Yay for Monday!

I love coming home after a long day at work and being able to go outside and play with the kids in nice weather.  A little finger nail painting, funny face making, and tag playing and we're now ready for baths.  :)

Look at my beautiful nails!!!

Someday our Peonies will bloom and the ants will be REALLY happy!

The look of true happiness...

Yup, she's all ours.  :)

One for the Senior yearbook some day...

I let Daddy catch me...

Typical Adri...

Look Mom, I'm a fish!

Sammy doing his favorite thing, swinging...  (And yes, his fingernails are also painted)

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...  :)

Sunday, Sunday

What an amazing Sunday it's been.  The kids started their day by playing in pool, then they continued their day with playing in the pool.  The end of their day included, you guessed it, playing in the pool!  :)  Does it get any better than that?

3 more weeks and we'll be home playing for the summer!!!

The slide going into the pool?  Totally my idea!

Look!  I can clap and splash!

Totally addicted to coffee...I have to give him a little sip just so he won't beg any more...

Why do I see her as a swimmer/high diver some day?

Sandy patiently waits for the kids to finish playing so they can play with her.

Her most winning smile...

And, Sammy's gotten a hold of the coffee again...

And he drinks as much as he can before someone catches him...

Adri's turn!

Too bad most of it ends up on his chest and chin.  :)

Look Mom!  I gave myself a tattoo!  Do you see the blue?

Sandy Rainbow

Meet the new addition to our house, Sandy Rainbow.  She is a spunky, happy, little Shitzu-Pug mix, and we are in LOVE!!!

We adopted her last Saturday and from the moment she entered our house it was like she had always lived her with us.  She absolutely adores the kids and races to go outside and go to the bathroom so that she can hurry and be back in with them.  When we are watching tv you can find her cuddled up right next to one of the kids, enjoying the abundant attention and love she gets from them.  I seriously can't believe what a perfect fit she has been with our family.  We are looking forward to all of the years of love and play we'll get to spend with her.

Adri and her best friend...

Where you find Adri, you'll find Sandy...Or is it the other way around?

Snake!

Adri is a rare breed of girl. She refuses all that interests most little girls; loving dolls, dresses, princesses, etc. Instead, our daughter chooses to focus her attention on animals, the weirder the better; rats, lizards, snakes, etc. She will spend hours catching frogs and bugs to play and watch them.

Friday evening Matt brought Adri a surprise he had found at work.

Whatchya got there Daddy?

This just creeps me out, but I am not a big fan of snakes, bugs, or spiders. More power to the girl!

And then, the snake bit her. End of the story. He was let go into the woods immediately after. Guess he didn't enjoy all the Adri attention. :)
