Painting pottery is a fav of MK's.  She adores this task.  We were thrilled to spend an afternoon surrounded by friends celebrating adoption and raising funds needed to bring home little Chloe from China!

While MK and I were away, the boys were at play.  Unfortunately, their day came to a halt after one play - I have gotten the play-by-play and it pretty much goes like this:  the ball went one way, he went this way and C went down with his feet flying high behind his head.....in other words, it wasn't pretty.  And the result?  A very bruised growth plate????  Honestly, I am not even sure that I clearly understand what his diagnosis was but they casted him for three weeks in a nice Clemson orange cast.  He was all smiles and soaking up the attention until reality hit and he realized school still had to be done:/

MK is officially a Daisy.  

She earned her first Daisy badge and petal on Monday.  

I was thrilled that I still remembered my own Girl Scout promise and could help her learn hers.  Some things you just never forget!

And our little guy Matthew.....he has been up to quite a lot of playful antics.  TeePeeing the tree was just one dose of his "fun."  This week he was found swimming in our Barbie pool with some friends, bungee jumping, drinking syrup (one of the four main food groups!)....the children are all so excited to find out what he will do next!
