Friends.

Our kids have really GOOD friends. Good friends as in, if they could adopt them as siblings, it would be done in a heartbeat. faster if possible. They Seriously LOVE their friends! And nothing gets them more excited than spending the whole day playing with those much loved friends. the whole day.

We have a small house. and an even smaller yard. so on days when we're 'trapped' at home (because chad has to go to young mens camp) and I have 5 kids all trying to play in the same small space these are some of the things we do to keep occupied and happy.........

luckily there was a bit of 'dad' time before he left to help the kids burn off some of their excited energy.....



the favoured activity.......Wrestling on the tramp





moving on to indoor play......mosiacs anyone......this was the 'little boys' activity.



and we did lots of this!



and made pokemon trains........



used these some more......



and played a whole lot of this.



and here is a pic of the four little friends (painful to take btw - they tried to put their heads together. really they tried. :) this was best we could manage - at least they're having fun).



We love having such great friends!
