My Faith and Joy… and Boys!

Jimmy’s first trip to the park last week was a little chilly:

But fortunately, we had a little more sunshine today, so my mom and I took the kiddos out for an afternoon at the park.  It takes a little more gear to take three kids out than two!

Jimmy found the excursion uninspiring:

But the girls were very excited to play outside, especially since Grammie came equipped with new sand toys:

Hooray for fun in the sun!

When the girls aren’t clamoring to show their toys to baby Jimmy…

…who by the way thinks all the attention paid to him is rather sleep-inducing…

…they’re being happily entertained by their Grammie’s never-ending supply of new tricks and toys, like these paints:

You can see that Susie took a free-wheeling, outside-the-lines approach to color selection:

But she paid careful attention to her brush-holding form:

Whereas Becky preferred to keep her colors separate:

But wasn’t as concerned with the actual application of the paint:

It’s hard to believe that it won’t be long before I’ll be having to wash down the messy bodies of THREE messy artists!
