It's raining, it's pouring

Hey, It's been awhile since I've written, simply because school finals have been overwhelming. I have finished my yoga and zumba classes, and I'm done with one to the two finals in my Spanish. I completed the Oral Spanish test last night, which I got 96% on, I'm so happy, and now I'm preparing for the language department test.

Today, it's rainy and cold. So, we are staying inside the house. Addy had a great idea, we decided to paint faces. So, here I took some pictures of the way cute faces. Addy wanted the usual, a butterfly face, and cole, I just decided to give him a tiger face.

Also, we went bowling recently as a family, and I decided to get some cute pics with them there too, as well as them gardening in their grandma and grandpa Stroud's backyard.

Also , you will see some other video's of the kids in different places being cute, I just thought they would be fun to share.

By the way, the picture of Addy on the floor, is when she is dancing crazy at the bowling alley, to the music that's on.

We're in this together!

So, today is a typical day at the Roundy house. We painted, (which you will be able to see the pictures of,) Colored, and played alot. The kids even got a chance to 'live life on the edge-by coloring on the walls!

So, here is a bit on thoughts on each event so far today...

This morning Coleman threw a tantrum for 20 minutes because he didn't want his clothes on him :) What a silly boy. He prefers to live his life the way he came in it, NAKED.
Then, as I was cleaning the Living Room, Addy came into the room and asked me not to be angry with her- after a while of coaxing she told me that she and Coleman decided to color on the walls. But what I thought was so cute, is that when I put them into time out ( they sit in there high chairs for the same amount of minutes as their age) I saw Cole reach out and grab Addy's hand, while they were both crying. It was as if they were both saying
"Were in this together" So, I got a cute pic of them holding hands while in time out.





So, after this, I figured, they must need more time with me- so we took a break and painted. So, here is some pictures of the painting that we did. Notice the difference between Addy's painting area and picture compared to Colemans. Also, notice how messy they each are. I find that interesting and comical.

Contructions for the Contractions

So, today we watched a blues clues episode that talked all about contraptions. After the show, Addy was so excited to make her own. She ran to me and said, "Mommy, Mommy, we have to make a contraction!" "A what? " I said, " A condaption!" She replied.

So, Addy is now so excited to make and build her own contraption. Here are a few of her ideas I quote:

" We could make a contraption so that when I need to wash my hands, it will turn on the sink, and put some soap on my hands. So we will need cardboard and glue to glue to the sink and we could make hands out of cardboard."

"We could make a contraption that would clean out my nose!"

"Oh, Mommy! We could make a contraption that would put my shoes on me, so I push on a button, and then glue and string would hold my shoe in the air, and it would fall on my foot"

She's such a smart little girl! Very creative and excited to try new things. So, here is a video of her making instructions for the contraptions that she wants to make.

She calls it the "constructions" Which I think is so adorable.
