Play time!

So I opted to forgo my dining room and decided instead to create a playroom to house all of the kid's toys. I think we had only used our dining room a total of 8 times in the nearly 4 years we have lived in this house. We really have only used it for buffet style dining when hosting parties or holiday gatherings. I am not sure anyone has ever really eaten in that room or at that table since we moved in. Although Derek might say I used it all the time as my dumping ground for things not yet having a home! Being the newly functional playroom, now it is used everyday. We love it and I am so glad we made it a special place for the boys.

Hatcher has reached the age where he wants to do everything himself. He wants to open and close doors, turn the tv/radio/remote control toys on and off. Most recently he insists on dressing himself and some days chooses his own clothes. On Sunday, he went into his closet and picked out the outfit you see him wearing below. He brought the clothes to Derek and said, "Daddy, I can't reach my socks." Man, I know I say this a lot...but they grow up so fast!

Marma came by on Sunday and brought lunch for everyone. The boys loved getting to visit with her and were even more surprised when both Uncle Jared and Uncle Ben stopped by for a quick afternoon visit. Hatcher had fun playing with everyone. It was a nice family Sunday at Casa de Kemmerlin! Hope you are all well.
