Today I spent the day taking the youngest two to the library for storytime, which we barely missed! Then out to the park, a park we rarely have time for, but it is so fun for them! It has 4 areas all around in a huge circle, one has an old steam engine to climb on, another 'dinosaur bones' to climb inside and onto, a toddler playset, then an old school big kid playset, not to mention the few covered, and uncovered areas to have a party or picnic, and a few hills and trails to run down! It's great! So, they kept busy for an hour. It was a nice crisp, slightly windy but sunny day! It was just beautiful!
CRAZY: Tonight coincided Drew's soccer practice at 5:30-6:30, and Grace had a volleyball game across town to be at by 6:15. So...I dropped off Drew, stayed a few minutes to talk with another Mom, and then ran Grace to her game, dropped her off so I could go back to pick Drew up from practice, which ran over by about 20 minutes, and then drove back across town to WATCH Grace's 3 games that started at 6:30 (I obviously had to miss some of it!) and didn't get over till 9pm...whew! LONG DAY! TIRED KIDDOS!
A NEW DISCOVERY FOR BEAU: Beau is really taking after Daddy, in that he has become extremely interested in knowing from Dad all there is about hunting, fishing, etc. They talk hunting. He wants to know everything! Well, I told DH to show the boy his goose/duck calls, and well...long story short...the boy can almost make them sound off better than Daddy now! He is addicted...he has begged nonstop for me to get them out again! That boy is for sure A BOY.
GIRLY GIRL: Leah has definitely taken on a personality all her own. I felt with her, as a baby, I had a hard time finding who she was while also caring for my son, still a baby, and two older girls at that time. She has broke the mold, in that she is quite the opinionated little thing. She will outright refused to get dressed in clothes, or in pajamas, unless she picks it out, and even then, it's often a struggle. Even, picking the right diaper! Drives me nuts! She loves to play 'pretties' when Grace paints her toe nails, and puts 'lips' on her. She's like a little princess, in her own little kingdom of all those that cater to her every whim...NOT. But, you gotta admit, it's funny how a boy takes on the manly character, as Beau, and yet as much as they are around eachother day in and day out, Leah is quite the opposite...such a little girly girl! Point proven in this photo of her playing the girls' old game PRETTY PRETTY PRINCESS, purple painted toenails, scraggly early morning hair, and all!
