Day of Adventure with 3 boys!

Yesterday was a busy but fun day! The big boys wanted to play outside. Because it was so beautiful I couldn't say no to taking Wyatt out too! We spent most of the day outside enjoying our high 70s day!

I was working on cleaning out our front flower bed while they played. One of the neighbor's kids said, "Look there goes Hayden!" I look up and see not Hayden, but WYATT flying down the hill in our little Tykes coupe car! The boy was seriously flying~~~ I started running after him, but he was too far ahead. If it weren't for the parking blocks at the end of the hill, he would've gone right into the little pond! He came to a HARD stop against the parking block! When I got to him I heard him whimpering... Like 3 times. Then he got out and wondered around. It was like he was saying that was fun, but scary! HE IS SOOOO LIKE CARTER!

In fact today, HE TRIED TO GO DOWN THE HILL AGAIN!!! I had to move the car way far away so that wouldn't think about it! He is such an adventure seeker... and gives me a heart attack!

The boys had fun playing in the mud they made with the water hose... YEAH our first really warm day and they BEGGED to play in the water!

This is Carter "mud surfing"

So then in order to save my house from muddy feet...

Carter had baseball practice last night. So after our mud adventure, I rinsed off the boys, made dinner on the go, and headed off to practice. They had batting practice with a pitching machine. Carter and his friend Cody were the best hitters on the team. (the coach said that not me) They did make the most contact with the ball (even though they were pitched to at a lower speed). I was so proud! I took all FOUR boys to the playground across the river from the park. They had so much fun. Even though it was crowded, I managed to keep track of all of them! (SORRY I LEFT MY CAMERA ON THE COUNTER AT HOME!) Maybe leaving the camera was a good thing... then I'd be distracted taking pictures and have lost one!

After dropping Cody off I was going to get a "treat" (aka milkshakes) from Mc D's on the way home... GUESS WHAT?! The machine wasn't working there! (it never does! so its a gamble to get one there!) We stopped at the grocery store and got stuff for sundaes. I think this may have been our first ever ice cream sundae night. (we don't like ice cream that much... cookies are another story! Carter also has cold sensitive front teeth... so since he doesn't eat it much I just hadn't thought about the other two!)

As you can see the sundaes were a big hit... especially with my two littlest guys!

This is what I caught Hayden doing while I was giving a VERY messy Wyatt and Carter baths!

Seriously not two minutes later this is what I found!

Today we had two of Hayden's friend over first thing before lunch! (It was raining this morning and this saved them from watching a soceer game plus they got to play together!) They did great and had a blast! It was quite interesting with FIVE boys in the house!

I let my two oldest play in the mud again.. am I dumb or what! (they were too cold to wait for me to take pictures and tracked mud through the house! I should've taken pictures of that!) So I spent the rest of the day cleaning! I'm starting to think maybe Hayden SHOULDN'T be giving up his naps yet... :)
