A Day At the Park

The fact that Addi's growing up hit me like a ton of bricks today.  Maybe it's because she tried to pick out her own school clothes this morning (and no, I didn't let her wear a fleece Elmo jacket with a nightgown) or maybe it's because once she got to school, she happily ran into the building.  Maybe it was both...in Addi's words - I can't know. =)    But, I do know that when it comes to being a stay at home mommy, for all of my kiddos, I want to do more to make it count.  I want to do more to treat this season like the treasure that it is, because, my goodness, it just goes by so fast!   I have a lot of ideas up my sleeve, so stay tuned for those.  As far as today goes, we thought it would be fun to take an afternoon trip to the park with Daddy.

Addi has long loved the park. But this afternoon, Karsyn realized just how much fun the park can be.  She loved trying to walk up and down steps!

And check out this big kid???  Oh wait a second, that's Daddy!!!  He enjoyed time with the little ladies today.

I love this picture of Karsyn.  She walked every twisty step up to the two story slide.  She and I went down together and she had pure joy on her face.  When we got to the bottom, the static did a number on her hair.  But really, could she be any cuter???

We played for nearly and hour.  And then it was time to go.  These little girls would have stayed there all day if they could have.

We ran by the grocery store.  (Sure didn't realize how dirty this cart was until I saw this picture.)  And then it was time to go get Evan and Payton.

After we got Evan and Payton, we played a game of basketball in the drive way.  It was a great way to end the day!
