Backyard Fun

All the kids LOVE to be outside.  It has been a really mild summer with the temps in the low 80's most days.  I don't know what we are going to do when the weather get cold!

Mary is such a bug girl.  She is always picking up ants and carrying them around. She says, "I love him. He is my best friend" whenever she is holding one :)  Alex loves to run around like a maniac.  He is always asking me to come run with him.  No wonder he is so skinny. He is also always on the lookout for "spider ribbons" (spiderwebs).  And Lucy is content to roll around on the blanket I put out (and eat grass if I am not watching her!).

My dad built the kids a sandbox earlier in June.  It has been a hit!
