Max and Jack singing worship songs while riding bikes.

Jack and Hailey watcing Barney.

Hailey is pretending her little doll shower thing is a metal detector.

Jack really likes playing with all the Little People stuff now.

Abby loves Jack and is always coming over to lay next to him or play with him.

Hailey likes to sing and make up her own songs and actions to go with them.                                                                    

Hailey had alot to talk about before bed tonight. She just kept going on and on and on about stuff. She had been talking for quite awhile before I even started to video. When I noticed my camera was still next to me from videoing her singing a little while ago, I decided to take a video of her talking since she was talking so much. I thought it was cute, all the stuff she was talking about.

(These first two videos were actually all one video but it wouldn't let me post such a long video. I ended up having to split it into two videos.)                                                                                    

Now she's on to talking about her good hiding spots.

And how to teach your dog to play hide-and-seek.

Jack enjoyed his first parade.

Max really liked the marching bands.

Max wanted Jack to come sit and read books with him on the "couch" he made.

Hailey learned how to draw a star.

Jack trying a pickle.

Hailey hula hooping.

Max didn't like it when the sun hid behind the clouds.

Hailey and Max were playing in this bucket of water, and Max started pretending he was "in a manhole going down to daddy's work". Then Hailey from that, Hailey got the idea to pretend it was a toilet. It sure was funny to watch them get "flushed down the toilet". They sure do have some great imaginations.

Now they are pretending to be a sprinkler.

Jack had fun splashing in the pails we filled with water.

Jack laughing as Hailey pushed him in the swing.

Max was pretending to measure the fish, like they did at the fishing contest.

Max liked when I cut up some pieces of paper and made some tickets to put in the pocket of his police uniform.

Giving me a "ticket".

Dancing to Hawaiian music.

She loves how the skirt flaps out when she spins.

Watching the storm.



We watched Curious George and Sid the Science Kid this morning. After that was over, I gave the kids some dress up stuff that I found at a garage sale a few weeks ago. It had a bunch of Hawaiian stuff so I knew Hailey would love it. She was so excited when she saw the grass skirt. She wore it the rest of the day, only changing back into clothes to go play outside for a little bit. Hailey asked me to get bread out for her cause she couldn't reach it. After I got it for her, she told me to go away and not look. Then she got out the peanut butter and jelly and made sandwiches for lunch. It was sweet how she wanted to surprise me. She had it all ready on the table when she called me to come look. After lunch we went outside for a little bit. I pushed the kids on the swings. Hailey found a little stick and used it to measure things. (Curious George was about measuring things today. She liked the part afterwards where the kids measured things with their shoes. They showed how you can take two different size shoes and measure stuff and that it will take less of the bigger one.) We came in when we heard thunder. Hailey brought her stick in the house to measure some things. She asked me how many sticks I thought the tile on the floor was. After measuring it with her stick and then telling me, she broke the stick and asked me "Now how many sticks do you think it is?" The kids liked watching the storm out the window of the front door. Even Jack was sitting there watching it with them. We watched a little bit of Funny Videos before getting ready for bed tonight.


Some videos from yesterday:
The kids we pretending to give each other presents (toys and books wrapped in blankets).


I accidently bumped the button on my camera with made it stop recording(that's why the first video is so short), but I quickly pushed the button again so these next two videos should actually be one. Really there was only like a half a second between these next two videos.

Max and Jacob were playing so cute together. They'd play Ring Around the Rosie and then they'd walk around holding hands.



They also had fun running around, chasing each other.

This is what Abby does after the kids have a bath or shower. She thinks it's her turn and will beg until she gets one too.

Then she gets very playful after her bath.

Jack fell asleep while swinging.

Jack started making car sounds while pushing the little cars along the floor.

Max sure loves playing with moon sand.

I was a little worried at first when she did this, but then I realized that she was just behind him with her legs around him, not on top of him. It just looked like that from where I was standing.



Hailey showed Jack how to push off with his feet to swing on his belly, and he was copying her.


Hailey started swinging with Jack on her lap and said "Don't worry. I won't fall with him cause I'm being careful. I just put my arms around the swing like this and hold him."

Max loves his bike helmet that's "just like Papa's".

Hailley wanted to practice riding her bike again. Daddy let go and she did pretty good riding a little ways on her own.

Hailey tried riding her bike without traing wheels again today. This time she tried it with her old smaller bike. She did really good, and daddy even let go for few seconds!
