Little Moments

-

It's the little interactions between the kids that make my heart sing and stay in my heart.  I love when they share their talents and skills with each other to brighten the day of a younger sibling.  

Bekah shared her skill and supplies with Owen when she taught him how to make a cool looking jet sculpture out of cardboard, hot glue, and lots and lots of beads.  

Maeve took time each evening in November to read to John before bedtime to help him reach his reading log goal for the PBS Kids reading challenge.  I love how intently he listens to her and I love how much drama and spirit Maeve puts into each book.  

 

Squeezed into my little narrow bathroom Diana took her first bath with just about all of her brothers and sisters there to watch and lend a helping hand.  I had way more help than I knew what to do with, but I'm sure glad she has such a great support system of people who love her and want to make sure she is taken care.  Lucky baby.

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
