Five to One

Saturday was a busy day for our little family. In the morning we joined our ward in participating in Clean Up Burleson. We dropped Addie off at church for some free baby sitting, and made the other 2 work. Emilie had a great time pinching my bottom with the garbage grabber tool, and picking wild flowers. Ivy "fell" in every mud puddle she found, chased butterflies, and played in poison ivy. luckily she was sufficiently covered, and never got a rash.

After the clean up was over we were off the the park for a hike with my Activity Days girls. That was such a kick. Jason came as priesthood leadership, and was such a trooper pushing the double stroller on the bumpy path. Ivy once again found the mud puddles, and Emilie had such a great time getting to know the girls better. She will be joining the group this November; I think it is good for her to see what it is like. She is so excited to be official. Really I think it was the best activity we have had yet. We gave the girls disposable cameras to use, and I can't wait to see the pictures they took.

By the time the day was over we were all ready to crash. I'm so glad we used our Saturday in such a good way, it seems like we usually waste our time. I would really like to make our Saturdays more meaningful, and spend time as a family.
