Playin' in the dark and "stick yoga"

Ok, so I know, I know... I stink at this blog thing.  I only feel like writing something when i have pictures to go with it.  Anyway, after more than a month, here are a few cute pictures of the kids playing out in front of our house...As you can see it's getting pretty dark in this picture, but everyone was happy and getting along so I opted for letting them stay outside 'til we couldn't see anymore (especially poor Avery with her "good eye" patched) and feeding my monkies some frozen nuggets (with a side of veggies)...but see how HAPPY they are?

They all LOVE riding Daddy's longboard, so why not form a train and use this PVC pipe as an oar to push you along!  Owen kept on pulling on the girls and they would all fall off laughing...

Here's my handsome little trouble-maker! Just look at that FACE (and that belly)!

 

NO we haven't enrolled the girls in a pole-dancing class...they were doing "yoga" with these sticks for "exercise".  They were sooo serious about it that I had to laugh in secret behind the book I was reading!

This move is called "stab yourself in the crotch with the stick"--that could REALLY hurt.  Guess if I was any cautious mom, I would've told my GIRLS not to play with those sticks while extending their legs like that.  They were too entertaining though...I love when they come up with these RANDOM activities and Avery totally follows along as if what Madie is instructing her to do is completely legit!
