The Happy House










MW had a friend over to play for the afternoon...what fun was had! They spent the first hour in the backyard collecting roly polys...then off to pick up little brother from MDO...and on to Lowes...where we got a lot of strange looks and laughs and comments to the effect of: "I bet y'all never have a quiet moment!" One person said, "Three girls (we didn't correct them...)!!! I just hope this one's a boy!" It was like the appearance of three with a fourth on the way unleashed SOOoooo many comments! In passing, we didn't take time to explain that one was a friend...kind of funny. Or, er... scary?

We got home and put little man in his room for his "rest-time." After a short period he was crying pretty good. T went up to check on him and learned he was having trouble getting the bed turned down. Little man wanted to nap!

The girls put on bathing suits and spent the rest of the afternoon in the backyard building a "happy house" and a fort for all the roly polys they collected...they also made orange soup...and talked T into dragging both slides into the pool and got him to set up the sprinkler...it was a BIG time!!! (And they didn't touch their lunches until after 2:30...too much fun to stop and eat!)

Here's to hoping they'll all sleep well tonight!

  5. Hey! I am just catching up with your blog. A few random thoughts: I LOVE the pictures of MW, she is beautiful!! I also love the pic of grandmother. It's a great picture and it seems to show her personality. The swing, I am so jealous! It's gorgeous!! I can't believe T3 is not taking naps anymore, I dread that day. We decided to keep Max in his crib as long as humanly possible. We miss you guys so much. Leslie
