Playing with cousins

We visited with my Uncle and his kids while we were there. They have 4 kids too all close in age. Joseph loved having a playmate and new toys to play with. After dinner we all roasted marshmallows in the fireplace and made s'mores.

The older kids had a blast exploring their property. Their house is surrounded by woods. It was freezing cold and even sleeting outside at one point, but the kids had so much fun playing. Here is one picture of them "repelling" down the hill

Playing along the Shadow Wall The Energy Ball... I remember this from when I was a kid.

Thomas loved the giant slide.

There was even a place for little kids

Future Soccer Star

Last week Thomas and a friend of his did a free trial "Happy Feet" class. This class teaches basic soccer skills to little guys in a fun way. Thomas loved kicking the soccer ball around and running, running, running.

Halloween Picutures

The night of Halloween. Addy and Savannah had orange spray paint in their hair, and Addy had her face painted green, with black around her eyes. Here is my witch, my two pirates and my little puppy. This is the boys in the stroller going back and forth between the classroom parties.

Addy laughing during her party.

This costume for Joseph was good for him, since he spent a lot of time chewing on the bone.

Rub and Dub, Dub...4 Kids in a Tub

In an effort to make my evening tolerable... home alone with all 4 kids... I decided that I would get them all down for an early Bedtime. Dinner had been served, now it was bath time. The girls shower, the boys get baths, and occasionally the girls want to join their brothers just for fun. We probably won't be able to do this too much longer so I took a photo of them all having fun. Bath time has always been one thing that I can do when the house gets too loud or the whining gets to be too much.
