A full day

I woke up this morning feeling like I needed to go for a jog.  Something I have not done in a VERY LONG time.

So I loaded the kids in the stroller and off we went.  I decided to head up to the point.

We saw the Naupaka plant, which contains only half of a flower.  The other half is said to be up in the mountains.  Kind of a Romeo and Juliet story, with flowers :)

Kali decided to join me on the home stretch.

She also found some sleeping grass that she loves to poke at and watch close up.

Something else Kali is into lately, is picking flowers and giving them to me, Krew and her daddy, she says it shows us that she loves us.  After she gives me a flower she asks me if I love her, and I say of course I do.  Then she says, "Then where is my flower?"

She also has an eagle eye for rubbish and is sure we pick it up and throw it away.  It makes Heavenly Father happy when we keep the earth clean, is what she says as she picks it up.

Little Krewzer right now is a dancer.  When ever he hears music he is sure to move some part of his body.  My favorite is his happy feet.  He just gets those little feet moving so fast :)

And my children share the same love I have for my ice ice baby christmas snow man.

After our walk it was time to paint.

Well, Kali painted and Krew got bored after a couple of swipes and off he went to explore.

I couldn't find our paint brushes so Kali used a ball.  She didn't want to get messy.

next on the agenda, play-doh

Then nap time.

After they woke up Krew was quick to doing all those things I tell him not to do.

Krew, don't touch the buttons.

Krew, don't get into the cabinets.

Enough of that, we went out and played at the playground for awhile, did a little laundry, hung out at the Howard's for awhile, then Kali said, "Mom it is beautiful outside, we need to take a picture."  She is so good lately about finding good places to take pictures.  So helpful!

A few things Kali has said lately that I don't want to forget:

Kali:  When kids are whiny or sad they just need love.

She tells me this a lot now, when she is sad.

Kali: Mom, Can I go out side and play?

Me:  You need to wait for your dad or I to go with you.

Kali: Mom, when a child asks their mom if they can go out and play, they are supposed to say, “OK”.  You didn’t say OK.

While going for a walk the other day.

Me:  Kali let’s work on your third article of faith.  (We have gone over maybe four times.)  We believe that through…..

Kali:  Mom, I can do it!!  (AND SHE DID)

She memorizes things so quickly. 

 She wants to go into primary so bad with her friends, Lili and Brylie, it doesn’t help that Kaiya is out of town, she is her buddy in nursery.  So I told Kali our goal it to prepare for Primary by learning all 13 articles of faith before the new year. 

This was a little weird last week: 

Krew was only awake for 2 and ½ hours on Saturday, he woke up at 6:00 am went down for a nap at 8:30 am slept until 1:00 pm then was cranky again at 3:30 pm so I put him down and he didn’t wake up till 6:00 am Sunday morning.

 So of course on Sunday he woke up at 6:00 am and didn’t fall asleep until 10:00 am and only had a 1 hour nap during sacrament meeting and was up the rest of the day until 8:00 pm
