The weather has been a little bit cooler lately, so the kids have been playing outside quite a bit.
It's a nice change since for a while I would tell them to play out and they would come in after just a few minutes because they were sweating buckets.

The boys are digging for gold. They were disappointed that there wasn't any in that area that day. If you look closely you'll see Micah's green and clear boxes next to him which contain his rock collection. He gets rocks pretty much wherever we go. We actually ate at a fast food restaurant last week and he hopped out of the car and saw rocks on the other side of the curb. He was excited and grabbed some. :)


While the bigger kids were outside, Jude stayed inside and watched from the door. As long as he can see the other kids he is content to stand there and watch them.


Lila got tired of being outside so she came in and talked on her phone for awhile. She has a few and loves them all. Hopefully she can pay her own cell phone bill in 15 years. ha.


I had to get a shot of Joodles pushing this chair. We don't have a walker anymore because I'm afraid it will roll over another kids toes, so Jude has come up with his own "walker." He pushes our kid chairs around and practices his walking.
