Exciting weather!

Today the kids decided to fly the kites. All of a sudden it has been so cold and rainy. Which is good, because we do need rain. It was snowing a little. The kids were determined to fly kites, though.
Alex was the most determined of all.
I finally told them that I didn't want them getting sick so they concurred. If you notice both Brigham and Lizzie had to wear shorts today. Alex told me he had on warm clothes so I didn't need to worry about him getting sick. He came in anyways.

This is last week. It has been really warm. I was watering the lawn and the kids decided they wanted to go through the water. I thought it was too cold, but they certainly didn't think so. I even let them put on their swimsuits.
UUUHHH!!!
She went through it more than the boys did, I believe.

So that is that. We also inherited a big trampoline for outside last week that has given us hours of entertainment. The kids love it. Mark promised the kids that he would sleep with them out there, so on Friday night we all slept out there. Lizzie was fine until about four and then it was too cold for her so we went in. We have had an ultimate blast on it. All of you are welcome to come check it out if you'd like. It has a containment net around it so its safer. Good thing, because I think everytime the boys jump on it they end up landing in that net.

We also have been potty training Lizzie. She's been dry so far this week. I actually have her go every couple of hours. She'll only tell me at supper time and bed time or if we are at church. She was dry last night! Okay so I woke her up when we went to bed and had her go, but she was dry. Hopefully this lasts and goes well. She has also been sleeping through the nights! Finally. I think what happened is she got a cold and got a little more tired, and she has slept much better. Yippee.
