All About Play

We are home! We are back! We pulled in to our driveway and saw a big sign and chalk writing on the driveway welcoming baby Ryder home. I have no idea who did it, but was so happy to see it.

The first few minutes as I walked around the house I must admit it felt pretty foreign and weird (tomorrow will mark one month since we left for our vacation); but then it was quickly home and I was so glad to be here.

So today will be our first day on our own... so far so good, as Eric started a show for Alex so I could sleep some more.

And since I am trying to get back settled in I figured today is a perfect day to participate in Oswald Cuties Monday Mugs.

The theme this week is play. The few days before I had Ryder in Utah, it was all about play; when there are 6 kids 5 and under there is going to be some fun.

Games and games of red light green light.And don't forget duck, duck, goose.
And walks and runs with cousins


Getting "drinks" from the fire hydrant of course
Rolling down hillsAnd jumping off of rocks

And this all happened in about 30 minutes.

No wonder why kids tire us out.

  3. You can get anything from the "fire hydrant fountain" you know...anything from root beer to raspberry lime juice. I think in this picture I was drinking pomegranate lemonade. Hee Hee
