the bidding begin!
The weather has been HOT here in Texas. I guess over the last few days we've been breaking heat records - I think the high for today is supposed to be 101! Yesterday we brought out our little pool, turned on the sprinklers, invited some friends over, and played in the water for hours - I don't even want to see our water bill this month. The kids had a great time getting wet and eating popsicles.
There's a book called "Super Completely and Totally the Messiest" by Judith Viorst that reminds me so much of Ainsley and Kaylee. You should read it if you ever get the chance. It's a cute book. In the book the older sister is perfect at just about everything, and the little sister is "super-completely and totally the messiest." When I walked into Kaylee's room yesterday this book came to mind.
That's about it! Ainsley has been out of school for almost two weeks. I can already see this summer flying by. I keep hearing older and wiser people talk about enjoying the little moments when it comes to raising children. I hope I'll be able to make myself slow down and enjoy the little moments this summer. I've got three great kiddos and I don't want to look back later on in life and wish I would have enjoyed those moments a little more. And now, I'm going to break up a fight!

You take the best candid shot ever Christa--you're gifted! Of course it doesn't hurt that you have three adorable subjects. I have to say little winged Kaylee in her messy, messy room gets the prize this time. I'd like a blow-up of that picture.
I'm jealous you have clean bathrooms! Cute room painting, and I'll need to put in a bid for Landon! Cailin likes to pick up laundry, wipe up messes, and push the vacuum--they'll make a great pair!
Sounds good, they'll have the cleanest house on the block!
Love the post! Love the paint, love the kids, love your closing comment...love everything! (Name the movie) I'll have to check out that book. It sounds perfect!
Ok, so now I have a question for you...how did you get the update times on your links list? That is so nice! I would love to see when people have updated so I don't have to check through to see if there's anything new!
