Seth and Levi like to color and doodle, make books etc. And what do I do with all these little books and pictures? I save them for a while, but then inevitably I throw them away, because I abhor clutter. I'm giving myself a new goal to at least take a picture of what they have created before I throw it away... so far I've taken one picture :) Here's one of Seth's many poetry books that he has entitled "The Owl And The Cat." (He loves the poem, "The Owl and the Pussy Cat.")
I know, blue sand.. cool huh? The only problem is after long hours of practically swimming in their sandbox my kids emerge as smurfs. This particular day I couldn't wipe the sand off of them, and instead of having blue sand all over my house I opted to spray them down with a hose... they didn't like the power washing, and the sand still wouldn't come off so I fill up the pool and hope that it will wash off with a soak. Jeff comes home to one kid naked, one in underwear, and one fully dressed -- all drenched and STILL sandy. Me? I have my hands on my head waiting for Jeff to save me -- or at least get some towels. It was pretty hilarious.
Freedom. The straps of responsibility are finally loosening. Three kids are a lot of work; that's why days like this are wonderful -- Sethy made his bed without the slightest encouragement. It may not look like much to you, but it's a wonderful sight to me... and this is as well:
The same morning Levi dressed himself :) -- I love his twisted shorts.
AND the same morning Raya began mooing when she was playing with "calfie" -- ok that isn't really lightening any work of load, but it sure was cute!
Yesterday was a nice day -- beautiful weather, farmer's market, picnic, swimming, concert. And this little girl is so cute. I didn't want to take my camera so I had to snap a picture of her before we left.
Oh, and she's been doing a lot of this lately:
She took her first step today!
Also, today Seth finished up swimming lessons and will now be moving to the bigger pool. He's doing great. I finally brought my camera to one of the library programs today... it was firefighter's read and the boys dressed up as firefighters (unfortunately they took off their costumes before I could get a picture). The fire captain really likes the boys and was delighted when he saw them in gear. I love our community and how close knit we can become.
