Mud Princess

It has been raining a lot here over the last few days. In between the down pours, I thought I'd go outside and do some weeding (. . .yay.) Malia was kind enough to help out. . .only. . .she didn't pull weeds. She just grabbed handfuls of mud and relocated it. She also found a little puddle to play in. Then she thought it was fun to walk around and see all the little mud footprints that were left behind.
This is what she looked like when we were done. . .

Her poor boots!

Swingin'

Today Nolan got to bring home Cocoa the monkey from his Kindergarten class. He really really wanted to go take some pictures with him and Cocoa, so we went across our backyard and across the street to the swings. Here are a few pictures we took. I'm counting the few of Bella and Malia as part of their 4 year/18 month pictures. . .I'll be taking more. :)
I'm loving the ginormous tree for the background.


I must say. . .I do have some pretty cute kids!
