Well, Tuesday was another fun day with mom. I made it to the gym to work out which was great. After I picked the kids up and left we went to find another park that I have heard about from neighbors. This park was at a lake. The thing that was bad about going to this park was the fact that it took me a little while to find it which then made it to where the kids could not play for very long. They had a blast running around on the equipment and going down the slides. I was able to get some really neat pictures of the kids playing. When we had pulled into the park we saw that there were some families of geese. We decided to take a walk around the pond that was there at the park. The kids and I walked around to where the geese were so that I could get some pictures of the geese with their gosling's. We had fun getting chased by the geese and goslings. I tried my hardest to get the kids to let me stand back and get their picture with the geese chasing them but they wanted to stay close to me. I was able to get a picture of Heidi standing pretty close to the geese and Timothy running away laughing. I finally managed to get the kids back into the van so that we could go home, eat, and then get ready for rest time.
Wednesday, Timothy got a birthday present from his Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristi. They sent him a water table which all the kids have had a blast with. The kids did not care that it really was not warm enough to be getting wet outside that afternoon. So Clint and I set it up for them to play outside. They had so much fun even though they were shivering at times. The table says that it holds up to 4 gallons of water and I think we filled it 4 times that afternoon. Needless to say, thanks to Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristi I don't think that we will have to worry about watering the lawn during the summer. We can just put the kids out with the water table and move the table around the yard so that it all gets watered. Timothy thinks that it is fun to scoop up the water and pour it on the ground. This might be because when Clint went to fill up the table he would spray the kids with the water and they would run and giggle. I put them out with the table yesterday, Thursday, and they had a blast again. Although I did go out and check on them and found that they started bringing water over to the sand box. I asked them who started putting water in the sand box and Heidi said she did. When asked why she did that she told me she wanted the sand to be like it is at the beach. Timothy was covered in sand since he was in the sand box with a wet suit. They then started to take some of the wet sand over to the water table. So they all got a good hose down before coming back inside.
Well, I must go because I do believe that we are about to have a tea party on the girls "big blanket".
