That little monkey showed us a new trick today.
Right up the slide she went.
All the way to the top! I had Paige follow her up then slide her back down. She was so proud of herself.
Paige finally distracted her (cause she kept going back to do it again) by sharing her lemonade ice cubes.
Clearing off the picnic table (that's usually full of buckets and mud piles) and moving it closer to the house.
We set up the volleyball net, and then had to play a few games. The set comes with badminton rackets, so we had to try them out, too. It also came with some plastic horseshoes, so, of course, that also needed to be tested.
We had to test the slide, too, to made sure it was OK.
And Grace made sure all the balls were blown up enough. It was a rough day, we worked hard.
Grace hasn't figured this one out yet.
But she loves to play with it like she does all her other toys, throw it, bang it against the table, and, of course, chew on it.
The boys have picked out their favorites, too. These trucks have kept their attention for three days strait.
She looks like she could just start walking away. But not yet. She's got the standing thing figured out, though. My baby is growing up fast.
Paige absolutely hates the camera pointed in her direction. So this shot cost me a dollar but it was worth it. She loves to spend as many hours as I will allow her out on the swing or picnic table with a good book.
Then miss nosey comes along.
If she makes enough funny faces and oohs and grunts she's bound to be picked up. She wins this game every time.
We started our day by checking out our lilies that the kids have been growing since Easter. Courtney's is in full bloom right now.
Then Courtney and the boys made some blueberry muffins that were very uneven but very delicious!
While the muffins were baking, Paige had made a word search for the boys and Jacob was really excited about it. "I can't finda H in this middle a letters!"
