Backyard fun! (Summer 2009)

They may be the "lazy days" of summer, but there is DEFINITELY a lot of action going on in the backyard ... with 6 little ones under the age of 5, imagine the energy! The kids love spending their days out back... whether it's playing or getting wet in the pool or sprinkler, they are having a BLAST!







































p.s. I had to include this pic ... it was taken at Memom's house ... LOL. :) You never know what you will find these kids doing... yes-- one is on the (travel) potty, one is pretending to talk on the phone, and the others are getting in on the photo op! As Aunt Sharon always says, "there's always some kind of action going on!" :)

Sprinklin' and tinklin'! (6/16/08)

More backyard fun... this time we gave the sprinkler a try! Angelia loved it and Juliana joined in the fun shortly thereafter (she even tried to catch the water with her "bug net"), but Anthony & Micaela pretty much kept their distance. Everyone came together for a ride on the see-saw, though (clothing optional-- as always, esp. with Juliana in the mix!).
Speaking of Juliana, there she is sitting on the potty. Thought I'd continue to encourage using the potty, so... instead of putting them in a swim diaper, I thought I'd simply take a potty outside & let them use that if they had to go. In the end, we had 3 "attempts" and no "successes", but-- we TRIED! A step in the right direction, I hope. We'll keep trying.
More summer fun to come! stay tuned...
