A Day in the Lives of the Princes

Nail Polish

Kate got out her makeup kit and wanted to do her nails. She did a really good job, especially considering she's only 3. She even painted her right hand with her left.

She loved blowing on her fingers to dry the polish.

Even I got a manicure. I could get used to this!

Grant has decided he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. Sometimes he wants to be a paleontologist, sometimes an archaeologist. He really loves science. Here he's working on finding the mass of various objects and recording his findings.

Each blue cube weighed 1 gram. It really was a fun experiment.

One of the things I've loved about homeschooling is that he can participate in every experiment we do. After the lesson, he took the balance and tried a whole variety of experiments on his own.

Our Talented Boy

Grant's REALLY good at hanging spoons on his nose. It's just one of his many talents.

Crash

During nap time, Kate got out all kind of toys, put on a princess skirt, and played hard until she just passed out. This is how I found her.

"I'm glad I didn't get a brother. Sisters are much funner."

My View at Lunch Today

The Adventures of Yam

We were working on sight words one morning and Grant's word was "says." He was very excited to surprise me with a sentence instead of just the word. His sentence was "Yam says I can't hop."

His next word was "with" and he wrote "Yam and Carrot goes with Yam's mom."

I asked him why Yam couldn't hop and he started laughing and said "Because he's a yam!!" I should've known.

Snuggling

We were downstairs the other morning and heard the kids giggling. Nate called upstairs and asked if they wanted to come down. Grant said, "Not right now--we're snuggling!" We went up and found them all cuddled up in Kate's bed.

Just Cute

I just think this girl is so cute.

Phones

On the way out the door to go to Sam's, Grant and Kate each grabbed their trick-or-treating bag with their phones in them. The whole way there and during the time in the cart, they talked to each other on their phones.

Bitten!

Kate got some funny bumps on her arm on Wednesday and by Thursday morning they were huge. We went to the doctor and he said they were some sort of bug bites. She kept telling me, "I'm okay, Mom. I feel better." She was very cheerful.

Jeep

Kate came up with this contraption today--it's her baby stroller folded down with her step stool upside down on top. Then she sat in it and called it her Jeep. She kept saying "I'm Diego!" (Diego in her show has a Jeep.)

New Scooters

Kate loves Lili's scooter when we visit Jill's house, so I figured it was time to get her one of her own. Grant decided he'd like a scooter, too. To my surprise, Kate doesn't care to ride hers much and Grant loves his. She was more interested in posing for pictures than actually riding it.

Playing at the Park

We brought Grant's truck to the park to use in the sand. At some point, the kids decided it was more fun to use as a ride. Grant got on and Kate pushed him all over the park. It was so cute.

Grant's Handiwork

The kids disappeared while I was getting ready one morning. They burst into my room and were so proud of what they'd come up with. Grant had put almost all of Kate's hair flowers all over her head. It was quite impressive, actually. It resembled an old time bathing cap.
