Energy!

Since it hasn't been the best weather for playing outdoors, I've been trying to find ways for the kids to get out some energy indoors. These couches belong to our landlord, so I try to limit how much they get tossed around, stepped on and roughed up. They said they will be getting rid of them, so not to worry about it, but I do anyway. Except today! We set up a bouncing path...the kids all liked it and I don't think any of them weigh enough to pop any seams, so I think we're ok! : )



Caleb, especially, loved going across the cushions! He would often get stuck just laying on them, which the other two were really gracious about.

Caleb & Elijah both had "pajama" days today. We weren't going anywhere, so I just never got around to changing their clothes. Caleb tends to spend more time napping than awake anyway, so he might as well just stay in his pajamas! : ) About 5:30 though, Elijah came in the kitchen declaring himself, "Super Grover!!"

Sorry for the "yellow" appearance of the picture. I didn't get the flash turned on in time. I did get another picture after this, but his expression wasn't the original "Look Mom, I'm Super Grover!!" look! Um, yes, those are Abigail's glittery flip-flops. Earlier, he had on one of her necklaces and a clip-on earring! Oh-the-joys of having an older sister!! : ) He really does have his own boy dress-up stuff!

Abigail got a Barbie movie of the Three Musketeers for Christmas. The kids have watched that a couple times recently and love to play "Musketeers" during the movie and after...and right when they get up in the morning, and all through-out the day! Poor Caleb though, always ends up being the "bad guy" that they're trying to defeat! They run back and forth through the house, Caleb following after, trying to catch up only to have them run again, often knocking him down in the chase! I keep trying to convince them that he's the "third" Musketeer, but I guess every good story has to have a bad guy! One day...he'll be big enough to join their ranks! So may I introduce ... the Woodard Musketeers!!

In the movie, "Corynn" goes to Paris...well, the other day, Elijah said, "We have to get ready, Abby and me are going to Pear!" ..."Where?!" "Parasol!" "Do you mean, Paris?" I asked..."oh yes, Paris!" They've been running around saying, "En garde!" ...it's so cute!
