Our blog is woefully behind because I've been working on publishing my old posts into a book. My friend Lauren taught me how to do a few things in photoshop and I've been working on getting it done most evenings.

The kids have been playing in the basement a lot lately. We spent a lot of time this summer getting out of the house but now that our summer activities are winding down we are spending more time at home. They dress up almost every day.

Lauren doesn't really enjoy getting her nails trimmed. To persuade her into letting me clean and cut them I promised to paint them pink. She claims purple and pink as her favorite colors.

Wednesday we went to the aquarium with Memaw, Melanie and Laura. I wanted to do a fun "end of the summer" activity with Will and Lauren and they both regularly ask to go there. We've gone quite a few times considering the cost (most of our activities are as close to free as possible). The kids loved watching all the fish in large tank. My favorite sea creatures are the octopus, jellyfish, rays, seahorses, and eels.

Thursday evening after dinner Anthony and I were visiting in the TV room. We could hear the kids playing and then it got quiet. When I went to check on them I found Lauren lying on my bed and Will bringing her a pacifier. Lauren was tired and had decided she wanted to sleep on our bed. Will likes to do her bidding when the mood suits him. He's been going into her room during our afternoon quiet time and getting her drinks, handing her toys and reading her books. It keeps both of them from sleeping or getting a good rest and I've been trying to get him to stop. When I asked him this week to leave her alone during quiet time he told me, "Sorry Mom, I'm not going to listen to you. If Lauren asks me for a drink I'm going to get it for her."

Each day the MLB network has a free game that anyone outside of the featured teams' market area can watch. This week two of the games were Royals games. The next day you can watch the old game. Will watched Thursday's game twice Friday and pretended to be at bat each time a Royals' player was up.

Lauren was in a great mood during her bath tonight. For the past few weeks we've been doing showers and it was nice to let her play and be silly.

I will be shocked if Will doesn't play baseball when he's older.:)
Will is such a wonderful big brother! I'm excited to see their bond continue to grow as they get older :) Love these kiddos!!
That's hilarious about Will doing stuff for Lauren. You'd like to hope it's purely selfless love that motivates him to be sweet. :)
Oh, and good for you for getting so much done on that photo book!
I loved that he apologized and said he wasn't going to listen to you. Was that annoying in the moment or cute?
And so the back talk begins. I'm not a fan of that particular 4 year old trait. You'll have to let me know if you like using photoshop to edit/publish your blog books.
