Pajama parties and Preschool Projects

I found this cute 1 year old at the store and decided she should come home with me :)

Pajama Party!!
(Carter had waited all day for this)

A for apple painting!

Jayden's first finger painting

Carter's crown of leaves
(From the book The Giving Tree)

Eating apples from the Giving Tree
(Carter actually spent quite a while just sitting in this tree.  We need one in our living room)

"Mom, I told you I'm not Carter!  I'm adventure dragon guy!"

"No mom, it's not sour at all!"
Carter begged and begged for this lemon at the store.
He and Jayden both gobbled it right up.  Weird kids.

Starting the morning in style

E is for Excited!

Carter made a book about himself, modeled after the book Giraffes Can't Dance.
This first page has a drawing of himself.  As he was scribbling all over it he informed me that it was mud all over him.  Apparently he views himself as very dirty.

Maybe this is why.

Here's how little princesses play in the sand.

This is what big brothers do to princesses in the sand

Mommy decided to do this experiment after one too many times of telling Carter to stop drinking the bath water.

The baby is clean now, the water isn't!

Ice fishing, Arizona style
(fishing for ice, no bait required, just a pinch of salt)

Jayden.....I see you!

After mommy took the ice out of her mouth

Ice painting 

We tried to let Jayden participate, but the first thing she did was try to eat it.

It's always the paint-eaters that get left out

Looking at the Supermoon lunar eclipse
(It's that tiny little speck above and to the left of Carter's head :)

Where's Jayden?

There she is!

Halloween is coming!!
Carter is teaching Jayden his love of all things scary.
