what we're up to...

before and after the cupcake shot - before: mommy removing the tubs of Betty Crocker frosting & cake mix boxes. after: all of the cupcakes sliding off the tray. still want one?!!

she's actually quite good at Jenga - and it's quick, easy, and challenging enough to be fun for everyone.


I do not make her do these things: she offers and asks. The fireplace sweeping is a favorite of hers -- not mine! Chloe does love to do as much cleaning as I let her. I usually don't go back over her work; because of this our home is a little bit clean.
She is EATING and SLEEPING in big ways lately. She astonishes us with her eating and although isn't a regular napper has been falling asleep at strange (and awkward) times. Consequently, I was out picking up some new clothes for the long legged beauty.

Mmmmm! Those cupcakes are lookin' good! I'm laughing though, because we sure have had our share of cupcake mishaps!

Love the "Cinderella" photos...the one with Chloe in her Snow White outfit while cleaning really made me laugh!! Kiara loves to clean too & I take total advantage of that around here! lol!

Sounds like Beautiful Chloe is right smack in the middle of a growth spurt with all the eating & sleeping!

Looks like you guys have been very busy! Baking, playing games, and having a little bit of "cleaning" fun is just a great way to enjoy the days indoors!

Love the new page! And what a great helper you have there. Katie-Beth has her moments, but overall she would much rather "supervise" mommy's cleaning!
