Fun Without Fuss

Here's a cute video of Jacob playing with an empty plastic container in the kitchen. He loves to raid the recycling bin with the plastic milk jugs, etc., and play with the stuff in there, see which container makes what sounds, etc. You can also hear Micah in the background, being chased by Daddy :-)

Here's Micah, enjoying the sprinkler in the front yard! We're hoping to get the grass to grow back in this one spot so we just set it up, and let Micah run through.

Sometimes it's good to remember that for kids, fun doesn't have to be complicated. A new thing, whatever it is, is enough to please them.

I am looking forward to our Corinth visit. We haven't been since Micah was 2. We've told him that it's the place he was born. He keeps asking if we're going back there so he can be born or Jacob can be born. Although I explain that this has already happened, it hasn't quite sunk it yet :-) Then he got really confused when he left the porch door opened and Dan asked if he was "born in a barn." Kids take everything literally so of course, this resulted in a bunch of questions about where he was born!
