Goings on

Just some things we've been doing-

Last Saturday we went to the Faust Park Carousel for a birthday party. The kids got to ride the carousel as many times as they wanted to for 2 hours - FUN! I thought it was going to be Katherine that wanted to go over and over and over again, but to our surprise, it was Elizabeth who wanted to go over and over and over again! Considering the fact that the last time we were there on Katherine's birthay, Elizabeth screamed from the waiting area the entire time that Katherine rode, it was great that Elizabeth even got on the carousel. She loved it so much that she kept wanted to ride, so she and John rode for at least a half hour straight! Katherine rode for some of that time, but I think she got a little tired of going around in circles. They both enjoyed riding the horses that they named Indian and Pilgrim (Katherine's been learing alot about those in school lately). We even got Christopher on for one ride. FUN!

Katherine finished her soccer season last weekend, also, and got a trophy and a small soccer ball. We've been playing almost daily outside, kicking the soccer ball around. She really had a great time.

The newest thing everyone has been enjoying is playing in the kitchen with utensils while mom fixes whatever meal is appropriate at the time (lunch or dinner). Here is Elizabeth playing her violin and trumpet, respectively. Thanks to Baby Einstien "Meet the Orchestra", the girls love to pretend and know all about LOTS of different instruments - in church a couple of weeks ago, Elizabeth said "Mommy, look at the harp!" and they enjoyed listening to a young girl play.
