Today's weather has been great here in Leander so we decided to venture out and play this morning! We went on a nature hike across the street from us in the empty field and walked along where the pond is by our house. The kids had fun throwing rocks and just exploring. Here are a few pictures from today-
The kids were given a jelly bean this morning and while they were eating it I decided to snap a few pictures (ok, it was sorta a bribe to make them smile, I admit). You can see Christopher enjoying his jelly bean thoroughly with all the drool down his chin (yes, he had a yellow one). And yes I know he's only 10 months and had a jelly bean...once again, he's a third child:) (And he does have a rash all over his arms/legs from an allergic reaction (we think) to some meds he's taking, although the doctor thinks it's from part of the bronchiolitus infection he had.)
Christopher's new thing we've had fun watching him do is "SO BIG"! Whenever we say those words, he raises his hands in the air wherever he is. It's quite cute and fun to just be outside and say "So Big!" and have him show us JUST how big he is. :)
While we were eating lunch today, I kept repeating myself telling the kids (mainly Matthew) that if they wanted to go to the pool, they had to eat ALL their lunch. While I was making my sandwich, I looked up to make sure they were eating. I looked up to see Matthew's lunch turned into a sandwich-pretzel-banana airplane with sound effects...he was making zooming noises like he was flying his airplane. I just started laughing and couldn't help it. Kids are so creative!! I looked over at Katherine to see if she had instigated it but she hadn't! He had done it all on his own. I guess he must not have been really hungry or he would have eaten his lunch. After 30 minutes, he finally did eat all of his lunch, also after figuring out that if he put a pretzel stick down his straw and sucked the juice, the pretzel would come up with it! The kids thought that was so funny. Where do they come up with all this!? I must say my kids have the best table manners. Hmmm...Well, now we're off to the pool, since it's 90 degrees here! Whew!
