Summer!

We had more outside fun today. It was such a beautiful day, not too hot and not even too sunny (for a west facing backyard that is a good thing). It's really been a wonderful and somewhat mild summer in the Midwest - yay!

We got out the bounce house this morning that we bought on some super deal spend inducing crazy sale before the holidays. The boys loved it, especially Oliver and Ethan. Unfortunately, Collin got out before I got the camera.

Sporting their new haircuts and matching Superman shirts (which I wanted to get a photo of all three but didn't get it done before they went out and then the shirts were history so to speak).

Collin loved the sand and water table, which has been a huge hit for everyone for years.

Oliver also loved the sandbox.

After lunch, we had some of the neighborhood kids join us for a bounce house and water day (pool and sprinkler). Unfortunately it was too hectic at first to get the camera and then I forgot about it later. There were a lot of good photos to be had though. They all had a lot of fun. And best of all, for us, the twins completely passed out by 7:15 pm and Ethan by 8:15 pm. Happy and tired kids = good summer day.

By the way, poor little Ethan was walking like an old man this morning. Between the 1k run, all the bouncing and climbing yesterday and play time with friends yesterday afternoon/evening... his little legs were so sore. He was making us carry him and walking so slow and funny. It didn't take too long for him to get them back into working order though. (I REALLY need to get better about getting the video camera out - that would have made for some funny memories, not to mention funny footage.)
