We haven't done anything exciting this week.  It's been rainy the last couple of days so we've been playing inside and winding down a bit.  Austin helped me make scrambled eggs the other day.

Yesterday he helped me make pumpkin muffins and a cinnamon sugar bread.  Since it was still raining we decided to do some baking.

Our muffins turned out perfectly!  Adelaide has been playing and generally tearing the house apart.  She's like a little tornado in whatever room she is in and she goes from room to room tearing it apart before making her way to a new room.

It finally feels like summer this week so we have been living it up outside.  We broke out the sprinkler!  Adelaide was looking very chic in her ladybug swimsuit.

Gavin was the only one who would actually run through the sprinkler.

Austin was willing to stick his arm in.

Then Austin tried to fill up a bowl with water.

Adelaide wasn't too sure about the whole ordeal.

So Gavin decided to help by throwing water on her back.  In his defense, it was a tiny amount of water that hardly caused her to get wet, but she didn't take it well and wouldn't go near the sprinkler again.  At least she looked cute!

Gavin has no such problems about getting wet.

In other exciting news, Gavin got a bigger bike.  We lucked out because they had the exact bike we wanted (it's just the bigger version of the one he had) in the color he wanted in the used section of the bike store so we got a good deal on it.  First thing this morning he went outside to wash it. He also washed his old bike which is Austin's now if we can convince Austin to ride it.  Gavin spent most of today riding his new bike and he is extremely happy with it!

Here he is on his new bike!

Unfortunately, Austin wasn't feeling well today.  He slept most of the afternoon on the couch.  He woke up about dinner time and asked for some toast.  I gave it to him and went back a few minutes later to see if he was eating anything and he had fallen back asleep!  Hopefully he feels better tomorrow because it's his end of year picnic and I'd hate to miss it!

Today we walked to the park.  As we were going around the lake to get to the playground we counted 69 turtles in the lake!  They were everywhere swimming around in herds.  It was incredible!  The first one we saw was a little lost turtle on the trail.  I'm not sure where he thought he was going.

Here's a few of the turtles.

And another patch of turtles!  The boys were really excited to see them all and count them.

I look lots of pictures of the kids on the playground since I haven't taken many pictures lately.  Here they are...

Adelaide's hat is left over from last year.  Her head isn't as big as it looks, it's just that the hat was too small!

Adelaide spent a long time trying to climb up the slide.  She was determined to make it to the top.  Luckily, she thought it was funny to slide back down so even though she never made it to the top she still had a good time.
