Then, it is time to play.
And its also time for kisses from brother!
Silly time!
I love the chubs!
Mommy loves nap time in this house. I hardly get it.
Anytime I can put Abbie down is amazing in itself. I love to snuggle and cuddle, but even mommy needs a break once in a while.
Well, they are finally earning their keep!
We have deemed Clara the egg collector! She loves this chore!
Clara started first grade this year.
We also decided to start James in the "Nursery " program with the Abeka curriculum.
Clara will be having several new subjects, including Spelling, Reading, Social Studies, Art, etc.
She loves to color.
We have new neighbors- Josh Workman and Ashley Perry!
The kids really enjoyed it! We look forward to going to many more games and cheering on Josh, our awesome neighbor!
We decided to try out the new Children's Garden at Botanica.
Gummy Worms-check!
What a fun entrance!
These toad stools were too cute.
Stepping stones in the pond were a little small for mommy's "big" feet. 
Water+Kids=Way too much fun!
Hey! We have that chicken!
Climbing in the tree house was fun too.
Oh no! The tree is going to eat us!
The "music garden" was quite enjoyable too
Making it rain with pebbles.
Either we all shrunk in size or that lady bug is gigantic!
This caterpillar had a secret compartment in it's hiney filled with costumes for kids to dress up in. I didn't know caterpillars could produce costumes.
Clara ran into our bedroom last night and informed us that she had a loose tooth. We were excited for Clara but sad, realizing that this is a sign of getting older.
All day today, she kept giving the status of her tooth. 
I finally had enough of the "tooth", as it was interfering with her schoolwork. 
Now, all she talks about is the tooth fairy coming tonight. 
Disney's "Little Mermaid" came Wichita. Clara got to go with Grandpa, Daddy and Aunt Elizabeth. They all had a lot of fun.
Mommy looks tired doesn't she? This little girl keeps mommy pretty busy. 
Daddy's pants were needing a button replaced. Simple right?! Obviously too simple for mommy to spend her busy time repairing. So, with daddy's supervision, Clara fixed the button. She was so proud of herself. I think we'll keep her.
Here is our only melon we got this year-that was edible. 
It didn't get eaten fast enough. 
"Cheese rollups" get eaten faster here.
They are a constant request by our 6 year old.
Clara turned 6! I can't believe it! We celebrated her birthday at my parent's house. 
She received a lot of fun dolls, including Sleeping Beauty and . . . 
Fancy Nancy! Clara has since really enjoyed the adventures of Fancy Nancy. And now,it seems everything is "fancy". 
She is a silly girl! We love you!
