Balls of Fun

My Aunt bought Dell this awesome 54 inch inflatable ball that you can crawl into an roll down the hill. Yesterday we finally got it out and took it to our neighbors who has a great big grassy yard. They kids had so much fun, and it was quite the work out for me pushing it up and down the yard. They can't wait to go do it again.

OLIVES

We had spaghetti for dinner last night, and while I was cooking I kept giving Mason olives. He loves them I started putting them on his fingers and he would just giggle, then he's pop one in his mouth. I have to say that I think he's about a cute as they come. Not that I'm biased or anything.

We bought some of the fair trade Africa baskets that we like so much to sell at the Street Fair/Market that we are doing. They arrived the other day and after shaping them we had to move them to the basement because they were filling the living room. Dell was a great help he picked up as many as he could and down the stairs he went. I couldn't resist taking a picture of him.

Slip N' Slide

I bought the kids a slip n' slide yesterday thinking it would be better than a pool right now, and I think Dell would agree. We got it out this morning and he's been having a blast. He keeps telling me "this is the best thing we ever got" well at least he's easy to make happy. Ellie on the other hand won't have anything to do with it, she "tried" it once if you want to call it that and then told me "it's too cold". She is definitely not into outdoor water kind of girl.

Fun Pictures

We were apart of a business fair this last weekend promoting the new business that we are working on for the summer. It's going to be a craft fair/farmers market/live music/family fun event on Tuesdays at the Main Street Park and we're trying to get the word out. The woman we are working with is a photographer by trade and was taking pictures as well. My kiddo's got to be her models so to speak when her flash was going it attracted more people over and well Ellie was more than willing to help her out. She dressed up in so many different outfits I can't even count the boys on the other hand were not so willing but she did still get a few good shots of each of them. I'm going to have her print some more out for me, but she made me a disc as well. They are so cute ENJOY!!!

T- Ball

I signed Dell up for T-ball of month or so ago and he started playing last week. It has been a lot of fun going and watching his team play. It is not very organized and most of the kids don't really know what they need to do, but fun none the less. Tuesday's game was just a comedy of errors, there were a few kids who were coming for the first time and one little boy hit the ball and when the told him to run he ran to the ball and laid on top of it, and his brother did the same thing when he went to bat. They don't usually call kids out if they were lucky enough to get the ball to the base before the runner and all the kids get to bat and the last one gets to run like he hit a home run. He has really enjoyed it.

Lesson's

Miss Ellie got a bit of a tough love lesson this week. We were at our local thrift store the other day looking for some large spoons to make wind chimes with and when I was looking she put a compass in her pocket. I had no idea until several hours later Dell made a comment about wishing he could have got something like Ellie did when we were at the store. Rite then I knew that something was not rite so I asked what do you mean. He says Ellie got a compass and I didn't get anything. Oh boy why would she do such a thing. When asked why she did it she said " I don't know" when asked did you know it was the wrong thing to do she says "yes". So she has spent the day in her bedroom and then we took her back to the store where she had to return it and apologize for taking it. The woman at the store was very nice and appreciative that she came back and told the truth and apologized. Hopefully this has taught her a lesson and we won't have to so this again.
