Nina's birthday

Nina turned 3 on Tuesday and this year's theme was Princess. We had our monthly birthday get together with the siblings and cousins here in CO where Nina got a box full of princess dress-up paraphernalia. Then on her birthday she picked out Krispy Kreme for breakfast, mac & cheese for lunch and fish sticks for dinner. Nina used her birthday money to buy princess and fairy action figures (for lack of a better word). It's nice to have moments where Nina isn't getting in trouble! We had a fun day.

Pictures of our house

I feel weird putting the link on my blog - there are some freakshows out there - so if you are interested in seeing any of the pictures of our house, let me know and I'll email the link to you. I would take my own pictures, but the photographer our realtor used did a much better job than I could do.

Hidden talents

We all have them, and our kids have them too. I thought I would share some of our kids' talents.

By now we all might have guessed that Nina has a rather amazing ability to decorate with any medium, at any time, and in any place. She's so versatile.



For anyone who was wondering which wall in our house this was, it was the one that was painted just a day earlier.



The second round of mascara. She felt confident enough to apply it on her friend Kate as well as on her own eyebrows and lips. Most people wouldn't be that bold. Heaven help this rare gem we have.





Howie can make lots of different patterns and balance a pencil on his head.



Donovan's art got selected to be on display at our local library this past month.



And Cameron has the ability to be happy amid all the chaos that is our household.
