The Kid Life

It was a nice, sunny day and the kids decided to play out back with one of Jonathan's new toys...a Hot Wheels Car Wash stand. It was a huge hit with the locals. They were lined up bumper to bumper (by the kids) for their chance to get the best wash in town.

The next picture is at Jonathan's class party at Skate City. He is with his buddy Cade in the picture. The last few weeks Jonathan has insisted on wearing shorts to school, regardless of the weather, because he doesn't like the look of jeans. We were able to convince him to wear jeans roller skating though. His friend Cade was getting really worried about Jonathan wearing shorts and thought it was because we didn't have enough money to buy him warm clothes. Ha!

Here's a sign that Julia is growing up. This weekend, after the neighborhood garage sale, she decided that she wanted to sell all of her American Girl clothes and equipment. She netted a little over $400 from selling all of her stuff. Ridiculous. With half of the money she was able to buy the digital camera, case, and strap that she had been eying in the store and online. She was so excited to get it.  I hope she continues to learn how to use it and gets into photography.  That seems like something she would enjoy.
