Chloe's art skills and the pool!

This last week we went to pool 3 times. It was so much fun. I loved just watching the kids play and enjoy themselves.
Peyton does NOT enjoy water so, I either leave her at home and bring the baby moniter over while she takes her nap or she comes and just watches the kids from the comfort of her stroller.

I'm finally able to just let them play and I don't have to be in there with them which lets me do what I love to do and tan. I LOVE to sun bathe.

This morning, I found Chloe playing in the toilet with some of her crayons. (It's not unusual for her to play in toilet water.) After telling her so nicely that we don't play in the toilet (again) and that we don't play with crayons unless mommy says so, Braxton came running in to tell me that she had been drawing. Wanting to see her most recent artwork, I went with him to see. Lucky me, I got to see first hand her most recent destructive artwork. She is quite talented! She can ruin anything if you look away for only a moment. Its just such a shame that I can't keep it forever, or even a day. The only thing I have to show her when she gets older are all the pictures of it. If only she'd use paper once in a while....
I know it's hard to see, but I'm sure you get the point. Lovely circles. Where did I put my star stickers. With a drawing like this I should give her a star for creativeness. Maybe not, I guess most kids use their walls as a canvas.
Her beautiful blue lines.

Loving the red. She kept pointing to it and telling me "pink, pink." Sorry Love, it's red.
Here she is so, SO proud of her masterpiece. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find that magic eraser.....

Chloe is so beautiful! I love that picture of her! And magic erasers are a gift from heaven itself. Before them, my kids had to use an old toothbrush and toothpaste to get it off themselves, and it was such a pain.

Oh what a stinker, and I can say that cause I love little Chlo-Chlo!! You are quite the patient mom to let her pose next to it and smile without flipping out, I might not have been so pleased! Good circles, though!

I totally love that last picture of Chloe, she looks so grown up! I am glad that you are getting some time to lay out. I don't totally love laying out, I am normally too interested in playing! That is why we are such good friends, you can lay out and I will play with the kids. Perfection!
