Playing at Home

Since coming back from vacation we have played a lot at home or indoors. We had lots of laundry, cleaning, and everything else to catch up on. Plus, it was so humid, I could not even stand it! Literally, Reed was sweating after just being outside for 5 minutes. Humidity = lots of bugs = unhappy me = staying inside!

We made several trips to the library, a new favorite spot of ours. Reed loves to see all the books, and sometimes he even gets to choose a Thomas movie (you know, the train). We finished the library's summer reading program really fast (Reed had to have 15 books read to him)and went to get the coupon book. Reed got to put his name on a fish and stick it in the 'ocean' as well. Good times.

We played a lot of fun games. Eve's favorite is scooting all over the floor! You put something in front of her, and if she wants it bad enough, she does this army crawl/swimming thing to get to the toy. So cute! Video to come :)

We built forts which is a favorite of Reed's. He was really excited because we built the fort and then read our library books in the fort! He even let Eve join us (what a nice brother).

Reed also enjoyed sweeping our little porch. No pictures of that....I will have to snap a few someday. He is a good helper, especially when it is his idea!

Reed was so nice and let Eve play in our fort.

The kiddos

Reed even shared his fun toy that he got from his cousin, Sasha!


One of Eve's favorite toys - Reed took this picture. He was o proud of himself.

Another of Eve's favorite things - sucking on tags! I remember Reed doing that as well. It must be a baby thing.

Reed being a ham :)


Eve was acting a little uninterested at the beginning of the video, but she does end up showing her crawling skills!

I think I would stay inside too if it was that humid. I can't stand it when it's hot.
But I love how they play together. I think it is just the best when siblings get along.
