Busy Saturday...

We pulled the baby toys out of storage, and the girls made sure that Isaiah had plenty to play with! I think he might have been a bit overstimulated!

We finally had a rain-free day, and the girls spent almost the entire day outside with their Daddy! They helped get the yard ready for summer by raking and pulling weeds, and also did lots of playing on the trampoline and swings and searching for "pets"...

Hannah's roly-poly bug named "Roly", of course ;)

Clara found a snail!

New homes for the "pets"

Clara can now start and stop on her bike and has gone on some longer bike rides. I have taken her with me on a couple of shorter runs, and I love having her along for conversation! She has even experienced her first sore muscles the day after her bike ride!

Eliza is our little monkey, and it's not uncommon for me to look out the back windows and see her climbing on or hanging from something, following right behind Hannah! She worked for over a half hour, pulling weeds out of the gravel with Daddy-he was impressed with how focused she was and how hard she worked to help him!

After dinner, we all got ready to go get Clara's ears pierced! She's been talking about it for months and counting down the days for weeks. Here's the "before"...

Nervous excitement....she got to hold the "Claire bear" while she was waiting...

Now she's just looking nervous...with her sisters watching very closely!

And, she did it!!! No tears and a happy smile as she checked out her new, blue flowers on her ears!

I love busy Saturdays spending time together!
