Outside

Alyssa was having a great time going up and down the slide.

As I'm sure you heard in the background John was busy mowing the very long grass in the backyard. I swear we mowed it last week...it just is the perfect growing environment back there I guess. We filled one barrel in the front yard with grass clippings, one barrel of sticks from the backyard (because of the storms this weekend), & 14 bags of grass clippings from the back...granted it was the 13 gallon kitchen sized bags but STILL!

Meanwhile...Ryan was busy causing trouble. He was taking the sticks (out of the barrel of course) and either throwing them at the lawn mower (which John was pushing) or jousting with his sister. I did take one picture as I had the camera in hand but put an end to it quickly. Not the safest thing ever!

Alyssa is just a very busy girl right now. She is spending a lot of time figuring out what she can climb on top of....up & down, up & down, up & down.

Here is a picture of Ryan busy throwing sticks...
