Slightly Modest

It's hot here. Very hot. Waaay to hot to live in a hundred year old house without Air Conditioning. So to get through these next two days of heat wave I bought a little plastic pool for the kids to splash around in. As soon as breakfast was over this morning the girls were in their suits and out the door.

Obie wanted to go too and brought me his swim trunks, but he must be feeling a little bit self conscious around his mama because when I stripped off his diaper he shouted, "No Nake!!" and grabbed the closest thing to him to cover up with.

Who would have guessed that a little pink Polly Pocket princess dress would fit right over a toddler winky??

Monday Movies!

Here's a little movie I took at Maggie's soccer game this past Saturday. I used our regular camera, but it came out alright. Maggie is number 1. She did a lot of falling down during the game. Mostly she stopped the ball by sliding into it. This week at home we're going to work on running and stopping before she falls down. The kid has hustle, though, that's for sure!

Hailey is number 6, and Avery is number 4. The other kids on her team are Mackenzie, number 2 and Maggie's friend as well as the coach's daughter, Sam is number 5, and Caleb is number 3. The team we played this week was pretty equal in skills to our team. Last week Maggie made a break away goal! (The team they were playing wasn't very good.) The week before that the team they played was very good - with a couple of very big boys who seemed to have been born playing soccer. So this last game was fun because neither team was being beaten to a pulp. Maggie has two more games and I'll bring the video camera next week to try and get a better movie.

Enjoy!

MN Children's Museum

We took a trip up to the Twin Cities last Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day and Rob's Birthday. In between what Rob wanted to do and what I wanted to do, we squeezed in something for the kids: The Minnesota Children's Museum.

Look! A Mouse!!
