A Woogie Kind of Morning

We typically start off playing in the house which includes pushing the shopping cart, riding their trucks, playing with balls, etc. I thought it was so cute to see that Luke had placed Clifford (the big red dog) in the shopping cart exactly where he rides. Who says they don't learn by example...

After that, we often head outside to swim, jump on the trampoline, slide and swing on the swing set, dig in the sand or dirt, play golf, and so on. The past several weeks, we also have watching next-door-back-yard-reconstruction. They are building a retaining wall and making two level surfaces instead of having such a big slope in the yard. We've seen lots of dirt work, skid steers, cement mixing trucks, dumps trucks, forms placed for the retaining wall, rebar placed, etc. They are both so interested and love it! This is Luke's spot. He loves saying 'watch' and couldn't say it more clear. I am amazed how fast his vocabulary is growing and how clearly he talks. He is a smart one like his Daddy and brother!!!

Sometimes we have different creatures visit us too...given that our backyard backs up to forest. This morning we had a ferret tromp around our yard. The boys loved watching it sniff around looking for food. It even played with their balls like a cat. Here it is peeking up at us.

 And of course, the ferret was thirsty and found our pool. We went inside at this point because I didn't want the boys touching it or getting near it...who knows what disease it could carry!

 We also saw the normal hummingbird that enjoys the homemade nectar (don't be too impressed, it is just sugar and water) we made. They kept coming back this morning and we had two hummingbirds hover over and over by the feeder.

 We also enjoy snack time. Luke is my veggie eater. He ate some homemade kale chips! I still can't believe God produced a veggie eater from us!

 Noah will not eat veggies and has recently stopped eating corn which was the only veggie he would eat. Noah ate homemade double chocolate chip muffins. :)

A morning at the Woogie house :)
