Play, play, play


With the arrival of the new baby, Courtney has had the opportunity to play with her cousins more than usual. Here is her cousin, Brayden, who is about 2 months younger than her. They have so much fun playing together. It is amazing to me that children are so easily entertained. They spent much of their time together chasing one another around the tent and trying to scare each other. They also chase each other around with a stroller and crash into each other. They do it for hours and seem to love every minute of it. The good news for me is that it is actually easier for me to get things done when Courtney has a playmate over. She doesn't bother me at all, but the poor kids she plays with... well, you might imagine what she does to them. Also pictured here is her with her new favorite drink. It is grape Propel fitness water, but she refers to it as,"Daddy's drink." She is also doing her crazy eyes impression. For those of you who have not experienced it in person, it is kind of disturbing. Her dad, of course, loves for her to do it and got this rare picture of it. Next time you see her, ask her to do her crazy eyes.

I just sent you an email, so you're going to get Jamie overload tonight (that's what happens when I actually get some free time!). That's the best thing ever when they actually "play" with kids when they're over instead of you baby-sitting. I'm still waiting for that to happen with Jayden...I loved the crazy eyes, what a crack up!

Crazy-Eye-Courtney. I love it. Man, Brayden suddenly looks all grown up. I can't believe how old those kids are getting!

That's a great crazy eye pic! I know all about two kids entertaining each other--and getting into trouble together, and dumping pancake mix all over my kitchen together, and hitting each other, and finally, crying together! I don't know how Christy & Bill did 5 of these boys! Maybe I'll get a cute girl like Courtney next time :)
