A Random Afternoon at the Harper Hullabaloo

This is what a typical afternoon looks like at our house. Beckett is finishing up some Reading skills work. Will finds a left-over biscuit from breakfast.
Am I in trouble mom?
Helen is worn out after a long day at Mother's Day Out....goes to her room to play with dolls....gives up and takes a nap. (This is seriously how I found her!)
Will entertains himself by unloading silverware from the dishwasher. (All sharp objects WERE removed before he participated in this activity!)
Helen wakes up, gets a snack and decides to eat it while sitting in Will's saucer. (which he does NOT like to be in anymore!)
And just because this warms my heart....I give you a little video clip of Will "reading". He likes to sit and flip through books now. He loves to sit in my lap and listen to books, and now if I'm not with him, he will get a book and "read" it to himself. He even got tired of the one he was looking at and went for another one! Love it!
If you have an extra moment and would like to see some really cool pictures, please check out my friend Olivia's photography blog! We met her yesterday afternoon in downtown LC for a little photo shoot with the kids! She has an incredible gift and takes the most wonderful pictures! I was honored that she asked me to let her "practice" on my kiddos! She posted some of the pictures that she took on her blog! I LOVE how they turned out!

Hello! I wanted to let you know that Peder didn't do that comment and they (actually the person who controls his You Tube) are checking in to what happened. Sorry! Feel free to repost! It definitely did not offend them in any way!

Thanks for letting us know that happened!
