Killing Time While Daddy Was Away

This week has been a crazy one. Not only was it VBS at our church, but Cory also was out of town on business all week long. What was I thinking, being 24 weeks pregnant, directing the 4yr old/Pre-K class, and man-handling all 4 kids by myself all week? I survived thanks to Becca, our trusting baby-sitter who helped with play time, dinner time, and bath time! Also had some great helpers this year in VBS...Tisha, Ashlie, Kendra, Kyla, and Ashlie two older kids, made a great team and things went SO SMOOTHLY. But you really didn't click on this post to hear all that did you? Of course not, you want to see pics of our crazy kiddos :)

Well two days this week we got out the sprinkler for the trampoline. Lizzy and Caden told Cory this would be a great idea and he caved. He so graciously reminded them about the sprinkler Tuesday AM before he left for the week, which left them begging their big, pregnant Momma to turn it on for them while he was gone! They had a blast, and we only had one minor injury! Here are the pics of them playing. Not sure if I can post many of Lizzy yet, so these are not really the best of her, but I hate leaving her out!

The three big kids taking a break from jumping just to run through the water. Carter slipped on the trampoline and ran into someone's knee and got a black eye.

They had to take turns on the trampoline so no one else would get hurt.
Cole didn't really like being in the direct line of the sprinkler, so he just spent most of his time on the tire swing and the sprinkler would hit it lightly.

Carter had a blast once he got away from the big kids for a bit! He kept running through and posing for me!

How cute is he!!!

Caden, of course, had an equally great time running through the water.

Posing while running :)

Miss Lizzy could stand in the water all day, if I would let her! She begs to do this EVERY day and even go to the water park! She LOVES it!

The two little ones taking a break from all the water and just chilling on the tire swing.

All in all a great afternoon, and most importantly...they were good and tired by bedtime!
