Lest anyone question our loyalties

Caroline and I (ok mostly me) were bummed that we didn't get the
Steeler's game yesterday. But we made the best of it anyway. Caroline
was particularly pleased with herself when she realized that, although
our chair is too high to climb into with the cushions, it is just
right if she pulls the seat cushion out. So, I was happythe Steelers
won. She was happy to get in a chair. Generally the whole house was
happy. ;)

Vehicle bonding

We took advantage of the absolutely beautiful weather today and went
to the park for a long time. Jack and Caroline dis some "engine" work
on a push toy. Under Caroline's careful guidance, Jack learned how to
fill the front of the car with bark (a skill Caroline mastered earlier
today). Too much!

Horsey!

This past Saturday my friend Amanda and I took our girls to Oxen Hill
farm, about 15 minutes from our houses. It isn't anything fancy-a
working well kept 19th century farm with (thankfully) no tourist
gimmicks. They got to gave a goat sniff their hands, cluck at the
chickens, neigh at the horses and moo at the cows. There was plenty of
open space so they ran around until they just couldn't walk any more.
(Caroline went from running one minute to sitting down crying and
begging to be carried the next. Poor thing). They were enthralled by
the chain locking the horses in (it made fun clanging noises). They
also tried to climb the chicken coop's wiring. They git ridiculously
hot, sweaty and dirty. All in all a successful and fun outing!

Now this is fun

Today is festival day at Caroline's day care. They have a moon bounce
and lots of water to play in. The kids all got lais and sunglasses
too. As you can see Caroline isn't having any fun.

Mmmm Yogurt

I'm not sure how much of this actually made it into her tummy, but she
sure did have fun eating it.

You might remember....

A few weeks back we had a pretty bad storm hit our neighborhood. It
sent trees crashing into cars and homes. Well the storm pulled the
seat covers off of our lawn equipment. We immedietly found 2, a
neighbor found one in the street but we could never find the fourth
until a fee days ago.

Well Julie, Caroline and I were on a walk in our neighborhood and
glanced up in a tree about 75 yards from our house and found the 4th
cover lodged in a tree. Wow

I feel like dressing myself should be easier

Maybe if she wasn't already dressed it would go better.
