Happy Friday!

Friday was an action-packed day!  I love not working Fridays . . . this flex time thing is super!  We began our morning at the library.  Linc grabbed a couple of Franklin books and Berenstain Bear books right away.  I don't even show him where they are anymore because he remembers where his favorites are stacked!  Beau sat down with a book right away, while Lincoln perused the shelves for anything else that might interest him. 

 I'm glad we were early and the only ones at the library this morning.  Let's just say we weren't quiet, even though we discussed being quiet in the library all the way there.  These boys were tearing it up!  Lincoln finally settled down with a book while Beau continued his beasting. 

The park was next on our list on this wonderfully nice fall day.  Nana met us there, and we had so much fun playing.  We had the park all to ourselves for most of the morning.  Lincoln is a master climber and slider, and Beau is determined to keep up.  He surprised Nana with his counting skills . . . he was counting up to eight on the steps!!!!  We worked up an appetite after all of that playing, so we had a picnic.  Lincoln was very specific about what could be included in our picnic when we were preparing the bag this morning.  He said we needed to have ham sandwiches, a jelly sandwich (for him), Cheetos, apple slices and chocolate chip cookies.  I was able to meet all of his demands!  Until he told me on the way that in the Biscuit books they take a cake on their picnic, but I informed him we were not stopping for cake!!  Yummy picnic!  We'll have to do this again soon!

Once we finished our picnic, we headed back to the steps and slides.  All smiles!!!

Beau discovered a fun swing that looks like some kind of throne.  He loved it!  Actually he loved all of the different swings, and we all took turns pushing him.

This weather is absolutely perfect to be outside.  We suffered through a seriously hot summer that was made worse by the threat of West Nile Virus, so we are happy to be outside.  What a happy Friday!
