Fun with the boys

Griswold had a very fun morning today! andrew & owen crawford were over (ages 7 & 5) & gris just had a ball with them. he didn't even make one of them cry once! they played fetch with him with sticks, pretzel sticks, & griz's "cheese ball" which is a ball that has semi-circle dents that apparently looks like cheese to kids...they even got griswold to climb up the swingset we just put up for addy (& also for griz now). owen kept asking, 'why does griswold follow me everywhere i go?' & i would reply 'b/c he loves you' & owen would just smile & laugh & walk somewhere just to see if griz would follow him (he did). so now, griswold is snoozing away & looks very very very tired. thanks andrew & owen for tiring out our dog!
addy also had a hoot with the boys. they made human tunnels over her slide, so she was sliding through their legs as they stood on the sides of the slide...addy loved it. most of the time, she just sat watching them play & seemed to be taking very close mental notes on how to swing as high as they did. they even helped to teach her how to climb up the slide (we knew it was only a matter of time).
i had a great time this morning! with older kids around, addy is entertained by them entertaining themselves! it was amazing! i had all this free time to myself...so some weeds were pulled, sticks were picked up...i am going to look for pics of andrew & owen, not sure if we have any up to date ones to post. but they're a lot of fun & are great kids. thanks for hanging out fellas!
