Grass stains and Football in our future?

Picnic fun!

Triple bunks!

New Grass!

So it's finally done!!! Ryan still has to change around the pool fence a bit but it's ready enough to play around on a little. I'm really really really excited.

Trampoline!

After the girls bathed, I used the bath water to wash Buster. When I came out of the bathroom Ryan had the girls laughing and having such fun with this game.

If you can't view the video the trick is to comment first and then it will play.

Sleepy Head

This little beauty is my GOOD GOOD sleeper. They all sleep good but If it weren't for her sisters Who knows how long she could go. Delaney usually wakes us early and if she doesn't Cali will. If they both actually sleep in we all get to sleep in, but every now and then Jocelyn will do the Rooster call and then she's tired all day. Well yesterday she woke up early. We all had to get up early because of her and she fell back to sleep during the first 15 min. of Sesame street (we start our morning with a pre recorded Sesame Street)

So she woke me and sisters up early when the other 2 would have slept in and then falls back to sleep only moments later. FYI she slept there for about 2 hours with the whole house hold commotions all around her.

I finally managed to wake her barely after her nap and she was cranky all day. This is a girl (like myself) who needs her sleep.

Grammy sent a package!

I had to dress them in their new clothes. Really I had no choice as you'll see in one of my two videos they were trying so hard to get them on (even though they're mismatched). One thing you can't do is leave clothes lying around with these three. Especially if they're new. Which is why I'll only fold the laundry when they are sleeping. Anyway, with as much as they love clothes we may have to start a fund now for when they're teenagers. Thank you Sandie for their new clothes and prayer animals!

Anything can be fun in a group

These Little Devils

Cali in my boots

Water and Reading. We Have little Browns.

So our hose is leaking and they found the puddle. They seriously love the water.

I cannot do anything without them getting all up in my business but I do dream of the day I can just sit outside while they play nicely and I can read a book without them trying to tare it out of my hands and then fight over it. I decided to test their maturity today, so I sat out with my book and the next thing I knew Jocelyn was sitting in the chair next to mine with a book she got herself giggling at me. When Delaney tried to steal it from Jocelyn I told her to find her own book and get into a chair. She gleefully darted back into the house and out again with a book and took a seat. Cali must have paid close attention because about 30 seconds later. she had her own book and was pulling me out of my chair so that she could have it. I happily gave it up to her, grabbed a new chair and my camera and this is What we did. It didn't last forever but I was able to read for a bit even when they were finished.

In between and Before Pics

We are right around mid project for putting in some grass. The girls need grass because they Love to be outside. So this will be the spot. We still need the sprinklers, curbing, Grass of course and to re-route the pool fence. I think we'll get a few new plants to finish the job as well too. I'm hoping for flowers but Ryan loves plants and trees.

Before pics. I did this backward. Oh well.
