SNOW???

Well here is what the Perkins Family has been doing the past couple of days.
Today we woke up to see.....snow? What is that all about? It is 8:00 pm and still snowing! Isn't today the first day of Spring?! We were going to meet friends at the park today but decided against it. So instead we meet up with them at McDonald's for some play time and then headed to their house for more fun. We got this cute picture of them while we were at McDonald's. It is Joshua, Kiera, Brendyn, Alyssa and Isaiah.

On Thursday we decided to go to the Columbia Library. We don't go often because they aren't kid friendly in my opinion. We love our library! They are the best and they know us well. Here are some pictures of the trip.

Alyssa cooking breakfast, I think.

Brendyn reading a dinosaur book..surprised?

I have had Nevaeh for a week now and I think she enjoyed the library. She really liked putting the puzzles together. She also liked having me chase her all over the library.

Here is Joshua listening to a book on tape and watching it on TV.

They also enjoyed playing on the computers and learning about animals and letters. They are getting so good at working with the computers. I still have problems!

Friday we played outside and the kids played in the camper. The weather change was not nice. My kids were so excited about the nice weather (and so was I) and weren't the happiest when they woke up to snow this morning. They want to go camping soo bad (as do I). They also got to jump on the trampoline yesterday and asked today if they could push all the snow off of it and jump. They can be so cute at times. I hope everyone survives this weather and remember this to shall pass, and hopefully soon.

The attack of the pen

So a few nights ago I put all the kids to bed and begin cleaning the house (so much fun). About 30min later Joshua comes down the stairs looking like this! I ask him what happened. He said "Alyssa did it". I said, "why did she do that and why would you let her"? He said, "I don't know". So I began to clean his face. While I was doing that I said "I'm going to have a little talk with Alyssa". He said" well shes asleep and you can;t wake her up". At that point I wondered what was going on so I had Alan go check on Alyssa. Sure enough she was sound asleep.

We have been having problems with Joshua lying and he is really good at it. So while I finished cleaning his face we talked about what really happened. He finally said, "I did it". But he didn't know why. Then we had to have the talk, again about telling the truth. I'm not sure how many times we are going to have this conversation but it is getting old. At least it was his face this time and not my walls. You always have to look at the positive side. :)


SCARY!!

Such a cute face! It was a nice try to get out of trouble.
