Mommy and Addie played games while Ayson was at lacrosse practice Monday evening

Mommy noticed a massive slug on the back porch Wednesday morning and called the kiddos to come take a closer look!


Ayson asked Mommy to send the picture to Grady's Mom so that Grady could see the slug too!

Mushrooms growing in the mulch

Our sunflowers are getting massive!!!

Saturday:
Daddy found a cicada that had not molted! So we placed it inside one of our bug collectors to watch the process.

However, A^4 headed to 8th Annual Jone's Unbirthday Party Saturday afternoon. Trisha had paint and patterns to make T-shirts...

Of course the kiddos swam

and there was a water balloon fight :)



The device used to make the patterns for the T-shirts

Addie chasing after the chickens

She was determined to catch one!

Yay!

We now have a chicken wrangler :)

Addie making a t-shirt


After dinner it was time for the pinata!


By the time the pinata was busted open, much of the candy had been smashed to pieces!

When we arrived back home Saturday evening, our cicada had molted!!!

So we set it out on the back porch so that it could fly away

On Sunday, we were invited to a pool birthday party for a friend of Addie's.
Addie loved the pool as it had a shallow end that allowed her to practice swimming with out a life jacket!

Homemade slushies

Matthew, Jacob, and Addie. They were in Pre-K together and they all have Mrs Long for Kindergarten :)

Another birthday pinata!!!



The kiddos SO wanted to get back in the pool but we made them wait until AFTER Matthew blew our his birthday candles :)

Addie was sleeping within 2 minutes of leaving Matthew's house :)

Neighbor Denise came over on Sunday evening to watch the kiddos so that Mommy and Daddy could go on an anniversary date: kayaking at Labrador Pond!!!

We had a great time and enjoyed the peaceful scenery!

We even managed to kayak further back into the south end of the pond than we had never ventured to before!
