Various Things this Week

James likes to dress up, just like his sisters.  It’s on my list to collect some more gender neutralish sorts of things to dress up in.  :)

For now…

Little Dutch boy!

He is a pretty sweaty boy, even just hanging around the house.

I LOVE what it did to his hair!!

Speaking of hair, I’m having drama with mine (but what’s new?!)  The other night I washed it before bed and then braided it.  The next day I was attempting to take a picture of it myself with the big camera.  It was hard.  :)  You can really see my very brown roots here though. 

I forgot to take a picture of it after I took the braids out – I love it all big and crinkly.  :)

The girls went to Vacation Bible School at Good Shepherd this week.  They’ve really never gone anywhere like this that wasn’t at our church, so it was a new experience for all of us!  They had fun, and it was kind of nice just having one or two boys at the house in the mornings.

This was their last day on Thursday:

I had to get a picture of Natalie’s T-shirt “ponytail.”

I think this was in the evening, which is why the light in the picture is so bad.  James found Natalie’s pink flower sandals and put them on himself.

He cracks me up.

James has recently discovered this “boy” thing of driving the cars around the house on his hands and knees – I love it!

Joanna was really concentrating on playing Anna’s guitar.

Kimberly was at Lisa’s house yesterday with her three, and I got to grab this one and love on him for a little while.

While my hands were full, though, James was being super-cute so Kimberly grabbed my camera for me.  :)

I loooooooooooove me a sweet three week old baby Eli!!!!

{And look – no more dark brown roots!}
