Beautiful Sunday Afternoon

Boys and Sticks

Over the last few weeks I spend much of my time upstairs with the babies while watching the older 3 children play outside through the window. I have made an observation that is best described by me sharing with you their activities over a time span of 3 minutes:
Anika and Aubrey: racing down the driveway rolling their hula hoops
Elijah: hitting the basketball hoop pole with a stick
Anika and Aubrey: each playing with a jump rope, one swinging hers on the ground, the other jumping with hers
Elijah: throwing the stick at the basketball hoop pole
Anika and Aubrey: still playing with jump ropes
Elijah: hitting the tree trunk with a stick
Anika and Aubrey: still playing with jump ropes
Elijah: getting hit with the stick as it rebounded back at him after throwing it at the basketball hoop poll
Anika and Aubrey: still playing with jump ropes
Elijah: again hitting the tree trunk with a stick

On another note, being a nursing mom 3 months postpartum with twins, post c-section, clothes fit differently today then they did one year ago. As I worked through my closet this morning to get dressed for church, I chose a denim skirt, dark pink camisole and a pink sweater to wear to fit my new figure. I topped if off with black shoes and while tights. On the way home from church, Shawn turned to me in the car and said, "you look nice today, I am not sure about the Little House in the Prairie look though". Thanks hunny! That is exactly the look I was going for!!!
