Play Day!

Our city had a Play Day where there were several activities to do for free throughout the day. We started off at Lowes making fire trucks.

Then we went to the climbing wall and everyone, except Mom, took a turn (or two) climbing the wall.

Luke especially loved it and made it to the top! Casey loved it too and probably had as much fun swinging on the rope as he did climbing the wall! LOL! (Luke says he liked it MORE.) =)We then had lunch and went back to go swimming. All in all, a very fun Play Day! It helps, of course, that we have such fun as a family whatever we're doing. =) I love my kids! AND my fun husband! Would it be as fun without him? I think not! ;)

Cub Scouts

Luke had his last pack meeting as a bear. So, to finish off his Leave No Trace requirements, he had to display his poster about the Leave No Trace guidelines. He did a good job making it and it was funny! Next month he'll get his award.

One of the activities was to make a pyramid. It was funny to watch them try. Maia had no idea how it worked and basically just hung on for dear life. And notice that Katie Belle's hands are on the HEADS of the two beneath her? =) At least the girls enjoy going to pack meetings, too!

Ahhh...Katie Belle...

Katie Belle and Sadie used to share a bike but now Sadie doesn't need training wheels so it's left Katie Belle without a bike at all. So we took her bike shopping. The bike she REALLY wanted was a tie-dyed bike (Marlene, are you proud?) but it was way too big for her! So I looked for a hippie-looking bike her size and found this one. She loved it, too. She loves color! Here she is trying it out at the store.

Then this weekend the girls wanted to ride bikes so I got her bike put together and WAALAAH! Happy Katie Belle!

"Look, MOM! No hands!" No, really. =)

Why the devilish look you ask? She was trying to run into me! Little stinker! =)

All in all it was a success!

Fun at Lowes

We've finally started going to the Lowe's Build and Grow days where the kids can build different things for FREE! Here you have to be signed up and it took awhile to know when to do that before all the spots were taken and with FOUR kids to sign up, well, you have be on top of it. So we've been going a few times but this time the kids really enjoyed making the lockers because of all the stickers they could put on to customize them.

Katie Belle put on EVERY sticker she had! Luke made fun of his friend Parker who has a crush on Patricia. If he ever sees it, I'm sure Parker will make it worthwhile! =)
