Going, going, GONE

 Today, every time we would eat, a little girl would complain about her tooth. So, finally after supper-

She got it out.

Summer days

 

This summer has been busy already. It has been HOT. We have been having fun. I bought the kids a little wading pool and they have spent many hours playing in it. The girls also got new swimsuits last week. that was exciting.

 

One Very hot (100*F+) Sunday afternoon we went for a walk at a state park not to far from our home. It was really pretty. We went down quite a long large hill and across a creek. then met a sign explaining that whatever way we went it would be up hill and several miles. We opted to go only a little farther along the creek and then go back.

  

We had to climb the very big hill in the very warm weather. some of our group were afraid they were going to have to just live at the bottom of the hill it seemed to hard to get to the top.

 

We all made it, but as you can see it was exhausting. :)

  Today the kids had a bike wash going on in the garage. I did some spray painting touch ups on a couple of the bikes. It made it seem like they had new bikes. Oh, we aired the tires too. Molly also took the broken hand brake off of hers.

Sleep

So, one of my hobbies this week was taking pictures of my son during nap time. Children amaze me as to how they can sleep anyway anywhere, If they want to.

Quotes

Here are a few good quotes from this past year.

"Mom, this is so tasty!" - Lars

"And they lived funly ever after." - Heidi

"I love you." -Molly
"I love you too." - H
"Do you want to get married?" -M
"I will if you be nice." -H
" I will, I'll even share my lion with you."- M

I'm not sure what they were playing with for that one but I'm pretty sure they were in some sort of character.

Beautiful children

The first one!

Molly had the first tooth come out on Monday! The children were very excited about her loss. I really think she could not be old enough to be losing teeth! I really hope the one that comes in is not much bigger than the one that came out because her mouth is already crowded!

We go...

One blustery day we went out. Molly biked,

Lars rode a trike,

Heidi also rode a bike.
We really felt it was too cold for this late in May, but who can tell the weather what to do? Well, anyway we couldn't change it.

All dressed up

My three happy kiddo's!

Lars

Here is our engineer hard hard at work with his new train set! This is the other toy we bought this month. It has been fun to watch him play with it. He mostly likes us to make the track and then he can drive his train around and around. He does build tracks too and is quite proud of himself whenever he does!

Mornings

This morning was such a average morning I thought I would share. Most mornings Lars wakes up somewhere between 4 and6 and comes and stands by my bed until I wake up enough to ask him if he needs to use the bathroom. He says yes and goes in and does then comes to ask me to, "cover me."
Around 7 to 7:30 Heidi shows up in my room usually fully dressed or needing zipped. She will then go play quietly in her's or Lars' room. Lars will wake up and join her until I am done with my shower and we three go down stairs. They do some more playing or start asking (rather loudly) for chocolate milk.
Molly joins us at some point but she always needs to sit by herself and watch the goings on for awhile before she is awake enough to enjoy our company.:) She almost never gets dressed before breakfast.
(Derek's time of appearance depends on if he is working or not.)
I hope you all are having a loverly morning this morning too!

Monsters in my house!!!!

The other night there were lots of scary monsters running and roaring all over my house!! I was rather glad they were after each other and didn't really notice me!
The three little monsters kept asking the big one to scare them again. Silly things!

Just like Papa

Not too long ago we bought a light weight hammer for Lars. He always likes to help make stuff and now it will be a little easier. :D

Taking care of his baby!

Lars has been enjoying playing with Molly's doll lately.
and I tried to put the video on here of him but it took 3 hours and it still wasn't showing so I quit.

A Little about Molly

Molly has mastered the art of Bow knot tying. Last night she was wanting me to help her tie her apron string for her but then we decided I could coach and she could tie. She was getting it really good last night but then this morning she practiced some more and mastered it!

The other thing you might notice about these pictures, she is holding her purse. She takes her purse with her everywhere. Last night she even took it to bed. And then first thing this morning she shows up with her blanket and her purse. When we went to the grocery store this week she had it along and was able to buy herself some gum.

Playing outside

Lars riding his firetruck. ^
Molly blowing bubbles. she would whistle as she blew her bubbles. :) ^
Happy Heidi riding her trike. She and Lars were having races around the patio. ^
A picture I was trying to take of bubbles. But it is also a picture of the races and my neighborhood. You can see the house across the street out front through my front windows and the houses behind us reflected on my door and window. And, the bubbles I was trying to get. :^)

Info

Something you may not have known;
And I quote; "Lots of birds are girls, And the rest are boys."
As we were walking home from the pool today Heidi imparted her wisdom on us. It really made me smile and feel enlightened.
