Playing at the Park

We have several parks close by and we decide which to go based on whether or not we are going out to lunch. This park is on the way to our favorite Mexican restaurant: Summer LOVES to swing:

The both love going on this:

Here they are, running around and playing like crazy:

And look how nice they can be to each other (once they learn they get to go out to lunch):

Trouble with a capital T!

I left the kitchen for 2 minutes to talk w/Brian about dinner plans. We noticed it was pretty quiet around the house and then we heard some shaking noises in the kitchen. When I ran in to see what was going on, this is what I found: Summer got into all of my decorating sugars, etc. and was pretty much drinking/eating them from the bottle. Plus, she poured piles of the stuff all throughout the pantry. When we tried to wipe it off the counter - red dye smeared everywhere. It was a HUGE mess to clean up.

All I can say is:

Summer is an imph that moves like speed lightening!! WOW!

What do you want to be when you grow up???

Ben's kindergarten class talked about community service and about people who work in the community. And then the class was given a month to dress up their paper doll to what they wanted to be when they grew up. Ben has talked about being a policeman when he grows up since he was aboug 3 1/2. Not just any policeman....first, it was the policeman on the motorcycle. But then he realized that some police get to fly helicopters so that is his DREAM job.

This is his finished product. I'm not sure who was more proud of the finished project - Me or Ben! Boy, that was a lot of work for a non-crafty person like me!!

Forts and Naps - Feb 2010

We spent a big part of the morning building forts - the kids thought that was fun!! Summer always has to have several of her stuffies around with her:

And Brian joined in when we got to the "nap" part of the day :-)

My Artist II - Feb 2010

Another fun day with the dry erase/chalk board. I'm not sure who did more drawing - me or Ben!
