Max said "Lay Jack down by me. Can you Mommy? Because he want to play cars with me." When I layed Jack on the blanket, Max put the motorcycle by him and said "You want to play with dis Jack? You do?"

Inside their tent.

This morning, Bruce got up with the kids and let me sleep in. When I woke up, he had them all dressed and ready to go on a bike ride. He hooked up the bike trailer and decided to take them for a bike ride to the park. I got all caught up on laundry while they were gone. I also enjoyed sitting on the couch holding Jack and talking to him. He gave me a bunch of big smiles. He is just starting to try to make some cooing noises. He moves his mouth like he wants to talk, and every once in awhile, a little sound will come out. It sounds so sweet. When daddy and the kids got back, Max came in with a bag and handed it to me. They had stopped at the "cookie store" and brought me back a brownie. On their way to the park, they also rode past Hailey's school and showed her the new playground that they are building. She is really getting excited about going now. I took the kids outside to play for a little while after we ate lunch. They quickly headed for the pool to stick their feet in. Hailey slipped and fell and got her clothes all wet. So I told them to go ahead and get their clothes wet even though we were about to leave to go to a few stores. Since I had just told them not to get their clothes wet, when Max heard me say he could, he excitedly said "I chen(can)? I chen, mommy?" And they got soaked! Max was even sticking his head under the water. As soon as Bruce was ready to leave, I changed the kids into dry clothes and we got them in the van. When we got back from the stores, I got them in their swimsuits and let them swim some more. It was very humid so I got very hot sitting out on the porch swing. I turned on the hose and sprayed my head. Max and Hailey thought that was funny and laughed at me. Around 4:00, I put Max down for a late nap. He was very tired and fell asleep very quickly. Hailey and I played dollhouse while both boys slept. I had to wake Max up at 6:00 so he could eat dinner with us. He didn't want to wake up at first. I asked him if he wanted to come out and watch the lightning, and he hurried and came out to look out the window with Hailey. It stormed the rest of the evening. The kids made a tent out of blankets. They asked if Jack could come in the tent with them, so I layed him on the boppy in the tent for a few minutes and they loved it. Then Max asked me to come in too. I squeezed in by him and he said "Do you fit?... You do?" They played in their tent until it was time to get ready for bed.
