Fun in the Sun

Today is our 12th wedding anniversary and we spent the entire day at home with the kids. It was a very nice family day. We spent a good bit of the time outside playing in Lenny's pool. We had to get a new one this year because the one from last year got a hole in it. Lenny was so happy to finally get to play in his pool this summer. He was in it for a very long time today.


After Brooke and Nathan woke up from their naps, they came out to play too. It's funny how deceiving the pictures are on the box for the pools. This pool that Dominic bought for them looked like several toddlers could get in it with space left over. That certainly is not the case.

Earlier in the day Brooke and Nathan had some yogurt for a snack. I don't know why I do this to myself but they seem to love it. You can tell that they still aren't real good at using the spoon for yogurt yet.




It was very hot outside yesterday too. We were all planning to go to the County Family Fun Night at the park to play games and watch the Wizard of Oz. Dominic had to work and then came home to cut the grass in the heat. He wasn't really looking forward to getting out in the heat again. So Lenny and I decided to go by ourselves and leave Daddy and the babies at home. We were so excited to go. We headed out a little after 5 p.m. and even stopped to get some bug juice and water for the trip. It was starting to look a little darker which was worrying me a little. We got there and there was so much to do. We first put our blanket on the ground close to the HUGE screen that they had for the movie. Then Lenny wanted to head straight to the moon bounces. There were four of them. Three of them were too big for him but I still let him go in one of them because it had a slide. He loved it and had so much fun jumping around. Then all of a sudden it started thundering and lightning. I wasn't going to take any chances. Lenny was so sad to get out of the moon bounce but he was very good about it. We picked up our blanket, bought some kettle corn and headed home. As we were leaving the parking lot, I looked over and saw that they had turned off the moon bounces anyway. We were both so bummed about it but at least we got out for about 45 minutes.

Earlier in the day the kids were playing in Lenny's play room and having lots of fun. Nathan was crawling through the lego table for this picture.


Brooke cracks me up because she is such a prissy little girl. Really! The boys were having fun running around pushing around trains and cars and playing with the Home Depot work bench. While Brooke decided (on her own) to pick up the safety goggles from the work bench and carry it around like a purse. She was picking up all kinds of things and putting them in it. It was so funny to look over and see what she was doing. You can see the drill bits in the goggles.



She has to wear these pink shoes all the time and prances around in them like she is just the coolest. If they are somewhere that she can see them, she wants to be wearing them. Of course, I had to paint her little toe nails pink too. I love having a girl! But we already know that she is going to be one to test us with everything.

A little later Lenny and Nathan were playing with some cars. Brooke pranced over to the punching bag and started slapping at it very girly like and squealing. The boys were just staring at her wondering what she was doing. Then she was done, turned around, and walked away with a huge smile on her face. It was the funniest thing.

I just realized that I haven't posted a "From the Mouth of a Four Year Old" for a while. I will add one soon. Lenny certainly does say some funny things.
