I took LOTS of pictures yesterday - perhaps it was a warm-up for Week in the Life which is coming up in about a month, but I just had the urge to capture out day...it was a full one.
There are sooo many pictures that I think I'll have to spread them out over a couple posts....for now let's start with Saturday morning.
LOVE the look Graham gave me for this one....
He had a hard time waking up this morning and told me he would like to sleep all day. Perhaps he's tired because he's waking up in the middle of the night to come sneak into my room and bed! Thursday and Friday night he snuck in and I was too tired to send him back to his room. Last night I realized this was becoming a bad habit and I actually got up to make sure he went back to his own bed. He tried coming in at midnight and then again at 2am - such fun!
After breakfast we got a package from the UPS guy - Graham's new booster seat! Graham has grown out of the car seat that I just got for him last summer - eeek! - so I ordered a booster seat from amazon.com that seemed to get good reviews for comfort and safety. I was pretty proud to get it all put together by myself (it came in many more pieces than I expected) so now it's time to get it in the car. Graham's very excited about the new "big boy booster", but as always, the kids were even more excited about the box it came in....
After all of the fun with the box, I suggested we head outside for a bit. Ellie was definitely on board with this and went to put her shoes on...
Most of the time she even gets them on the right feet too! She's still pretty big on doing things for herself and it takes a little longer for her to finally ask for help.
We also took her sunglasses outside - the sun seems to really bother her beautiful blue eyes. Check out the superstar....
Miss Eleanor LOVES the sandbox - she will sit in there for quite awhile on her own. Doesn't mind getting dirty at all - in fact as I was taking these pictures I noticed she was purposely sprinkling sand onto herself. She seems to get so much dirtier than Graham ever did!
Graham eventually joined us outside and there was bike riding, flower picking, and swinging...
This seems like a good place to stop for now - after playing outside for awhile we went in for a little lunch and then nap/quiet time.....more on the afternoon activities soon :)
