Kids new Swing Set

My cousin is moving, and we were lucky enough to inherit the gym set that he had build for his daughter. It was HUGE so Mark actually had to cut the legs off of it to bring it home. It has a slide, swing and a double swing. It also has a great big house on it with a deck!! Ben keeps calling it "his house". He's really enjoyed it already, and he's only played in the house. He is driving me a little crazy though because he wants to know when daddy is going to finish his house. We also got a little plastic castle that we were going to take to my mom's, but Claire just fell in love with it, so we kept that here too!!

Enjoying the beach!!!

Here is Ben with his pile of sand! He was very proud of himself!





We have been enjoying our time at the beach with everyone this week!! As you can see, we will be buying Ben a bike when we get home!! He mastered Owen's bike with training wheels in about 2 minutes.





We have a playground that is very close to us. We've taken the kids down there twice, and they absolutely love it! As long as Claire is in motion in the swing, she is happy.

Claire watching TV

Apparently, this is how Claire watches TV now. I was doing some stuff in the kitchen and when I looked out, she was laying like this in the living room!!! Of course, she's been flopping herself on the floor all day long today!!!

Chuck E. Cheese's

We had our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese's today! We had Hutch, so we thought it would be great for Ben to have someone to play with there!! They had so much fun. Ben didn't want to leave. And Claire was happy as long as she had a piece of Pizza in her hand. She is our little piggy!!!! :)
