Sunday Funday

Buenos Dias! The kidlets and I are spending time with my hubby's family while he is in Oregon working and we are having a great time in Frensno.  All the aunts and cousins and infmaous GG stayed with the kids yesterday so I could go and enjoy my friends wedding, which was a super blast.  This morning we went to church even though it was raining (pat on the back) and Emmy is excited to get to play with a big doll house Aunt debbie is bringing over for her.  The twins are starting to walk up a storm which is really adorable and really weird at the same time.  How are my little itty bitty babies walking!! It is such a fun phase for them and Emmerson gets a real joy out of them walking to her and giving her big hugs.  The newest addition to our family is the coolest invention ever and he is the Elf on the shelf.  Emmy named him Mickey even though it's a girl elf with a white skirt :))  She sits on the mantle, the fridge, the shelf (go figure) and today Emmy woke up and the elf is perched on the chandelier.  THis concept of the elf always watching and reporting back her behavior to Santa each night is amazing!  Im pretty sure the elf is here to stay :)) 
We were getting a little cabin fevery yesterday so we just went out and played with leaves, duck duck goose and Jake was happy to be playing with his sisters bike helmet and Benson Loves this cookie jar toy with a very fascinating lid.  It's tough to stay entertained in the house when it's raining out with 3 kids but we are going to get creative today and have a plato party perhaps in the kitchen and resort to a good ole fashion fort building sesh.  My goal is to make the house look like a tornado/hurricane of child stuff didn't just happen but that brings me to one of my favorite sayings "cleaning the house while the kids are still growing, is like shoveling snow while its still snowing!"  very true.
