Sarah loves to color

Sarah loves to color on paper, but every now and then she forgets to keep the crayons on the paper.  I just handed her a flower coloring page so I could finish the marshmallow post below, to turn around and find the black crayon was on her face instead of the paper.  This is her saying "Cheese" for the camera with the black crayon she used on her face.  It looks worse in person that this picture can show.  

Camping in

Well, even though it is February, it has been wonderfully warm here.  We even slept with the window open one night for the nice breeze.  So, the kids wanted to camp outside with their dad.    But just as they had it planned for a Friday night, it got too cold.  So, we had to go for plan B.  We camped inside, well, by "we" I mean, Frank and the kids.  I slept in my own bed while Frank took the couch and the kids slept in the indoor tent in the living room.  They have done this before, so, I had to do something special to help with the disappointment. So, I bought stuff for indoor s'mores, and used the mini marshmallows for a marshmallow fight.  We had a blast throwing things at each other, and it didn't even hurt.  I think we will have to do that again another weekend.  
Sarah had a blast too.  A few days later when we were having hot chocolate and marshmallows, Sarah took a marshmallow and walked up to Frank and threw it at him.  I don't even think she knows that you can eat them, thank goodness.  I wonder how long they take to break down in your stomach? 

Just some fun pictures

 Our silly Sarah.  She loves these old frames.  
 I tried to make her look like a mad scientist.  
 Daniel got stinging nettle.  He was using ice water in a baggy after washing his leg.  
 He just wanted a silly picture here with his ice water.
Notice the mark on her check, her chin and pen on her forehead.  She had a busy afternoon.
