So, Zach said he was fine with his new blue scooter last night. . . today after school he was sitting on the floor with his scooter next to him and he said "I really wish my scooter was red." I felt awful because I really thought the one we bought last night was red. He agreed that we should go back to the store and see if they had a red one..and if they didn't he said he'd be fine with the blue one (but he was really hoping for a red one!).
Well, guess what?
They had one! (and you can bet we opened the box to make sure before leaving the store!)
The excitement on his face when I told him it was red was priceless.
(Though he wasn't exactly thrilled with me when I made him eat his lunch before putting it together.)
He rode it the entire way to school to pick Jacob up.
(Daniel met us at the school and the boys both jumped in the truck with him.)
scooting in the driveway.
Don't you swing with a helmet on?
Daniel pointed out a cicada exoskeleton to the boys. Then I got to teach them about how bugs don't have bones like people but a harder shell called an exoskeleton to protect them--unless a little boy steps on them. Then they go scrunch.
Jacob asked to take a few pictures...
Daniel was working on clearing out the area at the front corner of our yard that was covered in poison ivy up until recently. My dad started tackling the poison ivy 3 months ago with roundup. All of the poison ivy at the bottom was wilting away but the top still seemed to be thriving (the tree, not so much) so Daniel tackled the vines growing up the tree. I wish I would've taken a picture of the tree trunk; it was covered in big, thick, furry looking vines--thats how old the poison ivy was. That took care of all of the poison ivy at the top of the tree! I didn't take an after picture from tonight but he got the rest of the vines near the bottom of the tree ripped off, stripped the little holly bush (that is being removed) and cleared out the area on the road where there's a drain that was covered in dirt, leaves, and whatever else landed there. Daniel suggested we plant some bulbs after he gets it all cleaned up!
Now it was Zach's turn with the camera. Emily's in her favorite place and has really started to enjoy the ergo baby carrier. She slept in it all the way to get Zach and then fell asleep in it as we were walking to get Jacob. (not only did she fall asleep in it, she slept in it for 1.5 hours..then I woke her up to feed her since we were going to our neighbors for dinner!)
This time Jacob said "Daddy, say "ARRGH!!!"
Pretty sure this was a team effort. Zach gave me the dandelion and told me to make a wish while Jacob took the picture. Daniel can thank me later for spreading dandelion seeds all over the yard!
We headed over to the Rubinstein's house for our monthly dinner get together with them and the Longeways. I took my camera and took all of 2 pictures--both of Abby. This is my favorite of the 2...
She said Emily was making silly faces at her so I told her to make silly faces back. Her mom and dad agreed that this picture was her in a nutshell!
