Fingerprint Fun

So I've been looking for fun things to do with the kids to keep then busy. One thing we did while Isaac was sleeping was Zora helped my make thank you cards using her finger and ink pads. We got a little carried away with some of them but here's what we came up with. You can make just about anything that has a circle or oval in it's shape. I'm thinking we'll try making some pumpkins for Halloween, and maybe a spider too. For winter we'll have to make a snowman. This was really fun to do and easy to make. Even with my limited art ability, they look pretty cute and I'm sure Grandparents will love them knowing it's their little one's fingerprints on the page.



This one is our favorite. It reminds us of the Hungry Caterpillar that Zora loves to read about all the time!

Summer Sunflowers

Here are my little sunflowers showing off the flowers they planted earlier this summer. It's amazing that they survived after all the times that Isaac trampled the garden or dug up the dirt. I am amazed how much sunflowers grow each day. We'll definitely have to plant more next year. The kids loved to be a part of the planting process.

Entertaing 3 little ones

So this is what I came up with to keep my three kids happy at the same time so I can have a break.



We already have a stroller, but it's too big for the kids to push around so I found this smaller one that's perfect for in the house on our hardwood floors. After watching our kids destroy the dolly stroller from pushing each other in it, I knew it was time to invest in a sturdier model. I found this one at Walmart for $15. Happy days!

Vivian Grace Dickinson

7 pounds 7 and O's, 19 and a half inches long, "Vivy" joined a crew of some crazy and excited Dickinson's on August 2nd at 1:13 pm. Dad brought his catchers mit but she is the one that cought his heart. Mom is doing well saying that this was the easiest delivery ever. Zora and Vivi have alot in common. Zora has two buldgy eyes and Vivian has two buldgy chins. Isaac an't quit sure of this new invader yet but he was sure determined to get his fair share of holder her.

Occasionally they can be Sweet!

So I thought they looked so cute after church that I had the pose for the camera. It's pretty hard to get Isaac to hold sill for any amount of time, but luckily he has a sister who's trained him to say cheese every time the camera comes out. He'll do just about anything she does. These were my favorite pics...

One Crazy Kid!

So we never encouraged Isaac to do this. He just thought this is what underwear was used for. The pictures aren't the best so I hope you can tell what he's wearing.

In fact, he would get very upset if I didn't help him put it on his head. He definitely takes after his dad.

Let it Snow!

Boy, I'm happy to be in Idaho at this time of year. It seems like we haven't had a real winter in a long time where we can go out and build a snowman or go sledding. This is our second snowfall this winter but the first time Zora's been able to go out and play in it. She built a snowman with her dad and enjoyed being pulled in the sled by him too. Here's the pics
