Busy kids

Big Will enjoyed his four week stint in gymnastics class. He was able to practice his hops.  He hops all over the place.  I signed him up for another round of gymnastics classes. This time class is 4 months long (or longer - who can remember).  

We had a date in Naperville with the whole group. The whole group (when there aren't additional friends like Jill/Eleanor/Jack) include 10 kids - all under four and a half - and 4 adults.  Alicia lined up her babysitter to come over and watch Kit-Kat and Tom so we could take the big kids (two years and older!) to the beach across the street.  It's a great area with a zero entry pool and a large sand area. It was mayhem. We should go back when the kids are 12 and know how to swim and aren't as interested in playing in the sand. I think sand is disgusting.

Our flock of babies walking along the parking lot to go home from playing in the park which is next to the beach. Helen had to help Big Will (toward the back).

Kathryn and Big Willie.  Big Will looks huge compared to Kathryn in this picture. Kathryn is 3.  Will is 2.

The five of us went to the pool one weekend. It was freezing and miserable. I think the outside temperature was only 75 which didn't seem cold but the water was cold. It just wasn't fun.  Big Will was shaking he was so cold.

This girl needs to stop eating stupid stuff.

Miss M decided to water the plant instead of try to destroy it.  She typically pulls off all the leaves/flowers/berries from any plant she can get ahold of.  She likes to make soups and other nonsense but really all she makes is a mess. Andrew generally cares more than I do. I am just happy she's entertaining herself. She is not good at entertaining herself.
