In Our Apartment......................

Sleeping in this position is completely normal....

Swedish Twister is the greatest game ever. 

Going to a bridal fair pretending to be engaged and looking at bridal magazines is the perfect date....

You can pretend to be whoever you want to be - in this case, Charlotte was pretending to be Taylor...

You might come home to find a dead snowman at your door. Turns out it was alive until Claire saw it and decided to kick it over...............

You can kiss hundreds of cheesy pick-up lines and tape them to everyone in your ward's door the night before Valentine's Day....

you can eat all of this junk food just because it's Valentine's Day and you're single....(no we're not depressed, we just like junk food. and by we I mean I)

You can play in the snow, even when there is barely enough to cover the grass....
(you can play baseball with snow)

(you can build a snowman on my head while I sit on my snow throne)

(Oliver shows you a video of him jumping out is window in a laundry basket) 

(You can get your face shoved in the snow when you lose a snowball fight/chase 

(you can take epic pictures of yourself sitting in a throne of snow)

you can decorate your fridge like this.....

And that about sums up our apartment! 

My Children!

So, I recently started working at a daycare everyday after school. At first it was really stressful because it's just me in 1 room with 10-14, 4-year-olds. But I'm starting to get the hang of it now! On Valentine's Day I took some pictures of them - here they are!

There are a bunch more children in my life, pretty much all of them being in my family. I went and babysat my cousins Reese, Kendal, and Ty the other night and took a few pictures while I was there. Sometimes it's nice to get out of my apartment and go hang out with them :)

Why Girls Get Ready, Toilet Paper, My Children, and Handstands

Well hello there! Nothing too exciting has been going on lately. My new daycare job is going really well (details and pictures to come). We've done some makeovers, labeled our toilet paper, and I figured out I can do handstands in our hallway! You know, the usual.

So, here on the left we have Bethanie. She is my lovely roommate who allows me to doll her up every now and then. Here are the before and after pictures :) I did her hair, makeup, and had her put contacts in. And this, my friends, is why girls put forth
                 Before                         the effort to get ready in the morning.                     After
             

                Below is Claire labeling our roll of toilet paper.......Basically we heard that someone in our ward labels each of his eggs (individually) with his full name. We thought it was pretty funny and joked about labeling other things in our apartment too. The funniest thing we could think of labeling was toilet paper - each person gets 3 squares, and you can't go to the bathroom unless it was your turn. We were just kidding, but Claire actually did it! hahaha. Oh Claire......

 Next up are some of my children. At first the daycare job was overwhelming. They basically threw me into a room with 10, 4-5 year olds and said "entertain them for the next 3 hours while they all try to get your attention, climb all over you, and fight with each other." Easy, right? Now it's gotten a lot easier. I've figured out what will keep them entertained, how to discipline the fighters, and all that good stuff. I also found out that they love having their picture taken! Here are a few of them.

Lastly, I would like to explain the picture below............A few days ago I was having trouble focusing on my homework (surprise, surprise). I was talking to Bethanie, and she told me to do handstands to get the blood to go to my brain. I did, and my feet touched the ceiling when I did it. I kept "practicing" this until I could hold myself up with my feet on the ceiling. It's so much fun! Ok, maybe entertaining is the word I'm looking for....regardless, it's my newest hobby :)
