Why he does this look I don't know. But showing off his teeth and squinting up his eyes is his new thing. This is Caleb.... 
Yes I know I picked two, but he is either mister serious or mister smiles. Either way he is pretty darn cute if you ask me. And yes even Joshua with his unique look is cute in my eyes!
This is the most open part of the room. It also houses Samantha's table and most of the toys. 
Then there is a small step up that is the dividing line in the room. 
Samantha's bed and special stuff is there. No little girl is allowed past unless she has permission. Okay now the pictures may mean more to you. 
As I looked at these pictures I loved the progress made, but still see room for improvement. I think we have a problem with stuffed animals! 
The last big mess in the room is mine. It is the stuff that needs to be moved from upstairs to down stairs. Guess what that means! I need to go through down stairs stuff. I guess there always next week.
Yep that's little Caleb giving Melia rides on his dump truck. She can be one convincing girl when she wants to be. I will say she does give him rides also, so its not a one sided relationship.
That's what we went to see yesterday. A friend (http://www.squawcreekranch.blogspot.com/) had a annual petting zoo at her house. Well, because of weather it was actually in her house. She has a mama goat who just had triplets and her daughter just incubated a batch of chicks. What fun the girls had playing with the chicks and kids. Melia got to hold a baby goat!
She didn't let go of that goat for at least 45 mins. Joshua loved to snuggle with it as Melia held it. 
Ands it(Barbie) liked to chew on Melia. Kellina enjoyed picking up the chicks for about 5 seconds then tossing them back into their area. Samantha's favorite thing had nothing to do with the animals. It had everything to do with the tree house. Although she also had fun watching the mama goat get milked. The boys pretty much didn't care about the animals. They enjoyed the cookies! Although Caleb did like throwing blocks at the baby goats and watching them scatter. Yes, I did stop him. They both liked to play in the straw. I just convinced myself that it was clean enough and they both got a good scrub down when they were done. And this post wouldn't be complete without a cute shot of another kind of kid. This is Gracie she brought me chick after chick to hold.
Now if I could just get them to fold and put away!
These photos I took while Samantha learned about dog obedience. 
Not something Bonnie knows much about. Samantha also made a poster all about Bonnie who loves to eat shoes. It also contained info about beagles that Samantha looked up. 
And I know this is about Samantha, but I had to include this picture because it is my favorite kind of dog.
Stuck but still willing to pose for mom.
