Memaw came to watch the kids for a couple days during Spring Break. We sent the kids back to Ms. Robin's house the other days. She is such a great lady and we are so lucky to have her when the kids are off school.
As usual, Memaw showed up with a tub full of goodies for the kids...
New flip flops, books, clothes, coloring books, etc...
Love this pic of Memaw and Mags
The kids caught the ice cream truck out front on Friday afternoon.
Mags has a scary-looking tweety bird ice cream and Colin has sponge bob.
They were in heaven, it's definitely the little things in life that are important...
Then later on Friday afternoon, we headed outside to play.
I made a hopscotch on the driveway and it was a big hit.
It's fun to watch the kids develop better coordination skills, and the neighbors had fun showing off their talents as well.
Maggie tries hard, but pretty much just runs down the hopscotch
Colin has it down great!
Brian got recruited to punt a ball across the street from our driveway to our neighbors, with a bunch of kids waiting to catch it. A few minutes later, there were about 4 more kids joining in the fun, and I'm not even sure who they were. Brian's pretty sure he pulled his groin trying to kick the balls so high. Gotta love it!
Oh, and since it was a bit chilly on Sunday, we decided to do some painting in our hallway. We are going to try to get rid of all the off-white in our house, but we've got some super tall ceilings to contend with. Little by little, we will get our house painted.
It's the same color as our old house, Sauteed Mushroom. Mmmmmm, sounds delicious, huh?
Colin had his turn at painting and actually did a great job.
He's for hire, you know, since milk is almost $4 a gallon now. He needs to start paying his way... :)
Cutest painter I've ever seen!
