Taking care of cousins, oh so fun! :)

This is a normal Spring visit with the family.... yep, we have some animal foster parents in the family. 

A friend was painting faces to raise money for her missions trip, that is about the only time I don't mind "forking over money" for the joy of face painting! :)  

Sammy wanted a camping scene.. this is the fire and tree and moon. :) there was a pup tent on the other cheek.

Mercy had an alligator and a snake. they were harder to capture on film though...

Some reasons why I love little people.

They fall asleep whenever they need to, where ever they are.

They make everyday tasks so much more exciting! Who knew unloading groceries with mommy could turn into Castle building time, and a kingdom for the pile of banana's we bought. (they are inside the castle walls, you just can't see them)

They make beautiful flower arrangements to surprise you! (Jamieson presented Julia and I with these little ribbon tied delights when we arrived at school yesterday! )

They talk to themselves for an entire meal when you are out of words. I think she even uses different voices when she carries the conversation by herself! ha.
