The weekend so far

Welcome, May! How is it that you are here already!?

Friday afternoons are nice. It's a good feeling to be done with the school routine for the week and have the weekend to look forward to. It was warm yesterday afternoon, so the kids wanted to play outside. Neighbor friends were out too, and before long they found a water hose. They had a blast spraying each other with that cold water! Meanwhile, the girls were playing inside over at N's house. They were so cute when they came outside all dressed up carrying their dolls. I wish you could see N's high-heel dress up shoes in this picture! :) They came in our house after this, and I loved hearing them talk to Crosby. They kept calling him "honey", which made me laugh. I think he liked the extra attention.

Today's soccer game was cancelled due to the weather. Instead, my sister's kids came and stayed with us for a few hours. Jaiden brought a bag of stickers and paper which kept them busy for quite a while. Jaiden decided to write a story about Toads in her journal (and draw an illustration to go with it) while Rhett wrote a letter to Mo and Granddad, Alexee played with the stickers and Jeryn threw the ball for Bogart over and over--Bogart got his exercise today! Rhett & Jaiden also watched a movie while the little kids played in the playroom, then they all went out on the deck for a while and ate cotton candy.

Alexee and Jeryn got a little muddy in the back yard (we had a big rain/thunderstorm last night). This is what A's dress looked like when we brought her, Jeryn and Bogart inside (they all went straight to the bathtub). Thank goodness for Shout.
