Austin built a big train track before we left, and used his dinosaurs to play Dinosaur Train. It's a PBS show (probably for preschoolers!), but it gave him ideas to use with his toys. On our trip, Austin told me, Thomas is for babies. But I still like trains! He used Caroline's new birthday Kailan treehouse in this set up. So nice of her to share...
The kids have had countless popsicles. Caroline makes such a mess with them, but thinks she's one of the big kids! She does end up eating the whole thing--what doesn't drip away, that is. This time worked out good. The kids were going on the Slip 'n Slide anyway, so Caroline got rinsed off before coming in the house! That's the way to do it!
Oh, Caroline. That doesn't look comfortable... She didn't even notice...
The big kids had a water gun fight.
They saw this in the sky:
And started shooting at it! Sorry Farmers!

Grandma Alvina gave each of the big kids a craft kit. Austin made his up right away after vacation, into these race cars. He's also been busy, busy playing Legos.
Lauren's craft kit from Grandma Alvina was these flower fairies. She loves them! They are 6 different colors, and she gave them all names that match up with Tinkerbell and her friends. Like, this green one is Tinkerbell, and the purple one is Vidya.
Below: Lauren with a popsicle... Caroline with her bandaid and lollipop after her 2-yr appointment. She only got one shot (Hep A), and only quivered her lip. Brave girl! Lauren told me, before the check-up, "Caroline gets a shot, and I get a lollipop!" Which has been true in the past! LOL This time Caroline got a sucker too, as did all three big kids. Caroline was a stinker to be weighed, though, and refused to stand on the scale. She had to sit on the infant scale to be weighed! She's still our peanut: 24 lbs., and 33 inches, 20th and 40th percentiles, respectively.
