A few days in the life . . .

I thought I'd just post a few pictures of regular days around our place. After looking at the pictures in this post, I guess no day is really regular. They all come with their own surprises! On June 10th we went to a Family Fun Day hosted by some local businesses in support of the soldiers and families at Fort Riley. The girls didn't want to leave!

It seemed like the whole park was a playground! There was something to play on everywhere you looked. The picture in the middle is Sienna being very concerned that Meadow went in a Fire Safety trailer! I didn't get pictures of that, but Meadow said it was really cool. The trailer is set up like a mini home and comes complete with it's own smoke. The fireman excorts the child through the trailer explaining what to do in case there is ever a fire in their home. It even has a "hot door" for the kids to touch to see if it's safe to open!

The first picture of Aria was taken inside. She is really taking notice of the things around her now! The next three are taken on the driveway. It was such a nice day I didn't want the kids to be inside. Meadow didn't want to go outside - she wanted to play a game, so we compromised! Sienna didn't really play, but she got her turns to spin. Aria certainly didn't play, she was too busy snoring away in the sun!

After we were done playing Chutes and Ladders Meadow helped mommy with a little bit of weeding. Sienna "helped" by pulling all the blooms off the flowers! Then Meadow got to hold Aria while mommy and Sienna cleaned up our toys and the weeds before going inside for dinner.

Meadow got a big surprise before bedtime. We opened a package from daddy (mommy usually gets the mail pretty late and Sienna had already fallen asleep). In the package daddy had put a book and a cd. The cd was a video of him reading the book. Meadow LOVED it! She watched it three times and then mommy had to pull her away to go to bed! We can't wait to share it with Sienna tomorrow!
