Sunday Afternoons

Sunday afternoons are always interesting at our house. We get out of church at 4 and since Dan stays after to do his clerk duties, the kids and I get to hang out for a while. Mason is normally exhausted by this time and we normally drag him straight to bed, but since he slept for about 10 minutes in Nursery this week, he was set to go! We used to have nice meals on Sundays, but lately our feasts have been very similar to our weeknight dinners--anything quick that I can bake or stir while also juggling two kids! This past Sunday it happened to be salmon and Rice-a-Roni. This is what the kids were doing:

For some reason Mason loves to carry armfulls of pillows and blankets around the house. If they're not on his bedroom floor, they're being drug through the kitchen or, recently, down the stairs. I was washing his bedding, and I guess he wasn't real thrilled with the plain white pillows because he found those green pillows in our guest bedroom to carry around. It's a great feeling when I put him down at night to know that his pillows have been on the kitchen floor and on the tile inside the front door--yuck! That's why they were in the wash.

Tristyn was being so good just chillin' on her fun blanket from Grandma Higbee. She loves to read those soft books that are next to her. I love this cute little skirt that we recenlty bought at the Children's Place.

Mason has become very independent. He knows where his juice boxes are and he doesn't hesitate to get one when he's thirsty. I swear he goes through 2 or 3 a day. Not only does he get them from the fridge, he takes them out of our storage room in the basement! Normally if their on a high shelf in the fridge he'll pull us over to help him--this is the first time I've caught him climbing on the shelves! Luckily I had my camera handy!



Tristyn fell asleep cuddling this cute bear (her hand is covering the DFCU logo). I guess all of that rolling on the floor wore her out!

So now Dan knows what goes on around here while he's at church!
