Just another Wednesday

Today we pulled all the couch cushions off of the couch and jumped on them on the floor. The joys of jumping over "lava" cannot be described ;)
We went to the park today for about half an hour. The kids begged to go but I was nervous about Ava and Emmett getting rained on so we compromised with a short visit. The kids really enjoyed the playground today. The heat has made the plastic hot on the play ground but the cooler weather today allowed the kids to be able to play without worrying.
Alex P. was very proud of himself. His sisters taught him how to slide down the fire mans pole on the playground and he showed me six, yes-- count them, six-- times how awesome he is. Way to be kid! Chase and my Alex played on the long slide most of the time today. Josh played with the wood chips. Tyler played by himself on the bridge and on the slides. A few times he found a ledge and started 'counting' "EAH! EAH! EAH!" Whoa buddy! Let me put down Ava first, then you can jump.
Ava was a little less possessive of Emmett today. I wonder if she is getting over her great puppy love. It worked out well since Emmett wanted to be held most of the day and normally when that happens Ava wants to be held too, on the same side as Emmett. Today, however, Ava was okay playing with the floor with her brothers. Good.
The boys made watches today. They were pretty cute with them. Chase kept asking me what time it was and I kept telling him "you tell me, kid. You're the one with the watch" He thought that was really funny. Joshie was cute. He kept telling me it was 18, 19, 20 o'clock. Apparently Joshie functions on military time.
