(Cold) Water Sprinkler

Last week we hooked up the sprinkler for the girls to play in. At first, the girls weren't sure about it. The water was really cold and they would just shiver while standing in the water. Leightyn and Mylea didn't really like running through it, but did like running through the water while on my or Jo's back. Macy was happy just standing in the water letting it run down her face. The video shows Leightyn and Mylea's reaction to the water just being turned on.

I love this picture that Leightyn took of herself.

Weekend Fun

This past Saturday we had a water play night with Chad, Ashley, Logan, and Laney. The girls had looked forward to this most of last week. It didn't rain all day and as soon as it was time to head to their house, the rain had come. We had planned on letting the kids play in the water, but the rain turned out to be more fun. All of them had fun playing in the mud and then running to the sprinkler to wash off. This game went on and on and on. Leightyn and Mylea love to play with Logan and Laney! After eating a great Mexican dinner, the kids had fun playing inside before it was time for us to leave.

Thanks guys for inviting us over. We had fun and so did the girls!

AWANAs Awards Ceremony

Sunday night we had our Awanas award ceremony. Leightyn was excited about getting her trophy for the derby races last Wednesday night. Her Cubbie class was adorable during the ceremony. The recited their three key verses: "All have sinned", "God loves us", and "God loved us and sent His Son", along with their Cubbies motto: "Jesus Loves ME!". Before getting their awards, the group sang their theme song. Leightyn got an award for finishing her first book and a participation certificate. It has been a great year in AWANAs. Leightyn is ready to work on her second book.

AWANAs Race Car Derby

Wednesday night was the last night of AWANAs. We held the race car derby for each class. The kids designed their own cars and then raced them on a track to determine winners for each group. Leightyn's car came in 1st place in her group. She will be getting a trophy Sunday night during the awards ceremony.

Fun (Dry and Somewhat Sunny) Day at Creekmore Park

Tuesday, after storytime, the girls and I headed to Creekmore Park. We had a picnic lunch, played on the different playgrounds, and rode the train twice. Leightyn had been to this park last year and loved it. This was Mylea and Macy's first time there. When we went to ride the train, the babies were not sure about it but loved it once we got going. The second time on the train, it began to pour. I assumed the driver would cut the trip short, but no, he pulled out his umbrella and kept on chugging. So anyways, we were soaked but we all had a great time playing.
