What We're Doin'

Yesterday we went to the circus! It was tons of fun aside from being 95 blazin' degrees outside which caused grumpy kids. Luckily they started with tigers and that helped distract the kids from the heat. Ruth especially loved the flying trapeze guys. Will loved the magic act, which was really just this girl that changed her dress 10 times and it only took her 2 seconds to change each time. It was cool. (today Ruth was wanting to re-enact the "changing dress girl" routine.) And we all loved the motorcycles in the ball act.

This is them in their cool new chairs eating gingersnaps (homemade) and milk. Today Ruth got her bunny, that she calls "Mother," and was putting her in the chairs.

(Last week we had rain and cold weather, thus the long sleeves and sweats.)

We've also been eating lunch at the park almost every day along with swinging and digging in the sand. I'm also happy to report that I have successfully planted flowers and kept them alive for more than a month. They continue to bloom and look great!

Today we learned that Ruth likes salmon. She also loves to push Will on the tire swing. Will loves to do pretty much everything Ruth does. He gets very jealous if she is given something and he doesn't get one too.

And in final news, Ruth is now completely diaper free (no more night time diapers) and binky free!!!! That one took some convincing, especially since brother still gets a night time binky, but we finally won!
