Yesterday the church hosted a preschool cooking day. I took both kids. They had a blast. We started out making our placemats:
We then made aprons:
Our finished aprons:
We then headed into the kitchen to start cooking. 
We made fruit kabobs, calazones, and fruit pizza:
After all of the cooking we set our places and ate our yummy lunch:
Yep, she crawls up the slide and goes down the stairs. She goes up the stairs some, but mostly the slide. Man she slept GOOD last night. We are still trying to find a good spot for this. It is huge! I do not want it here it is too close to the door and last night she fell into the toys. So we tried a new spot today, but it also will not work. Guess I am going to have to clean up the entire playroom to move furniture to find a place for it! Oh well, it needs a good cleaning.
Elijah graduated from Guppie swimming class on Saturday. He did wonderful. Doug has been taking him to classes, so this was the first time I have gotten to see him. He puts his head under, jumps in, "swims" with support, and floats with support! The teacher added another class to start tonight, so we went ahead and enrolled him in the Level 1 class!! Here are a few pictures of the fun!
Then she just shook the rail and screamed "UUUUUUPPPPP". 
She is the only kid I know that actually likes to go to bed. She just giggles when we put her to bed. I had to tighten the screws on the side rail, she has shaken them loose. What am I going to do with this girl?

2. Mommy we need more toilet paper!!!!!
3. Then rip it to a gazillion pieces!!!!!!!!!!
THE GATE IS STILL HERE!!!!!!!!
MAKE IT GO AWAY!! I JUST WANT TO GO UP THE STAIRS!
Slow for us I would say. Yesterday we stayed home and did some cleaning and laundry. Man was I behind on the laundry. I also painted while the kids had a nap/rest time. We are trying to get the house together for our homestudy. So here is a run down of our week. Mon, Wed, Thurs-Elijah has swimming lessons. Tues, Wed, Thurs-Sarah has therapy appointments. Tues night-Doug and I have an adoption education meeting. Wed-Sarah and I will go to church(Elijah and Doug to swimming lessons). Fri we have a playdate with A and O to go swimming. Sat-Elijah has swimming lessons graduation. Pop-pop and Karen are coming to see him graduate and will stay the weekend. So, see a slow week!! I guess I have just gotten use to being on the go and it really seems like a slow week. Not much to blog about so far. Here are a few pictures I took
of the kids a few minutes ago so I would have some to post.
Sarah is suppose to be napping in these pictures. 
So this is how all of the ships sank, Elijah was driving!
We installed a gate at the bottom of the stairs today because Sarah loves to climb the stairs. She has no fear! We also had to install it for our homestudy/safety visit for our adoption. Sarah was not happy with the gate. She pitched a major fit. Elijah then came in the hallway and had a cookie. Guess who got the cookie.
hmm, I think she likes cookies.
After we got all of the cookie cleaned up, she decided to try the gate again,
she is not happy she is actually growling at me.
Elijah has had a very busy week. He has been going to Mini Music Camp at church every morning. He has had a blast. I asked him on Mon what they did and he said "We did a lot of music". Hmmm, I guess I just thought he knew it was MUSIC camp, hence a lot of music. He was telling Sarah this morning all about camp and that when she got older she would get to go and it was lots of fun. Today at lunch they presented their musical. It was so cute. I got a few pictures before the batteries went dead in the camera, but I video all of it. If I get adventurous I will try to post the video. 
Elijah has also been taking swimming lessons at night. Doug takes him for this. He is doing some of the stuff. Swimming is not his favorite thing. He hates to get water on his face. We are hoping the lessons help. He will have lessons next week also. On Sat they will have graduation so I will share pictures then also.
The kid's cherry yogurt looks like blood when spit up later, so DO NOT PANIC. Most mornings we put Sarah's vitamins in yogurt. Both kids love the cotton candy yogurt, which happens to come with cherry yogurt, so they have to eat the cherry before we buy more yogurt. I forgot to give Sarah her reflux medicine this morning and about 20 minutes after having her yogurt she spit up...red...blood red spit up. Scared me to death. I nearly broke my neck trying to get to her. I was so relieved when I figured out it was yogurt. I don't think I will be giving the kids the cherry yogurt again anytime soon, it just is not worth that scare. I am shaking just retelling it. 
Yep, he is tall enough to ride! Here is Jason, Daddy and Elijah riding the go-carts:
Here is Sarah playing with pink kitty Daddy won for her in the arcade:
Now on to the glo-golf at Opry Mills:
Elijah won, of course! Here is the kids at the cars:
Everyone had a blast. It was a fun day and the kids slept really good last night!!
