Since it was Memorial Day weekend we broke out the pool.




The pool was not quite what I thought it was...apparently the box and I had a failure to communicate because for some reason I thought it was much bigger then it turned out to be.  Oh well, that's what you get for shopping in the clearance section at Wal-Mart when you are eight months pregnant!  The boys enjoyed it anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Poor Adelaide was used as a motorcycle raceway by her brothers.

She looked very pretty in her Memorial Day outfit though.


Our neighbors let us borrow their Bumbo seat.  At first Adelaide wasn't quite sure what to think of it.  She didn't not like it, but she wasn't sure if she liked it.

She has really started reaching for things this week.  She is grabbing the toys on her bouncy seat and grabbing for toys you put in front of her.


This afternoon we tried the Bumbo seat outside and Adelaide really liked that!  She sat right up and watched her brothers riding their bikes in the driveway.  She can only hold her head up for a few minutes right now so she's not it in long before I lay her down to rest.




Here are Gavin and Austin riding their bikes.


Adelaide contemplating how her life is going so far....


And more bike riding...

Yesterday Austin played with Adelaide for a while.






After school Austin and Gavin went to tag turtles with the Conservation Dept.



And, school's out!  Gavin was very sad!

We have spent a lot of time outside the last couple days.  Adelaide loves to hang out and watch her brothers play!




Today she looked pretty in her new watermelon dress!

The boys spent the morning riding their bikes.




Austin has gotten the hang of pedaling!



This afternoon we got out the knight play tent.  Austin never did take a nap but he had fun popping out of it and Gavin enjoyed playing with his Legos inside.


We also got out on the trail this afternoon!

We had an exciting weekend celebrating both Gavin's kindergarten graduation and Austin's third birthday (he finally got his cake!).  Gavin is officially a 1st grader!


Austin wanted a firetruck cake and that's what he got.  It was a little droopy because we hadn't turned on our air conditioner yet and I didn't think about it being too warm for icing until I was almost done and wondering why my icing was being difficult!  Austin liked it anyway.


He was ready to dig in as soon as he blew out the candles.

Then it was present time!




Today Gavin worked on building a Lego helicopter.  He did a great job!  It's 393 pieces and has two instruction books and he worked very diligently all morning on it.  I only had to help him a couple times.  He has it almost together but didn't get time to put the propellers on so he's going to do that in the morning.



Austin is not allowed to touch the Lego helicopter which made him very sad so we made a helicopter out of the Duplos.  He did not want me to take a picture of it which is why he is mad at me in this picture.
