I am not creative at all, so finger painting is about as extensive of "arts and crafts" as we do at our house! It lasts about 5-10 minutes but the clean up is much longer but worth seeing how much fun they have! 
Good picture- late summer visit with Greg's family. We enjoyed the first trip to Nashville with the kids last weekend, the kids loved seeing "Hadden and Spencer's house" and had lots of fun running around with them all weekend! They traveled much better on this shorter trip and slept good, although Kiley refused to go to bed until we did. She was sleeping in our room on her Dora air mattress and think she was afraid she was missing some of the party downstairs!
They are really starting to copy one another doing silly things to make me laugh all day! I have the best (and yes sometimes hardest) job! 
This is the first real time the kids have been split up! Cason is going to MDO on Tuesdays and Kiley on Thursdays so I can have some much needed one on one time with each of them. This is the third week and so far it has been going pretty well! Kiley was very mad at me the first week and tried all things to get me not to leave her crying "my tummy hurts don't leave me mommy" and when I picked her up she would not look or talk to me until we got to the car. She then looked me in the eyes and said "you leaved me mommy" Last week the teacher told me Cason started asking "when mommy coming" and she would answer "after you eat your lunch" so finally he went and got his bag, took his lunch out and said "ready to eat lunch" and the teacher told him it was only 10:30! Smart guy thinking- ok, if mommy is coming after I eat, I will just eat now! Funny kids
