Fun Outside!

Last week we had some fun in the driveway. One day we played with "sidewalk paint". The boys are not very artistic, but they did like squirting the bottles.

We had four colours; red, yellow, green and blue.

You had to shake the bottle before using the paint.

Trying to get the lids off...

If you click on the pictures you can see them bigger and see their expressions.

Having fun!

Once the paint was gone, we sprayed vinegar on it which made it bubble up.

 Later in the week we took to the driveway again. This time with an empty box and paint.

Concentration.

We included Noah this time.

She got some on the box, but mostly on herself!

Friday Phone Photos

A day late and not many pictures....

Hanging out a the VBS musical.

Enjoying Slurpees at the park!

Trying out a new park.

She mostly just wanted to drink the Slurpee.

A fuzzy friend.

Helping move rocks to the backyard.

They worked really hard!

Another pail to fill up!

Norah fell asleep on my lap this week, an hour before her normal nap time. It was strange, but nice!

A craft I did with the boys. There's no finished product because they broke them
5 mins after we made them...grrr.

Wordless Wednesday

Hanging out with Aunt Pamela and Aveet

We had a great visit with Pamela and Aveet when they were here. I didn't take many pictures, but Aveet did and was kind enough to leave them with me! All the pictures in this post were taken by him!

On our way.

Apparently they were enjoying themselves...

Not sue what else happened when they were behind us.

I'm not sure there's ever been a post with so many pictures of me!

Sisters.

Daddy and Logan.

And then we stopped to feed the ducks. Again. There were a lot. Luckily there were lots of adults so I didn't stay down at the water long!

She must have learned this from Grandma Tuumanen!

Learning to whistle with a blade of grass.

Photobomb by Norah!

Cutie.

Pushing Logan on the swing.

He told us he was going to jump off...

He did try. 

Climber.

She's always drinking from someone else's water!

So glad he can pump himself this summer.

She thinks she's too big for the baby swing already.

Her dad taught her...

Poser Logan.

Pretty funny, guys.

Guess you aren't that strong.

:)

Thanks for the memories, Aveet!

Too Many Ducks

As you well know, we like to walk a path near our house where there is a small pond with ducks. We take cracked corn to feed them, because feeding them bread is very unhealthy for them! In the spring, we had a hard time getting the ducks to come to eat the food. I'm sure they came after we left but they rarely swam over.

But ever since the babies were born there have been SO many ducks. It's insane. Some days, we don't even get down to the water, they just come up to the path. The other night, Scott was working late so I took the kids over after supper. Please note that for someone terrified of birds, this is not a good scene! The kids love it though and are not scared in the least (even when the ducks nip their feet!)

They even surrounded us!
