Even Danny is getting in on this playdate (or at least, the snack time)! The mall is still an all-time favorite destination around here. Where else can you get tractor rides and cake pops? Last weekend, we had a special visit from some of Jim’s extended family. The kids were so happy to see their “cousins” Chloe and Lauren. So was I, especially since Chloe and Lauren are so good with kids I barely had to do anything for my kids all day! See? Even Danny was thrilled with our visitors! Here he’s cuddling with Chloe: He loved looking at Lauren: While Jimmy hid with Bubba:
And Becky took a leisurely stroll with the big girls:
Big kids are the best! We had a lovely Memorial Day holiday today, making the most of the sunshine since we’ve been drowning in rain the past few days! We started the day off with breakfast on the deck, per the kids’ request (which unfortunately ended in Becky getting an awful splinter from the deck that I couldn’t get out – thankfully our dear friend Carrie came over this evening for dinner and she was able to dig it out while I held Becky still and consoled her. I don’t think I’ve ever had to hold a kid in that much pain before. I felt so bad for sweet Becky, and I was so thankful that Carrie was willing to be the bad guy and inflict the pain that was necessary to help her heal): Our friends joined us for our first boating outing of the season, and the kids were delighted to get to splash in the (freezing!) water: Becky and Jimmy air-dried up on top of the tower: And Becky also enlisted some cuddles to help her warm up: Susie happily took her first tube ride of the year, and wowed us all with her bravery! Jimmy also took a long tube ride. We definitely have another “Mable” lover! Danny hung out with Jim’s mom while we were boating, and then was content to get passed around in the evening. He’s already a ladies’ man! I wish I looked half as cute as Becky in my own hat! 🙂
The girls are VERY excited by their new “big kid” water bottles. Now if only they were spill-proof like sippy cups! What do you get when you cross two girls with a roll of Scotch tape and their little brother?
A sticky mess (Especially considering they added in PB&J crumbs into the mix)! We stuck four kids in and on the same cart for the first time. It worked well, even if Jimmy wasn’t initially keen on sharing the front row!
Danny was on board with his new place in life! |
