Squeezing in Fun

I'm sure the kids are actually having a lot of fun this summer. Days on end at mom mom's and with cousins while I was painting is nothing for them to sneeze out. But if you know me you know I don't like to be left out and I want to see their fun!  SO....

I finally let Van play on the computer. Jesse was playing Barney at 2 1/2. Van is 4.  At this time our home computer set up isn't really ideal to be sharing with the kids.  But while we were house sitting I was able to bring my (new) laptop and let him go on Starfall.  Fun for me to watch him develop the coordination skills and increase his knowledge of the alphabet.

Slip n slide, picnics with juice boxes! Fun for me to see them get excited about the simple things.

Fun for me to see their creativity.  Simply sliding on their bellies was not enough. They invented different ways to risk bone fracture on the plastic death.  There is the dance, the Airplane, the Twist, and my favorite one to gasp at...the Save Beck.  This came from Beck standing in the middle of it when they wanted to go.  They decided to just go for it and grab or "save" him on their way.
