Kids love to dress up

My kids love to play, for the most part they play really well together. There are times when I don't see them for a really long time. We have a dress up area in the playroom, but recently they have been using their own clothes to dress how they need to. They have come down in some great looks, but it does cause a lot of laundry. Here is Reagan as a princess. She always wears this dress, and of course the high heels, crown and princess wand.

Any guesses who Brayden is? He has been a bit obsessed with Star Wars since our trip to Disneyland when he was able to fight Darth Vadar. He is Luke Skywalker. He was practicing the moves he learned while he was a trainee at Disneyland. I heard "activate, left shoulder, right shoulder, left knee, duck, on top, deactivate" so many times the weeks following our trip.

Brayden has learned to keep his light saber close by, Dallin thinks it is pretty cool too.

Since Brayden is always practice his moves, Reagan wanted to show me her moves.

Their room

We finally finished the kid's room. This is one of our first rooms we painted, over a year and a half ago. It is pretty crazy how life can really take up so much of your time. Don't mind the blackout curtain hanging in their room, it is our temporary fix for helping the kids go to sleep when it is still so bright out. The kids love to sleep in the same room, but ever since Reagan no longer goes to bed with a binkie it has been a bit more challenging to get these two to sleep. If we can get Reagan to bed first, then we usually have them both asleep by 8:30. If we try to put them to bed at the same time, it is usually close to 10 before they are both asleep. They do have a great time playing, and they are the best of friends. It can be fun to listen to them, when I am not tired and wanting to go to bed myself. The left wall has some pictures of our family. Above their bed is their initial. Above their book shelf is a board that has all the Articles of Faith on it. On the right wall there is a picture of the Boise Temple and a growth chart. I love having the growth chart in their room. We try to add their heights on their birthdays. 

On the opposite wall is their dresser. Each of them have a basket that they can keep their things in. You can see Reagan loves to keep everything. We also hang their artwork on their wall to display.

Reagan needed to be in all the pictures I took, she loves her letter or as she yells, "It's my letter!"

The kids have been doing a great job making their beds each morning. They are both so proud to do their part.

I had to share, although the picture does not do it justice, this was the most brilliant rainbow I think I have ever seen. You could even see the difference between the blue and violet. For a moment there was a second rainbow above it. It was a great way to end the day.
