Around the House

Brody's first encounter with "video games" - He loved it!!! So funny how intriguing they are - he had no idea what he was doing with this little hand held game but he was pushing the buttons like crazy grunting and hollering!!! I had accidentally brought it home with me from VBS - it belonged to one of the boys in my class - oops!! But he's playing the piano at the same time so I think it all evens out!? ;) We went and met some friends at Firewheel play area. They have this great fountain that throws a nice mist on you when standing at the right spot and then it is really pretty landscaped with bridges, streams, rocks etc. I was brave and walked through freely with the boys but I didn't have extra hands to take pictures!!! There were a couple kids wading in the water so they were extremely tempted but we made it back to the car dry and no falls!! WHEW! When Ainsley gets tired of her hair accessories I think she puts them on the boys so she doesn't have to carry them. They don't mind, so for now it works. In a couple of years I see them fighting this a little more....maybe not?...only time will tell. We have had such a busy summer so far! Fun, but busy!! I finally called a day of NOTHING! We stayed in our pj's ALL day long, I took a three hour nap along with the boys (Ainsley joined in for a bit), and we just played around the house! It was very nice and much needed!!! We've been watering out neighbors yard while they are out of town so this time I took the kids and they played a bit in their backyard with new toys and enjoyed getting hit by the sprinklers!! Findley cheering on a stomp rocket we found at their house - he found this quite entertaining. You step on an air pump and it sends a styrofoam rocket into the air....we did it over and over and over and over and over again!!! Brody trying out a bike..... and Ainsley enjoying the trampoline!!
