RT: Ean just got the summer 2009 Lego mag. Battle of Endor is awesome and new Darth Vader magnet with helmet off. I’m officially a geek!

Ella’s painted toes! http://twitpic.com/85jiy

While out at Rick’s, Ean always asks to go fishing on the pond behind the house. On the 20th catch of bluegill, a bass struck the hook.

Needless to say, Ean was stoked!!

Looking for that golden ticket. #willywonka http://twitpic.com/71ayq

While Ean was busy running through the sprinkler, little Monster was taking a dip in her pool.

At first she was very timid about it, but then she realized that it was just like bathtime, except that in the pool outdoors she doesn’t get in trouble for splashing.

Add her Mickey and Minnie to the pool and fun is to be had for the crew.

Here are the pictures of her playing..well splashing..in the baby pool:

I wasn’t looking forward to mowing very much today, but knew it had to be done. I broke out the lawnmower and Ean came out front with me. Ella stayed at the door crying because she wanted to come outside with us.

I finished the front yard and started to push the mower to the back. It was hot and sweaty so what is the best way to cool off before tackling the backyard. Yep, a sprinkler.

While April got the pool ready for Ella, I hooked up the sprinkler for Ean. He pulled out his umbrella and goggles to keep from getting too wet.

Here is the slideshow for your enjoyment – goggles and all.:

Yesterday, April, the kids and I headed over to my Mom’s house. The day ended up being beautiful and we spent a good portion of the afternoon outside playing with bubbles and balls.

Here are some images of the day:

Last week on my day off, April, the kids and I went down to the park to play around. We flew some kites (well…. attempted to fly). playing on the playsets and just lounged around on blankets. When we got home, Ean broke out his bike and Ella got a kick out of honking the horn.

Here is a slide show of the day:

I hope you enjoy the photos.
