Garrett got his much needed summer cut today. He loves his mo hawk!
Mom and dad drove down to pick up dad's new truck today. The kids have been really excited about it and took advantage of playing in it as soon as it was parked in the driveway. They also couldn't wait for a ride in the back. Dad took them the short distance from the driveway to the side yard so they could wash it. Tons of fun had by all, even Indy joined the fun in the back of the truck.
The girls hangin' out in the back of the truck. Olivia made this face on purpose, she's so mean!
Then she stood up and said, "Here mom, I'll pose now." She doesn't disappoint, does she?
Gid loved the back of the truck too. He really liked it when I got in the cab and made silly faces at him though the window.
The best shot of all four.
When dad moved the truck, Gideon opted to ride in the cab with P-Pop.
They had lots of fun washing the car. Their personalities were really evident too. Olivia was all about finishing the task, quickly but perfectly. Garrett was all over the truck washing small sections and constantly re-soaking his rag. Esther was really thorough, focusing on one spot until she thought it was clean enough to move on. She got stuck on the rear bumper where there is some rust. She continually came back over and over to try to get the spot out!
I think this is the only washing he did. He was more interested in getting close enough to the hose to touch the stream of water and get himself wet.
I'm loving having our Sunday's to ourselves. There have been things I miss about being a pastor's family, but for the most part, Sunday is more relaxing, less stressful, and actually feels like a real weekend, having two days off in a row! And man, do I LOVE having Josh home to help get everyone ready for church, drink our coffee together, and ride as a family to church. A refreshing change from the last five years in church work.
