Racing Toys

The kids love to race down our little back hill. We have a little toy school bus that they also love to zoom down the hill. We were on our way to a big Consignment Sale here last week and we made a quick stop at Goodwill where Ethan spotted this Firetruck. For two fifty, I thought it'd be great!! Now they could each ride one and race down the hill!! Then we headed over to the annual consignment sale where we found a princess car for three bucks. We went ahead and splurged. We figured it'd be nice to have an extra around for when friends are visiting.
When we got home they raced down the hill probably a hundred times while I was right inside the door preparing dinner. I came out to snap a few pics of them about to race again:
...when they saw me and had to pose:

Trying to hug while on their new cars:

As much as I loved watching them try to look sweet for a picture:

I did ask them if they could get the race started:

and they did...

Good times.

The two

Playing in the recycling pile, they were making a train ("chain" as Ethan says):
Huuuuuug (this is how they always say it):

Well, I'm glad she's laughing:

So happy:

Dancing:

I told Madeline I wanted to get a picture of her with the puppet show thingy that she put on. Madeline stood up to show me and Ethan ran right up next to her and started "cheesing"

'Bout to go Strawberry picking:

Waiting for Madeline's friend to arrive:
