When It's Sunny...

We get to wash the car!

Friday was gorgeous, so out came the buckets and towels and we all helped wash the car. I am not the cleanest person in the car, and our poor little sedan gets packed to the brim very quickly from my bag, the diaper bag, the car seats, emergency kit, and 4 warm bodies. Out came the cookie crumbs, fruit snacks, and other unidentifiable leavings from the back seat.

AnnaMae and Luke were having a great time. Both were a big help, and Luke didn't even soak daddy with the hose when it was his turn to use it. Then they got to play inside the car while we were finishing up. Here they are working so nicely together. Now if only they would work together like this all the time!

Luke does play nicely with AM most of the time, but he still has a lot of jealousy and really doesn't like it when Daddy gives AM attention during the day. He thinks he should get all the attention of his best friend, Dad. Too bad Luke never seems to look at the camera or else I'd have more nice shots of him.

AnnaMae loves her little hats. I get these at the Dollar Tree and she loves wearing them around, looking pretty. When she was a baby you couldn't keep a hat on her for 3 sec. now she'll run around all day with her hat on, or grab any other hat she can find. I think she knows just how cute she is and how much everyone adores her. I like how the sun shines through her little blonde curls in this photo.

Someone in the family needed to be cute, and AnnaMae got the job. What a charmer!


Here she is helping daddy wash the rear of the car. I just liked the angle of this photo. They really worked hard. I worked hard too, but since I had the camera and we didn't want it to get wet there aren't any photos proving that I actually washed the car. Maybe next time...

Sunday, Brian and Luke went up and hiked the Butte. Then Brian took Luke on a tour of his old elementary school, Edgewood, out in South Eugene. Brian also taught Luke to drive while he was there. This was without my knowledge, since AM and I stayed home and enjoyed a relaxing Sunday evening.

Today we went swimming at the wave pool again. It was great! Luke finally got over his fear of the slide and kept demanding that Daddy take him down. AnnaMae kept running out into the waves and trying to climb on inner tubes. She was squealing each time she went down the slide she was so excited. She didn't get to go down too many times because she has n0 patience for a long line and won't hold still so it's hard to make her wait for her turn.
