Williams B-day

We didn't do much for Williams birthday this year because we were all sick. Well, we were mostly over it, but William was still throwing up if he ate anything besides bread and bananas. So....a few days after the fact we pulled out the sand and water table we got for him (and the girls) and put it together. We were hoping it would help him to get out his obsession with dumping everything out of containers in a controlled environment. I'll let you know when that actually happens.  Thank you dear boy for the half a bottle of honey dumped all over the living room and playroom floor this morning.  I love you William.  I hope you enjoy this, especially since you had a cruddy b-day.

 ....aaaand there's the William I'm used to, make a big mess and then disappear.

 take two... move to the grass and just add water.

Garden Update

Our peas are getting so big, and our squash and zucchini plants are starting to sprout! (oh yes, we planted a few more things a little over a week ago) Unfortunately the green onions and herbs were trampled upon by little 2 yr old and 4 yr old feet, and I don't think they are going to make it. Boo. I just realized I don't have any pics of our newest sprouts but you can just try to picture them in your head cause I'm doing this post anyways. So here's an updated pic of our peas as well as some of us planting the other stuff as well! 

P.S. I do help out, I just stop occasionally to document life for posterity every now and then. I'm not Josh's slave driver, it just looks like that.

 Oh, and we have pretty roses growing on the side of our house! ♥

Watering the grass and little cheeks

The kids decided to play in the sprinkler the other day, but after putting them in their swimsuits i guess it wasn't as much fun. Jo still had a blast though, and the other two warmed up to it after a bit.

You want me to run through what?!

But it's so cold mommy!

Maybe it will be warmer if I run through it holding the side of my swimsuit...

hmmm.... not so bad after all.

Hats

All of our kids love hats, I would guess because Daddy always wears them.  The other day Josh took the kids down the road to family dollar only to discover that it was closing so most of the stuff was on clearance. They found a few hats and they decided to bring them home. William got a black and whit fedora, Josh a tan one, and Jo got a pink and yellow cowgirl hat. They all LOVE them and have worn them every day. So here's a few pics of them enjoying hats.
