Life in the World of Minis

The Boog

I think you would be hard pressed to find a kinder, bigger hearted little boy than this one. In most of these pictures he is entertaining or helping Clara. He is just that kind of big brother! He is a bike rider this year and a kindergartener! He loves learning to read, write, and memorize facts!

Dolly Antics

I defy you to scroll through these pictures and NOT smile at the least and most likely laugh out-loud!! This is my Mini Me it all her glory! These pictures are through mid September. It was a summer to remember!

This is Clara Jeanne this summer. She could not possibly be more fun! She keeps us all smiling and laughing and rolling our eyes and jumping at her command! She is a great little Sissy and we love her!

Hair

Ben's Spiky Hair. His favorite look.

This is what Clara calls Rupunzel Hair. Very good for summer heat!

Sibling Love

I love these two! All summer it was not uncommon to find them in the same bed! They really do get on sooo well!

Work and Earn

Ben and Clara are learning one of THE most important things anyone can learn, how to work! They have a list of chores the must do each day just because they breath air and happen to do so in my home! Then they have a list of chores that they must do in order to earn money! Yes, that is right the 2 and 5 year olds earn MONEY! They love it! I love it! Theya really are very much help!

They like to load the washing machine, this is a hard one but they really like it. They also each have particular items the fold and or put away when the laundry is clean.

This is my FAVORITE!! Ben loves to vaccuum! Which is a life saver for me because I do NOT like to because it hurts my bad shoulder. He gets a quarter per room so I do not feel like it is too much child labor!

Clara loves puting the silverware away and it actually saves me time too! I can clear out the rest of the dishwasher while she does this!

This is the happy day they got to go spend their privilege money at the dollar store! Ben bought race cars and clara bought princess bubbles. The night before we had a Family Home Evening lesson about saving and tithing. The next Sunday they gave their envelops of tithing to the Bishop. They are such good workers and helpers!

For Reference

These photos were taken in July, I believe, and they are too cute not to blog. They also serve as a good reference point to just HOW much these two have grown up the past couple months!
