So here are some pictures from the last week. Brad finally found my camera!!! He was my hero and I think he even found it the day after my birthday so it was like a great birthday present. Here is Aiden playing with blocks that Mrs. Stephanie gave him for his birthday. He was busy building a castle for his cars.

Here are the boys just playing in the living room. Brad and I have had to crack down and make them play more in the playroom. They are just used to playing where we are because the living room was the play room before. It's taking a little encouraging and reminding about a playroom for them to actually stay in there and play.

Here is a picture of the boys' new bunk beds. They love them!! They are starting to get better at behaving themselves and actually sleeping but some times they have a harder time than others. Aiden sleeps on the top and Eli on the bottom.

Here is a picture of the play room. They love it and I love the rest of my house being clean. It's beautiful.

Below is the YMCA of Prattville Children's Play Area. They have free time here throughout the week. The boys love it!! They even have internet for the parents which is cool.

Below is the Children's Pool at the YMCA. You can see now why we are always checking in on Facebook that we are here. This kids pool is awesome. It's a gradual entry pool and the maximum depth if 3 feet, even with the slides. The boys are allowed to go down the slides and we are allowed to catch them at the bottom. They also have 3 lifeguards just in this pool alone. They have another pool with a diving board and bigger slides that go into deeper water just across the covered pavilion. It's pretty nice. We were going to go there and have a picnic tonight but it's raining so we are going to get the kids and go to Bass Pro Shop for a bit.

Here is Aiden kicking around the water.

Here is Eli being cute and loving the water as usual.

Here is what Eli found to be too much fun. In fact, Aiden had to try it because Eli was having such a good time doing it. Here is a series of pictures of the boys:

They were both laughing when Eli got squirted in the face with water.

The next day, I found goggles for the boys at Wal-Mart. We'll see if that encourages them to stick their head in the water.

There is a bird house in our backyard and we decided to add a bird feeder. Here are the boys putting it up and filling it up with bird seed.

The boys had fun the other day knocking down all the boxes and trying to build things. Can you find Eli stuck int he box in this picture?

We've been exploring a number of playgrounds lately and now that I have my camera, I can take pictures of them. This is especially helpful for the boys and I so they can tell me which playground they want to go to.

We went to Chick-fil-a the other night and it was Kid's Night. With the purchase of a kids meal, you got to make a shirt (so you can wear it on Friday which is Cow Appreciation Day) and then you get another free meal. Pretty cool idea. The boys had fun making their shirts. Eli wanted to do his own shirt and didn't want me to help really.

The boys started daycare yesterday. It was great for everyone. The boys had fun and Brad and I actually got some stuff done (including a workout). Here are the boys this morning before leaving for daycare. They are excited to wear their cow stuff tomorrow.

We've been having a good time getting to know Prattville. We are picking the boys up early again today to go to Bass Pro Shop for the first time. Pictures will follow. Hope you are doing well.
