It is summer and it is hot! We pulled out the sand and water table this week to help us beat the heat! Right now there is only water in it so that was even more fun. The kids like to float ducks and boats in it but mostly they like to splash!

Father's Day in Door County
We had a wonderful Father's Day today. It started way too early but the kids were excited to give Jason his presents. The kids and I made Jason some special art with their hand prints that had a baseball theme. Since he is not nearly as sentimental as I am, that gift also came with a new baseball game for the Wii (much more up his alley than hand print art!).
After presents, we decided to spend the day in Door County. We grabbed the kids swim stuff and packed into the van. It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day. They loved playing at the the beach and swimming in the water.
C was a little hesitant about the water and sand but she got used to it. M was also a little scared of the fish that might be lurking and was hesitant to go out in the water but A was an awesome big brother and helped them out.
Little W just chilled out in the stroller staying nice and cool in the shade. She is such a trooper. We did not hear a single complaint out of her as her schedule was totally disrupted. She just napped and smiled all day.
After swimming, we were ready for ice cream. A quick change and a little walk through Fish Creek took us to the ice cream shop! Everyone enjoyed their ice cream before we headed home. YUM!

Mama's Helper
Little C can't get enough of "her" baby. She loves to help. Whenever I am nursing, she immediately goes to the cupboard to get me a burp rag. She tries to hold the baby, rock the baby, kiss the baby, wipe the baby, change her diaper - you name it, she's tried it! Fortunately the gentle hands are becoming more and more frequent and there is less trauma to poor W in the process! Let's hope this sisterly love continues for their whole lives! 
Thumb anyone?
Looks like we have another thumb sucker. It is not so good for the teeth but sure is cute. And, it is probably the reason she has slept for 12 hours straight the last few nights! I cannot complain about that - besides, our kids will probably all need braces anyway!

Weekend Fun
Last weekend we enjoyed the beautiful weather with a hike in the nearby State Park. The weather was great and the kids had a fun time just running around. We could not enjoy all the trails because it is hard to push a double stroller through them. But, we enjoyed a few paved portions and the sun. A and M really enjoyed the lookout tower. You could almost see our house across the lake - or so they thought. They also had a grand time running through fields. They could not believe how tall the grass was - up to their waists at some places. Really, it was just a big field of dandelions but they thought it was an amazing place to play!
