Afternoons Afterschool

Since we aren't sleeping until 3:30 of 4:00 around here anymore, I gotta come up with things to do in the afternoons around here!  We've been playing outside on all of our MANY outdoor toys (LOVE IT!), but we're going to want to get out and enjoy the weather as it cools off!

Until then, we're happy in our nice, shaded driveway!

I don't know if you watched the video I posted yesterday afternoon.  (Literally posted from the driveway - love smartphones!)  But Rhodes is brilliant! ;-)

He crawled over to this riding toy, practically got up on it himself (just a little help) and then took off.  Just like that.  Just like he's been doing it all his life.  Well, I guess in a way he  has...I think he's been riding them since he was 4 months old with Olivia.

Y'all it was SO funny!  He just looks too stinkin' little to be doing anything of that nature.  But he loved it!  And was so proud of himself!  Bouncing up and down on it!

Then he got upgraded to the 4-wheeler!  Dare I mention we got this off the side of the road and fixed it...for FREE!!!!  Yeah...love the hubby's handiness!  It's SUPER FAST!  The kids love it!

Olivia has a thing where she gets Rhodes to push the pedal and she steers it!  Pretty sweet!  AND it keeps him completely entertained.

Tough Landon.  I don't know what he's doing right now...but he feels so cool on this toy!

He was demoted to the popper.  Same popper that Olivia had!

And this crazy girl took off on the barbie jeep!

I was trying to take pictures and she started to go off on one of her little facial expression extravaganza!  We all know how many she has!  Here are a few more!

So other than parks and libraries, what fun things do you do in the afternoons with your kiddos that's FREE! :-)  (And we're starting baseball soon and I'm sure that will eat into a few afternoons a week!)
