I Heart Faces: Hands-On Fun

I haven't entered an i heart faces contest in a while. Mainly because I either haven't had a picture that fit the theme or I knew that my picture wasn't up to par with all the great pics that get submitted ever week. This week was different though.As soon as I saw the theme I knew I had a great picture to submit.

I took this picture last summer while the boys were outside playing, just being boys. This is Henry showing off some seeds that he found! I love you can see every crease and wrinkle in his hand and I love the blurred waterhose in the background too:)

Go check out i heart faces this week and see all the great Hands-On Fun pictures!

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
********************************

I did NOT act like a kid in a candy store when I walked into Target and saw that their dollar section stuff was 75% off! I did NOT get excited because of all the pretty good dollar items that only cost 25 cents! I did NOT end up leaving with four bags full of stuff that I only spent a little over $20 on:)

We did NOT have an awesome time on our mini vacation that we got back from on Wednesday of last week. We have NOT been back for almost five days, and there is NOT still a huge pile of vacation laundry sitting in the breakfast room waiting for my attention. I have NOT been simply ignoring the dirty clothes until I know the boys are completely out of clean underwear, pants, and school uniforms! I am NOT so lazy that I just let the laundry go until the VERY LAST minute:)

What have you NOT been up to this week?

Things I Learned on Vacation

1. Driving down a snowy mountain road is beautiful and a little scary.

2. Snow tubing is a TON of fun.3. Grant is a typical goofy middle child:) 4. Eli is an adorable snow bunny...red cheeks and all!5. My boys are growing up and doing a lot more without help from Mom or Dad.6. Well, some of them:) 7. Someone always has to go to the bathroom and/or get their diaper changed.

8. Playing in the snow makes you very, very, very tired!9. Pushing a stroller in the snow is actually not as hard as you would think!

10. Riding up is much easier than skiing up or walking up. 11. Eli is an adorable snow bunny!

12. Always take a change of clothes for your kiddos. Ski pants are made to go OVER regular pants...they are not a very good substitute for regular pants.

13. Snowflakes and camera lens don't always get along!

14. Eli is the easiest child to take a picture with because it is hard for him to run away while you are holding him! 15. We are going to have some very interesting video footage. {That is Jason on the left videoing Henry and Grant coming down the hill.}16. I take way too many pictures.

17. Henry got pretty good in just three hours of skiing.18.Grant will sometimes be sweet and pose for pictures.

19. It is nearly impossible to get everyone to look at the camera!20. Nine hours in the car with three little kids is about eight hours too long. Thank goodness for DVDs!

21. I LOVE vacation!
