Dress up night
Not too long ago it was raining after dinner. So no walk. But the kids played dress up all evening. And it was a blast!

Abigail thought this was the funniest thing ever. She had on a wrap to wear over a bathing suit, her hair in a side ponytail, and had her baby doll car seat strapped to her butt. HA!
All summer, Abigail has wanted to put the pool at the bottom of the slide. So we did a few weeks back. It was tons of fun. But we had to cut it short, the pool just couldn't handle the craziness.
Here is sweet Samuel with his first real boo boo. He was knocked down, on accident, by Josiah riding a scooter. He got quite the mark on his face. All the more reason to kiss him!
Here are the kids all strapped in to head to Bonky's last month. They had a great time!
For her birthday, Aunt Beckie gave Abigail a pedicure kit. So we had a great time doing it on the porch the other day.
On her birthday Daddy brought home roses for Abigail. She felt like the princess she is.
A few weeks ago the kids' church had a crazy hair day. Here is Samuel ready to participate.
This year Abigail wanted to have a bug themed birthday party. We had dirt dessert in pots filled with worms, a bug hunt, pin the spider on the spider web, lady bug pinata and lots of bug gifts. Tons of buggy fun!
Abigail went to a party earlier this summer where they had a pinata. She loved it and wanted one for her birthday. So I told her we could make one. She was so excited. It was so much fun to make it ourselves and it turned out so good it was such a bummer to have to bust it. But it was fun!
Elizabeth was closest to the center, so she won a shovel and trowel that looked like a bee.
Abigail really wanted to hunt bugs for her party. But not everyone loves bugs like her. So I tried to do something fun that would be close to that. So we got a bunch of tiny plastic bugs and had a bug hunt in the yard. It was sort of like an Easter egg hunt, and it was so much fun! Elizabeth finds one in the bush.
This is a basket full of stuff that I got at the library for the party. Bug books, both stories and fact filled books, and puppets. Tons of fun!
The table with the big pot with the dirt cake and the little pots we decorated with all the kids names on them for the guests to eat out of.
For Abigail's birthday we went to the Children's Museum here in Pittsburgh with the 5 of us, Bonky, Pappy, Aunt Beckie, and Cousin Cole. It was a ton of FUN!
This was by far Samuel's favorite thing at the museum. The water floor. check out his cute coat!
This was a giant wall of those needles that if you push on one side the shape shows up on the other. It was a ton of fun.
If you pulled the levers her it made this giant statue move ti's arms, legs, head, depending on which lever you pulled.
Josiah turns the handle so that the paper runs through the press printing his lithograph.
