Songs of the Sandbox

Because our swing set takes "two moderately skilled men 20-24 hours to complete," only the sandbox area is ready to play. I went out to check on Maisie and she was singing, I hope you can recognize the number of her Article of Faith.

Swimming

We spent Saturday swimming in the Julian's pool. Austin even enjoyed in the wholesome recreational activity. (Although there are no pictures of Maisie, she did get wet -- just not her head.)

Pixies

 
I heard music again coming from the piano, so I decided to check out the situation. Meg had dressed both herself and Maisie up. Their "dancing" consisted of jumping off the piano bench and twirling once they made it to the ground. Do pixies sound like a heard of elephants? I just wondered.

Prodigies

Quite often the children dance to the music of the keyboard. Nicholas loves to pound on the keys and we are convinced that is our next prodigy.

Garden Party

Here are my happy helpers and my garden.

Bench Dog

 
Austin finally finished his router table on Saturday evening. He is quite proud of himself, and he should be. His next project is building a bookcase for the girls' room.

Singing in the Rain

 
This evening Meg convinced Andy that singing in the rain is delighful game. They sure had fun.

Soocer in McPherson

Austin and I were on a coed soccer team. We played seven games while the children played on the playground equipment. I have never played team sports (except for that time in high school p.e. when I won that infamous award....), but I liked it. I really did. After one particular game Austin gave me the greatest compliment when he said, "You were an asset on the field tonight. Really. You played well."
