i was lucky enough to be able to pick jackson up from school today and bring him back to our house for lunch and playtime. it was such a warm day, so we headed outdoors for some good old fun. i taught jackson how to play bocce ball (and let him win :), and then we all threw the frisbee around. i decided it would be fun to throw the frisbee and have jackson and gavin race for it. and it was fun. i loved watching jackson and gavin running as fast as they could and wrestling each other for the frisbee. brooke got in on the action by throwing the frisbee a couple of times, but mostly she stood next to me and watched the crazy boys :) after nap and quiet time, megan came over with chase and joey, and we all played together outside. megan, jackson, joey, gavin and i played soccer while brooke pretended to be the "coach" and kept track of how many times we kicked the ball on her pink clip board. if this was a movie, i'm pretty sure you could call this foreshadowing :) the kids also had fun "exploring" and finding sticks and worms and pine cones around the yard. after a runaway soccer ball almost landed in the little stream at the bottom of our hill, all the kids became very interested in what might be in the "pond." it's hard to put into words how much i enjoy seeing brooke, jackson, joey and gavin together. they are at such a great age for playing together, and they all love each other so much. i really couldn't ask for anything more.
