Sunday and Uncle Dan

Sunday afternoons are fun because Uncle Dan usually comes and hangs out. The kids adore him. This is just a sampling of the fun things they get to do with Dan. The kids hung on to the toy dog's two back legs and tail and they slid around on the floor. They had a ball... and the floors looked great when they were done. bonus.

Bike day

Usually the bikes are kept downstairs in the unfinished basement, but every Thursday we have bike day so the kids can bring them upstairs. The kids love it. Oliver asks seriously every day if it is bike day. I love it too because it keeps them crazy busy for a lot of the day and I only have to maneuver around bikes for one day instead of seven. Yeah for bike day. (Ava is not supposed to wear shoes in the house, but she will sneak them on when ever she can get the chance, she adores her "butterfly boots")

Another reason I love mornings!

I don't know what it is about little kids eating cereal, but I just think it is so cute!

This is serious stuff

I thought I would share some photos of jackson's diving night. The night kicks off with Jackson helping get the babies bathed and ready for bed. All the kids then come in to mom's and dad's bathroom to start filling up the tub. It takes a bit of time so there is a lot of running around and laughing and yelling (because they love how loud they sound in the bathroom). It's then bedtime for Oliver and Ava and show time for Jackson. He dives for about and hour and a half with the majority of the time under the water. He is getting quite good. He only pops up every once and a while to say something to dad and then it is back to business. He is either catching sea animals or taking their pictures just like the divers do in the documentaries that he loves. He wraps up the night with a later night snack with dad, his choice (which always ends up being a treat cereal). He so looks forward to Wednesday nights.
