Phone Photo Friday

I was visiting a friend this week and to catch up on each others lives we swapped phones and started scrolling through pictures. It was actually a lot of fun. So here's a first shot at a "Phone Photo Friday" to share our last week!

If you care to join in, post a link to your blog in the comment section below.

Happy Friday!

Jack da yizard and other outside adventures...

Meet "Jack da yizard."

This little guy lives right outside the cellar and Walker has named him Jack da yizard (lizard). 

He's outside nearly every day Walker always runs outside yelling "where's Jack da yizard?" 

Here, Walker has his cars organized.  A collection of race cars, a collection of trucks and a group of regular cars with a steam roller thrown in!  These cars were our latest craigslist find.  He LOVES them!

 See?

 Marlee has discovered the wonderful world of Cheerios.  

 And the wonderful world of "get this bib off of me right now or I'm gonna bust"

 A little outside adventuring

 started out happy, fun and carefree...

 and quickly headed south

 and you thought my kids were happy ALL THE TIME

 as we neared naptime

 we were able to salvage a few more minutes with some mega blocks

 and end our time on a pleasant note.

Bath Buddies

Here they are - little bath buddies.  Yes, Marlee is still in a baby tub because it's the only way I have to confine her and still get the kids bathed at the same time.  She doesn't seem to mind at all!

Walker always likes to rinse his own hair and then says "wook, there's a tornado in my hair"

I used to make fun of people like us

It's true, I confess, I used to make fun of these tacky, blue, white and grey above ground pools...but not anymore, we joined the ranks and put one up in the back yard.  And let me just say, I get it!  Above ground pools are just an attempt for Georgia mamas to stay cool, keep their children entertained and not go stir crazy trying to save gas money by staying home all summer!!  So now we are able to enjoy our own little redneck riviera!

 Once the pool was filled, Walker was terrified to get in and screamed for dear life, but after about 2 weeks, he realized it wasn't so bad and now he screams when it's time to get out.

 Marlee likes the edge of the pool best.  She has been in a few times but mostly likes to be held...not surprised at all!

 We are working on swimming, I've never taught a child to swim before, so we are just winging it. Maybe by the end of the summer, he will have it down!
