Fun Day!

The kids and I had a pretty fun afternoon. After we picked El up we had to run to Target and grab a few things. I thought the boys would nap when we got home, but no such luck! I quickly tried to unload the dishwasher and glanced over and Levi is digging through Elliot's backpack. No prob. Look again and there's a granola bar in his hand. Elliot takes that way. Few minutes later, he is eating her crackers! He opened up her lunch box, found some food, and started eating. He looked so proud. And, in a way, I was proud too because my boys are a little lazy when it comes to feeding themselves. They pretty much have no desire (I probably don't let them try as much as I should. With 2 babies, it's just easier to shovel the food in their mouths for them and be done).

I decided to take the kids out to play while I cleaned the stroller and high chair. I was hosing them off and Elliot wanted to get wet. Since it's over 80 degrees-why not? The boys then decided they wanted to play in the hose too. Ezra has a blast! Levi wasn't too into it. He screamed b/c he was trying to crawl on the concrete driveway. They then got to eat their dinner outside. How great! After this they were wet, covered in food, grass, and dirt so I decided it was time for bath. After bath we went for a walk with our new (yes...another new) stroller. Elliot got to swing at the park and we had a really nice time. OH, and I LOVE the new jogger! Ezzy fell asleep for the night at 4:15. Levi got home and went to bed at 4:45.

Elliot actually wanted to keep going outside. This is a huge step b/c she has been wanting to stay in way too much! It was great. While I made dinner, she even went out back and played by herself. She was digging in the dirt and making a pine needle pie. It was so delicious! ;-) Later, she and I had a picnic on the driveway and enjoyed all the Christmas lights!

YEA for good days!!!
