A Few Low-Key Weeks

We've had a fun, but pretty low-key last week or so. It has rained a lot (which is great, we really need it, it has been such a dry summer) so that has kept us indoors most of the time. Because we weren't up to much "special" I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a few of the kids just hanging around.

Beads are still a huge hit with Jack.

Jack has really started to run like a big kid over the last week or so. Now he loves playing chase around our house and will do just about anything to entice you into the game with him.

Ellie and her beautiful jewels.

It stopped raining! We went outside immediately to burn off a little energy.

Look at the intense expression on her face. Hilarious!

Loading the garden tools into the back of her trike (the other girl is Izzy, our next door neighbor).

Looking at the flowers.

If Ellie does it, then Jack must do it also.

Parallel play. At least I'm not having to entertain them! One of the first times EVER that this has happened!
