Operation Room Share

We are commencing with operation William and Madelyn room sharing. Wish us luck! 

They are excited about the concept,  hopefully that means they will actually sleep tonight!

Start of combining there rooms, hopefully tomorrow we can finish moving everything over and get a few finished pictures.

All tucked in!

Hair cut

Will wanted a hair cut like cousin Josh!

Planting the Garden

Planting a garden with a 2 and 4 year old is much like broadcasting your garden.  You make rows and attempt to get some seeds in them.  I guess we will gauge our success in about a week when things start coming up.

This year the kids picked corn, peas, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins and potatoes to plants.  I added a zucchini plant and beets.

Showing kids where seeds should go....

Planting cucs.

Will carefully planting, he tried very hard to space seeds as I showed him.  He actually did a great job keeping the seeds in the rows.

Getting pumpkins out of trays.  Honestly if the pumpkins survived planting they have to produce something!

Madelyn dumping out a pumpkin plant, and yes, she is planting garden in a dress, why not? And yes she is wearing sock because dirt kept getting in her sandals and hurt her feet, it was much better with just socks on.  Note to self: Oxi clean socks!

What a Big Brother Teaches You!

Madelyn proceeded to climb the slide several times on her own after this, without Will's help!

Difference?

Can you spot the difference in these pictures?

Soccer

Will started soccer tonight, he was so excited! He literally ran the whole way to the soccer field and then played hard and ran all the way home (6 blocks or so).

At the beginning he was a bit shy but as the game progressed it he was right in there! The goals of soccer in the 3 and up group are to: not use hands (Will is good on that), keep the ball on the field ( gets concept, but not in practice), kick the ball in correct direction towards the correct goal (get that), have fun (definitely got that one).  I have to say that with the age group, Will is one of the oldest, you could really pick out the difference in ages, it really is amazing how much difference a year makes at this age.  But I guess a year is 25% of there life!

Hopefully soccer continues to be this much fun!

Madelyn's Baby Update

Madelyn continues to have two babies in her tummy, I wonder if this is an indication of her future?

One is a baby girl (she can be found on the left side of her tummy), name was "Kitten" for a while but has become "Mommy", Madelyn will hold the baby girl! Baby two is a boy (he is on the right), name is usually "Dinosaur" and occasionally "Daddy", I will hold her baby boy.

Sandbox

Who does not love a sandbox?!



Cutie! Loving her sunglasses!

Being a goof!
