When Noah, the little boy I babysit was here last, we played with Play Doh, which is a big deal since we seldom do it! We used all the homemade colors we made, laid the plastic tablecloth out on the carpet and let the three go to it- SO FUN!
Veronica, my neice, came over to play and spend the day with us last week. After naptime, we headed outside to play. A few spoons, some empty bowls, and lots of imagination and the kids made "stew" . With some advice from the older neighbors, we added water and weeds and grass and violets and it was fun for almost an hour. My three shared with the neighbors and before ya know it, we had 7 bowls of stew brewing! Only Amara actually got to taste the stew for real and I have a feeling she won't try it again next time.
June, our next door neighbor, hung plastic balls this year from her front tree. The kids love running through them, batting them with their hands, and watching the moms and dads retreive the balls from the trees.
Each year for May Day, we make a special gift for Jack and June. My house is always the place we plan and execute and the gift is delivered early on May Day morning. Well this year, Jack and June left from Wisconsin early so we pushed everything up and got to work. The kids made a rock garden for them. Each child painted a rock and put their name on it. Then they collected rocks and stones from each of our yards and gardens and we placed them all together to give to Jack and June. This way, they would have a piece of each of us in their garden.
Jack loved all the homemade cards we delivered.
GOLF SEASON IS HERE!!!! And Brian needs practice before we head to Galesburg and he plays this Sunday. So we headed to the driving range with the kids. Al's been there often but it was Mara's first time as a participant!
Alaric brushes up on his skills too
Oh Amara! She just loved being a part of it all.
Let the good times roll!

what fun to be Fulton! I love the pots in the yard- perfect! I'm going to steal the balls in the trees idea. That looks like a lot of fun!
I am predicting that Alaric will be a chef like his dad...h Amara is just so stinkin cute, I can't get over it. I am predicting that she will be a trouble teen like her mom was! What a nice thing to do for Jack and June. They obviously love you all to pieces.
