Playing in the Sprinkler!

We've been doing this a lot on our hot, dry days. The kids love it! Lately, Josh has taken to picking up the sprinkler and chasing us with it though...

They don't really sleep in the same bed...


But sometimes they like to play "Going to Bed"

Following our brief technical difficulties, I now have a new power cord for my computer and can post again! Yay! Hold onto your hats and prepare for some pictures...

Computer meltdown...

Well, we will be unable to post any pictures for a couple of days. I went to plug in our computer on Friday, and the little adapter box starting sparking all over the place. Luckily I was holding it, so I quickly unplugged it before it could catch on fire. It was pretty intense though. So, our computer will not be working until we get the replacement part, which we ordered yesterday. (Dave wanted to just get a new computer, but I put my foot down on that.) At least it's something that can be fixed though, since all my pictures are on that computer! As soon as I get the part, I'm backing up everything.
So until then, the circus will be pictureless and posted from Dave's work computer.

In children news, we went to a birthday party last night and had a lot of fun. Josh showed a lot of proficiency with the soccer ball, which really surprised us. As far as we know, he's never played soccer before. Maybe it's a secret Sunday school activity? He also took a big tumble at a park before the party, which we are still very surpised that nothing was broken. Usually he's really good at not going for the open sections on those giant climbing things they have at playgrounds now, but last night he must have just decided to try to climb down the big kid ladder. Dave and I were both chasing after Miriam, who had gone for the big BIG slide, and next thing you know Josh is screaming! Goes to show that zone defense does not work. We should have stayed on our man-to-man. But he was okay. Still, what will we do with three? They'll outnumber us! :)

Catch up day!

Alright, so I finally uploaded all the birthday related photos today. There were quite a few of them. Now, I just need to do all the movies and other pictures...
Josh's party went really well. He had a great time. So did Miri, who really enjoyed the sandbox. By the time we brought her inside, she had started pouring sand over her head. So sand was everywhere.
Pregnancy wise, been having a rough week. Went to the doctor today, but we couldn't hear the heartbeat. He says not to worry though, because it's still very early. So I'm trying very hard not to worry.
Other than that, kids are still growing "bigger and bigger!" as Josh says. Since he's been potty trained, he's gained a lot of self-confidence to try to do things on his own. Just the other day while I was with Miriam, he got down his birthday cake, ate a big old chunk of that, then proceeded to pour himself a glass of Sprite, without spilling a drop! At least it was the noncaffeinated pop!

After party shenanigans!
