NOthing makes a mother happier than when her kids love each other.  Right moms?

But what little boy likes to be kissed by his sister?

And what little sister doesn't love to tackle her brother?

So in order to keep mack busy while school is out, I decided that we were going to do at least one fun thing per day.  So i made a huge list of things to do, under 3 categories.  Field trips, treats to make, and activities/games.  I have them cut up and put in 3 separate jars.  I decided he can draw out of the jar every morning and we will do whatever is on the slip of paper.  Here is what he drew today (day 1):

So what does he choose?  He chooses chocolate chip cookies.  Real special.  But, we made them.  He thought it was the coolest.  

Don't they bake faster if you watch them?

It's a rainy day in May.  Again.  Where is the Cat in the Hat when you need him?

We love Facetime on the ipad.  When Macy can see herself on the screen, she thinks she's pretty awesome.  And Mack is just obsessed with the ipad in general.  At first he said it was his.  Now, if Brad mentions, "my ipad", Mack is quick to correct with "you mean the FAMILY ipad".  He even asked for his own for his 4th birthday. Yeah right.

Macy's hair is just barely long enough for a pony tail right on the top of her head.  Barely.  

The cows behind our house are back.  Every day, they take the same path around the outside of the field behind our house.  They always come by our part of the fence in the afternoons.  This is the highlight of Macy's day.  She presses her nose to the glass and watches them.  As soon as they pass out of her view, she starts to cry.  She loves the cows.  One of these days, we will see if she likes them closer up.

I have had my eyes on this painting for quite a while now.  It's titled, "He's Not Here".  Finally, I bought it for myself to go above my piano.  It completely changes the feel of the entire room.  I LOVE it!  Such a simple picture with such a ginormous meaning.
