our morning

i intentionally had NOTHING planned today. and it stayed that way. it was so nice.

we had a "normal" morning at home...some arguing...some cleaning up...some playing and games and laughter...some laundry...

walked up to the school because joshua forgot his towel to have a picnic lunch outside.

and then went to the playground on the way home.
i'm so glad this picture turned out. i had my camera hanging around my neck, took the lens cap off and just snapped without looking! i'm holding sawyer's balloon...and his sweet, pudgy hand :-)

bailey is AMAZING at the hula hoop!!!

oh. FUNNY bailey story that i've been telling for days.
a couple days ago, we are all walking in the house (up those steps you see behind bailey in this picture) and they are always fighting to be first in the house. why? i have no idea. but they do. joshua tripped up the steps and hurt his foot or something. i kept walking into the kitchen. i guess bailey was smiling as she walked in the house. joshua and her started going back and forth, "bailey, stop laughing at me." "i'm not laughing at you." after about the 3rd time..."bailey, stop laughing at me." bailey says...totally seriously, "joshua, i'm NOT laughing at you. i'm smiling and i can't HELP it! i'm just HAPPY!" so bailey. the girl is JUST HAPPY! love her!

read some books to sawyer in his bed...and kissed the sweet boy goodnight no less than 10 times :-)

a "normal" last day together...
