Life is Good!

Life is good, again! All of the kids are finally feeling well and excited to get back into life and play outside! When Luke wakes up in the morning he can hardly wait to go in the backyard and play. I am a little embarrassed to show this picture because it emphasizes how messy our yard is and how dead our grass is, but the kids seem to love it the same. When Luke was sick, last week, his eyes were really sensitive to the sun and he complained a lot about the sun being too bright, so I finally bought him some sunglasses. He loves them and insists on wearing them whenever he is outside or in the car. Oh, yeah, he still loves to wear his "I love my Uncle Michael" shirt as a jammie shirt at night.

The day started out with a trip to the park, I forgot my camera, so there are no pictures of that, but the kids had fun being in the sun. Blake loved eating the sand. When we got home, he had sand in his nostrils, down his shirt, in his diaper--everywhere! After lunch, Taylor and Luke entertained themselves with other activities.

Taylor drew a beautiful picture of a rainbow over the ocean. Not that you can tell, but you can tell how proud she was!

Luke was just having fun drawing over Taylor's masterpieces. Of course, it made her upset, but that's what was so fun!

What would the day be without an art project. Taylor is the Queen of art projects and Luke is the King of glue! I finally had to take the glue away because he was pouring gigantic drops all over his sheet of paper without gluing anything on top of it!

We also went for a walk to the grocery store to buy something to make for dinner. At one time, I had all three of them in the double stroller together. Blake loves to sit on Taylor's lap! Pushing around 100 lbs. gets very tiring and heavy!

As you can see, Blake is feeling better too! He finished his antibiotics yesterday and Devon and I are praying that he doesn't get another ear infection within the next week. He visits the ENT on Wednesday--yahoo! Also, as you can see, we have balloons still floating around the house from the birthday party! Blake just has the best smile!

I think the kids are worn out from our day! Devon rented Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the old 1980's episodes on DVD, from Netflix. We've been trying to expose Luke to more "boy" shows. Poor guy has to watch so many princess movies that we thought he deserved to get to watch something else. He really likes it, but Taylor loves it! Who would have ever thought our little princess would love to watch karate chops and sword fighting! It is so nice to have everyone feeling better! Now maybe Devon and I can sleep through the night and wake up feeling rested!
