two weeks in a row.. how many weeks does it take to form a habit?

 Ellis and her helmet, This week we have been oh so busy. Between soccer, homework, and piano we managed to order some helmets for the girls so we could go on a bike ride. Our bike rides entail me with Ellie on the back, Pulling Decker and Carter and the girls riding their own bike. We go for about 15 min and I'm done. usually so are the girls because its so hot and humid. Ellie has on Jordan's helmet in the picture but she LOVES bike rides, and she Hates clothes, so yes, she is naked in this picture, but super cute.

Jordan playing soccer. She is on a team of all boys and has to fight to get ball time. she has yet to score a goal but we've bribed her with ice cream so we expect it any day. Kailey scored her first goal last Friday and was so excited. She runs up and down the field with a HUGE smile on her face like on Christmas morning, no joke. the kid smiles huge while playing i love it. Carter yells and cheers for his sisters its almost embarrassing but its too funny. Ellie tries to cup her hand to yell, she seems me do it, but end up covering her mouth instead. I should get it on camera. These girls have a lot of fans on the sideline. Decker is usually crying seeing as he should be in bed for the night but we make him come. Hes not quite old enough to be left alone. but he is a perfect baby 94.5% of the time so hes got to act out sometime.

 Shaun and I went kayaking in the ocean last sat. it was a adventure... very windy and that makes for some tricky kayaking!

 Decker giving me a grouchy look because his food was all gone and the spoon wasn't cutting it.

When it rains it pour! It rained a few weeks back and flooded the neighborhood one night, this was during the day when they all played in the rain (note: Ellie still naked)

Carter is big on sunglasses. don't mind that these are Jordan's and are all jeweled out. He rocks it. at least they kept the sun out of his eyes

 Each week seems to be as busy as the next. Shaun has been working like a madman, but i think he likes it because he is actually working. I am teaching piano one day a week and this weekend we are on project "make fun backyard"- making a zip line and tether-ball (its all the rage in 3rd grade here)  AND aunt Jessie and Lexy come tonight! we can't wait!
