Thumper

Awhile back, Xander told Scott that he wanted a train named Thumper.  There is no train named Thumper in the Thomas series, so Scott promised Xander that he would build one for him.  While the boys and I were in Little Rock, Scott built Thumper.  Xander was so excited to come home and be able to paint Thumper.  

                                   

Chuck E Cheese Day

This morning's adventure was going to Chuck e Cheese to let the kiddos play.  The trick to this is to be there when they open and then there aren't any other kids there and things are clean (or at least should be).

Addison riding the horse.  She loves horses!

Xander is playing the Frog game and thinking mama is silly!

Xavier is watching Xander.  Yes, I spiked his hair that day.

Today, Amber and I took the kids to the indoor play area at The Church at Rock Creek.  Scott went home on Monday to get some things done around the house.  The boys and I stayed in Little Rock because Uncle George was coming for a visit.
The kids all liked the play area by the end of the time we were there.  Pendley was a little apprehensive at first but she was going all around it by the time we left.  Xavier played in the little area for his age and had fun too.

Third time is a charm! Birthday Party Number Three!

We went to Little Rock to celebrate Xander and Xavier's birthdays with family there.  It worked out that we were able to also watch Audrey that weekend!  On Saturday, we took the kids to the new Splash Park over by the zoo.  They had a great time...well everyone but Xavier who got hit by the water in the face a couple times.

Xander ready to go get wet!

The girls!  Addison, Audrey and Pendley.
