We have gotten into a routine of taking the kids out for exercise at least once a week.  Today we all agreed to play basketball and tennis.  While Stuart and Logan started with basketball, Connor rode his bike around the school and I fast walked with him.  Connor rode quite well without much help from me, and he liked to lead too.  Logan was excited to do one-on-one basketball with Daddy after he learned about the term.  Logan did well according to Stuart and he did not really want to stop to move onto tennis.  After riding, Connor and I moved onto tennis as well.  We played with the boys for a little, then when they had their snack, Stuart and I played for a bit too.

     This afternoon we spent lots of time in the yard.  Stuart cleaned up some dead plants while I replaced them with the new ones we purchased.  Connor really wanted to help, so he was in charge of watering.  Logan was the one who picked the yellow annuals for the front, so he paid attention to them when I planted them.  While we worked, Logan and Connor played on their own.  Logan has become quite efficient walking around on the little slope in our backyard.  We also put Logan in charge to help Connor when they were up there; it was cute to see Logan holding Connor’s hand through the steeper parts.  We continued to stay out there until we finished barbequing and were ready to go inside to eat.  We all were exhausted from being on our feet all day.
