Yesterday, I had the honor to have 3 toddlers over and my good friend Melissa. The night before when I was putting Brody to bed we prayed that we would have nice weather so him and his friends would be able to play outside... It looks like our prayer had been answered because we had beautiful weather to enjoy our day.
First the kids played inside for the morning and around 9:30 we went out and jumped on the trampoline watching the 4 of them get along and converse so well while I enjoyed a cup of coffee was such a blessing. Then we played a game of "kick the bucket" and "hide and go seek" the kids also enjoyed taking turns on the 4 wheeler! I'm so proud of them for sharing!
Melissa had a great idea of letting the kids make a list of 10 things that we could find on the way to the park. We called it our "nature walk." Of course the kids had some great ideas but also some non-realistic ideas.. Such as Brody's idea of finding poop.. Seriously? I'm sure we could have found some but I don't think they I would have wanted to put that in their bucket... YUCK! Anyways, they all took turns thinking of ideas while I wrote them down. Here is their list.. (needless to say we did not find a girl or a spider to bring home)
It was so cute to watch how excited they got over finding a rock or a stick.. I'm also sure our neighbors like that the kids picked numerous dandelions out of their yards.. as you can tell from my post yesterday Brody thinks their flowers and he likes to pick A LOT of them!
We ended our afternoon with a picnic and story time in the front yard! Thank you Janel for having such wonderful, respectful, and of course fun kids! It truly made my day (and Brody's) I am so thankful for each day god blesses me with!
