Summer Fun and Birthday Party

The kids received a new outside picnic table this week. I've been wanting to get the kids a table for the deck so they could play outside while I'm cooking dinner (yes, I do cook dinner!). They have enjoyed having picnic lunches, snack and dinner on the deck as well as doing some special art projects. Jack loves to paint and color so what a better place to make a mess than outside! He made a picture of a volcano erupting. We are going to make a volcano with Dad's help in the next couple of weeks. Caroline also loves to color. . . especially with markers.

Jack was invited to one of his classmates 4th Birthday party. Mitchell had a bug party complete with a bug dig. The kids were able to dig in the dirt, play in the kiddie pool, slip and slide and take a swing at the pinata. To finish off the party, the kids at some delicious dirt cake. Jack had a great time and was glad to see his school friends.
