I just amazes me how much time goes by before I get a chance to get on the computer. With the weather so nice the kids and I have spent almost everyday all day outside playing. This last week we went to an away soccer game and they won. It was a really good game, then we went out to eat it was great family fun! On Saturday J had training for the new patrol unit so the kids and I did some fun things. We played with the neighborhood kids and took a walk to the Library (I got burnt) and checked out some books and did the craft. When J got home we grilled then went to Home Depot and got some stuff for J's new project of making a DVD holder for the van. We got GG some seeds to plant as her summer project in the yard. She picked out the princess mix, of course! She was super excited about planting them that after church on Sunday she went right to her room and changed out of her dress, I told her she needed to wear shorts and a shirt when planting. She looked so cute with her gardener gloves on, they have little worms on them! At Home Depot we also looked at the landscaping things like the retaining walls and bushes. We have a couple of things we would like to get done this summer with the lawn. The whole yard needs help so we are taking it one step at a time. In time it will be how we want it...about the time we want to move! Today we played at the park during soccer practice and the other kids at the preschool came out so that Monkey and GG had friends to play with.

There have been some things that Monkey has done lately that I have wanted to write about...whenever we see a school bus now he says, "A school bus crashed into daddy." J got in an accident involving a school bus. When he wants to know what the "plan" is he holds up one finger at a time and lists what he thinks needs to be done. He got this from me because I give them a list of things that are going to happen (eat dinner, take bath, read books and then bed) and I count them on my fingers so now he does it! The other day when he was eating mac and cheese he took the noodles and placed them on the fork through the whole and called them candles!!! Today his teacher told me that they were getting ready for snack and he was reading a book and she told me he had to put the book away if he wanted snack. He then dropped it on the floor and she looked at him and said "Monkey" in a very motherly way, he looked up at her and said, "I'm just kidding" picked the book up and put it away. He is such a ham! And he is just like his father :) J taught him to say "Welcome to the jungle, we have fun and games!"

Well that is the gist of what has been going on around here! We are starting to get more things ready for our new arrival. If you have tried calling us and didn't get a hold of us we were probably outside and didn't hear the phone!!! We love being outside...
