It's Summer time and the pigs...opps, I mean the kids are out!

Last week Dave and I were watering our newly added grass and trees when the boys decided to have some fun in the water. They simply began by making a trail around the trampoline and then underneath the trampoline where the excess water was running off into the dirt. Now for those mathematicians out there...what do you get when you mix dirt and water? Yup MUD and that's just what our boys found out too. A whole lot of water in one area becomes a mud puddle which if stepped in repeatedly turns into a mud bath! And that's just what happened. Here are some pictures of their adventure!

Who's hair is it anyway?

Dave and I went out on a date this last week and had Hannah(Dave's youngest sister) watch our kids. When we got home it was quite late so we went to sleep after walking Hannah home(next door). The following morning I found pieces of brown hair about 3 inches long scattered on the floor by the kitchen garbage. As I threw them in the garbage I couldn't figure out why Hannah would cut her hair and not put the pieces in the garbage... It was a mystery to me. Later as I was feeding Maylynn her cereal, I found bits of hair on her clothes(thinking she must have crawled or rolled all over the floor)and some hair hanging in her eyes. As I ran my fingers through her hair, I realize that HER hair was coming out in clumps into my hand.A Nightmare for any mom right... well the funny ending is that Teancum found some scissors and decided to test out his barbering skills on Maylynn. Thankfully he didn't cut it too short and that Maylynn has quite a bit of hair to make it inconspicuous. So, Hannah, sorry for thinking it was you all along, but you have to admit, your hair and Maylynn's is very similar in color, anyone could have made the same assumption!
