Visiting Candyland

After work and dinner we have been spending quality time outside with the kids. Bear loves to pull his little sister around like the Queen of Sheba in their wagon. And Sophia thinks it is pretty cool too!

It has been a long time since Mark and I have played Candyland. Like when Eric was four! So, we had to pop the directions out of the box to remember how to get started. We have only played twice (and Sophia has won both times!)

Soph is still a little confused about what exactly is candy in this game and what is not...









Dan is a little confused about what it means to stick with your choices...







Dan and Sophia have the best time when Eric is around!

Here are Pop and Soph and Eric. Daniel was not a willing participant in this photo shoot as you can tell.

We took the kids to the children's museum. Here are Dan and Daddy and Pooh Bear (cheesy knock-off costume!)

And Daniel driving Mommy and Fi around the museum:



Soph is in the big girl bathtub now! She loves it when the duck quacks and likes to splash in the water.



I took three days of "vacation" this week to do things around the house that needed to be done with no kids around. The garage was first on the list and it was cleaned and sorted out. The next day Mark took some time too and we tore up the front flowerbeds, put landscaping fabric down and laid fresh mulch. The last day Mark and I built the new swingset together.



The kids (and us) have loved the swingset! We've been on it every morning this weekend and every night before and after dinner.



Pics of the garage and front yard the next time around!
