I have to say that I think we actually did a good job of enjoying our backyard this summer, considering we don't have alot for the kids to do. We realized that the swing set that we have is getting too small for them now, due to three kids that all decided to learn how to pump. Two of them going the same way would have that thing tipped on end in no time! So we are on the lookout for a heavier set with bigger kid options.
When we couldn't go out to the lake, we managed to stay cool in our little pool. The kids don't need anything big for at home (just yet), so we'll make do with what we've got. It is amazing how "one more year" of growth and maturity in kids can make it that much easier on a mother. I could actually enjoy being outside with them this year. Big strides!
Maura does a great job of keeping herself happy and busy! She thinks that she can do anything her little heart desires, and that can be a problem sometimes. Like taking this 3 wheeler down the hill in our yard, rolling it and throwing herself under the car. Needless to say, she got back on it a little while later and proceeded to go down the hill again, but with a little more caution. She will keep us holding our breath in the future, I just know it!
It will be fun to see just what kind of fun things we can do in our backyard next summer!
