Pulling Weeds




Faith accompanied Bradley this evening while he was watering the grass. He was pulling a few weeds and she decided to help out. It was so cute!! How about Bradley's outfit?? Is that a fashion statement or what?!!! Faith also was checking the water temperature in the fountain. You know you can grow mosquitoes in those things in the summer in Arkansas if they get too hot, haahaa!

Acrobats


Obviously Bradley looks like a jungle gym when he is laying in the floor and our girls just can not help themselves, they must climb. I am not really sure who's idea this was. I think it all started out with Haley doing her typical flying act. A little someone has become quite the jealous one lately and had to get right in the middle of it! I look in the living room to find this! Bradley has watched too much celebrity circus!!

Little Eyes Are Watching You


It is amazing how much little ones learn by watching and listening to what others around them do. Faith was out on the deck Monday night and got a little splinter in her big toe. I tried to get it out with the tweezers and she refused to have anything to do with that. So, I waited until she was asleep and successfully removed the splinter. Well, even though she was screaming and fighting my efforts when she was awake, apparently she did observe what I was doing. This morning she found the tweezers. She climbed up on the couch with Haley and as you can see from the picture, she was doing the same action that she observed me doing! A little bit of a lesson to learn and remember here, even when you don't think they are watching or listening, they are, and they will mimic you!!!

Learning Bad Behavior


An advantage, or I guess in this case disadvantage, to having an older sibling is picking up bad behavior! I looked in the living room today to find Haley and Faith both sitting on the coffee table watching TV. They have both been told numerous times not to sit on the coffee table! Faith I can understand, Haley on the other hand is old enough to know better!

Little Model!!





Ok, this is not a Cheatham girl, but I had to post these pictures!! Most of you know Avery, so you will enjoy these! Last week at our playgroup Avery was standing in front of me so I told her to look at me so I could take her picture. Erica told Avery to pose for the picture and she did! I took the picture and Erica told her to change her pose and she did!!! This went on for several pictures as you can see!! I loved it! She was just as serious as could be about it! I think you may have a little model on your hands Erica!!

I Can Fly!!


If Bradley is laying on the floor then Haley sees that as an opportunity to fly! He lifts her up in the air with his feet and she poses. Here is her superman!

I Need A Mommy Break!!!

Ok, let's make sure we get this straight from the get go.... I know that I am very, very blessed to be able to have the opportunity to stay at home with my kids. However! However, 24/7 little people starts to really drive a person, well, insane is actually a good word for it. About once a week I feel the need to just get away! Even if it means getting in my car and driving to the store to grab a gallon of milk! I just need to go somewhere and not have any needs from the back seat, to not have to gather 10 things out of the car to go to the store, to not be followed around. Just me and my purse (not diaper bag!!)! I decided to include a little tad bit of what happens around my house at least a dozen times a day. Faith is perfectly happy doing whatever she is doing and then she catches a glimpse of me and independence is out the window, here she comes screaming with what she thinks is a need to be held! In this video, not 2 seconds prior, she was playing some air guitar and dancing while Haley was playing guitar hero. I was cleaning up the kitchen from dinner and took a peek in the room to check on the girls and guess whose eye I caught! Here she comes crying demanding that I pick her up! So, I just needed to vent a little because I am in desperate need of a mommy break right now and am actually fixin to get one here in a couple of minutes!! Haley and I are going to Hobby Lobby and Barnes and Noble, just the two of us! We tried to do this earlier but Faith was like a bull in a china cabinet, there were books flying everywhere! Haley and I decided that this is a trip to make without the little one! Again, I love my children dearly and am soo sooo blessed to have them and be able to stay home with them, but I now understand why about once a month my dad would set me and my brother and sister down and tell us that he was about to have to take my mom (stay at home mom also) to Green Leaf if we did not let up a little on her!!! Enjoy the video!!
