Days and Evenings at the Park

The past couple of days and today, we have spent a lot of time at the park!  Its been hot but there has been a cool breeze which makes it somewhat more bearable especially in the evenings.  Last night we walked into the Duluth Town Green and played around the fountain and the playground.  Today, I took the kids for a picnic lunch and playtime at WP Jones Memorial Park.  There's a creek there that they always play in and we inevitably wind up leaving covered in mud :-)  Baths were definitely in order when we got home and then naps, so it is nice and quiet around here right now <sigh>.  Lets see how long that lasts!  Here's some pictures from our recent park time:

 This is actually in our front yard and not a park..oops.. I'm coaching Johnny's soccer team this season so we've been trying to practice a little bit at home to get us both ready.

 It turns out that  Naomi is quite skilled at dribbling the ball!  Only 4 more years and she can play too ;-)

 All that soccer sure does make a girl thirsty!!

 It looks like we are halfway there to our own soccer team!

 Naomi (wearing Johnny's shin guards) became mesmerized by the fountain for about 5 minutes.

 Wow, is it just me or is he incredibly handsome?!

 Having fun playing in the fountain.

 Just hanging out watching our babies play in the fountain.

 "Mom, I'm wet and cold!!"

 Driving already..sheesh..

 Just a little playtime.

 Umm.. what's wrong with this picture?

 Heading home after a fun time in the creek.

 She sure does love her biggest brother.

Oh!  I almost forgot!  I have everything ready to start school next Monday..woohoo!!  There were a couple of changes I had to make:



 After putting the cute border and the letter z back on the wall about a million times and having to collect the sticky tack from Naomi's mouth, I decided to move my lines up a bit and get rid of the cute border :-( 

Yay for my new storage cart that I can move around the house with us and yay for having everything organized!! Let's start school!!
