Life Lately

The kids have been asking daily to paint, sometimes several times a day. We have probably killed an entire forest by now, but I love seeing Ruby & Noah enjoying it so much.
 
 
 
I could kiss this face all day long. Oh wait, I do. Lately at dinner Noah will say every few minutes, "Mmmm this is so nummy mommy. Mmmm nummy." It pretty much makes me want to cook for him until the day I die.
 
 I walked into Ruby's room the other day & just found her on her bed like this. Reading her Book of Mormon with a magnifying glass. Ruby is legitimately hilarious & will do little things like this throughout the day that make me laugh so hard. She has such a cute sense of humor.
 
These two with the hug pose - anytime I get out my camera they do this. Probably because I go on & on about how cute they are when they do. But also because they really love each other. Their close-knit relationship is something that brings me so much joy as their mom. They definitely have their moments, but they really are so good to each other. Also, Noah calls these shoes he's wearing his "basketball shoes" & wants to wear them every single day.
 
Just doing a little light reading.
 
Super heroes are now living in our home. All day every day.
 
 
 
This is what he does when we say, "Muscles!" Noah is obsessed with this Spider Man shirt & when he walked into nursery on Sunday he told his nursery leader, "I left my muscles at home today", talking about this shirt.
 
This girl is a force to be reckoned with. She might rule the world some day.


Camping

We went camping with friends over Spring Break a few weeks ago & while camping with kids always makes me a little nervous, we all had a great time. The kids loved playing in the dirt & exploring & discovered a love for hiking. We spent the night in our tent & it got a lot colder than we had anticipated. We bundled up together & covered ourselves in a pile of sleeping bags & blankets & I think everyone ended up sleeping pretty well except for me. When we woke up in the morning Ruby looked at me & said, "Thanks for snuggling me all night & keeping me warm & cozy mom." It kind of made a miserable night's sleep worth it. Some pictures of our trip:
