We skipped or should I say threw rocks in the water.
We waded and tossed our boat out for a ride.
The boys take a seat to watch her master the craft of boat throwing. How cute are they?
She did such a great job with the boat and wading in the mud to rescue the boat.
Yes, we got them to take their socks off to get in the water but it didn't take long for them to realize their feet were dirty... funny because I barely rememeber shoes when I played outside as a child!
He tried to shovel water... and look at how much there is! Praise God!!
Their spring time fasination is caterpillars, so finding one at the lake was cool!
Oh yes, a few Little People managed to make the trip as well! He was very disappointed that I wouldn't let them ride in the boat. However, I knew they would be gone and how much that would break his heart.
No trip closes without some drama, right? The boat somehow broke free... but daddy saved the day!
Seven new Little People for the sandbox $4.90.
Hello Kitty basket $1.49.
Her first party had a games and an excellent clown. She sat completely still for almost an hour! You may see him at a future Foster birthday party!!
Her second party was at a great park. The weather was perfect and she was so tired on the way home... oh yea we fit in some shopping time too!
My boys dressed in Carolina blue and attended a Dook Spring Football game... yes they proved Tar Heels can enjoy football anywhere! Now who has noticed the spelling error? Yes, its on the field... everyone knows its DOOK not Duke!!!
He picked up some "football language" and got to use it on the field... Ready, Set, GO! Now, now he's only two!
On Monday, she came home from preschool with this cute little hat. Her teacher told me it was for the Hat Day Parade but since she wouldn't be there it was coming on home. I never really thought much (except that I was glad one of her school days wasn't cut 30 minutes short :)!) Then while she was talking to daddy before bed she mentioned that she was one of two children that weren't going to be in the parade in a sad voice... so of course daddy told her she could go and of course I took her. He even got to join his class too! They were so proud and adorable. Its the simple things that mean so much!! The only downside was I forgot my camera... then her teacher sent this today! Yeah!
Clowns made cool balloons... he couldn't keep his out of his mouth so the bear never made it to the car!
The cake was a hit for the boy!
She was ( and still is) very proud of her heart balloon.
They were so excited to see their big cousins and maybe get candy too?
We learned you can still play outside even in sprinkles. But daddy has to stay with the children if he ever opens the sand box in the sprinkles again!!!
Oh Boy did he understand what to do this year! He had trouble opening them... he wanted to eat each piece of candy as he opened the egg!
She did so well. She even helped her cousin Joshh (who was on crutches) get eggs in his basket! How sweet is she? We had a great day of fellowship with family!
Look at our boy! He has always been jealous of her hair clips... especially on the days she puts in 25 or 30 of them. So today I let him put some in... shear joy followed!!
He was soooooooo excited but luckily he wanted them out quickly!
I was going to post pictures from our trip to Pullen Park last Friday until the hair clips took over. Here is on shot of them enjoying the 80 degree weather.
