Firetrucks - Family Adventure Day

Home Depot had a special project for little kids on Saturday. It was "build a firetruck" day. Since it was free, we decided to try it out with some friends. All in all, it was pretty successful. My only complaint was that I didn't realize we were going to paint and I dressed the kids in new clothes. You live and learn, I guess. Yay for Oxyclean!

Daddy and the kids at Home Depot

Daddy getting the boys started with the paint

Daddy showing Simon how to carefully paint....LOL!

Solomon got right into it!

Our friends, Steffanimarie and Ryderotis, making their firetruck.

ROBOTS

Beep, Beep, Boo, Boop, Beep, Beep...We are the Ellingson Robots. Beep. Beep. Beeeeeeeeepppppp!

The boys stopping for 1 second so I can take their picture....I love that they're holding hands. Awwwww!!

Isla said the Robots needed some lipstick. Solomon was fine with the idea but as you can see,  Simon wasn't!!

Practicing our ABC's

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.... Solomon and Simon are practicing their ABC's and doing a fine job!!

Solomon concentrating on matching up his letters with their shapes. He's a ROCKSTAR!

Simon trying out a new set of letters. WAY TO GO!

Cousin Bath Time

Scrub a dub, dub...lots of babies in the tub!!! Tucker is enjoying his first bath with my three. As you can see, it was pure delight from each of the kiddos. We couldn't get them out!!

We Love Visitors

We love visitors! My cousin, Steve, and his wife Amy came all the way from Seattle to visit us for an extended weekend. We had a blast catching up with each other. It was their first time meeting the kids too. As you can see in the pictures below, the kids didn't have any problems warming up to them.

We even had a special treat with Chris, Jamie, and Tucker coming to spend a portion of the weekend with us. It was a great family weekend filled with yummy food and fellowship. Here are some pictures:
