Getting Crazy and Creative

These kids always find something to do. I've tried to direct some of that energy into doing something a little different than the normal every day. We are trying something new. I thought it would be fun to learn about different cultures and countries. I thought we could do different activities somewhat related to the countries, read some books or watch a movie, and eat some semi-authentic food. Bentley wanted to eat spaghetti and meatballs, so we started with Italy! We didn't do too much learning about the culture this time, but we painted some pasta and made necklaces, and ate gelato!! We all had fun and thought we should try again. There are also few videos, mostly of Mackenzie, of what we've been up to.
The wild hair matches the wild girl!!
She wakes up like this everyday
Fun with filters



They even got Uncle Keyan in on the fun

Getting a treat from Oma!  They loved it!!
Painting pasta!!
Is this considered abstract art???
4 kids with paint brushes is always a HUGE mess, but they had fun.  I try to remind myself of the second half of that sentence rather than focusing on the first half.  It's a struggle!!
Gelato was a massive hit!!  We all loved it.  Radley took a bite and exclaimed, "Mind blown!"  He apparently loved it!



I didn't realize she had been watching us exercise close enough to pick up some moves, haha! She's got some pushups, pilates, burpees, etc.



One day Mackenzie fell down and scraped her knee.  It was the first real scab she's had and one she could see.  Every time she would see it or look at it, it made her cry.  It was pretty pathetic but also cute.



Radley has never really had any fear.  Damon jumping off this height isn't too high, but it's high for little Radley. 



Mackenzie was kind of nervous about this bug we found on the trampoline, but once I got her to hold it, she loved it!!  She will now hold almost any bug she finds and isn't scared of them anymore!
