Sawyer and Sutton had SUCH a great time at Traci's house today. This afternoon they received a visit from The Busy Bus, a convereted 40' long city bus that now houses an entire tumbling center for preschoolers. This thing was seriously SO super awesome, and when I went to pick Sawyer up, he was completely exhausted from running around for a couple of hours inside this thing. He said "Mommy, bus reallllly fun and...[wiping his sweaty hair off of his forehead] realllllly toasty!" He climbed up to the top of the rock wall all by himself and then promptly announced that he needed to come home and draw a picture of himself climbing a rock wall. Actually, his drawing DOES kind of look like a rock wall, amazingly. I'm sure that since I had to pay $15 a kid for them to go on it today, it's probably too expensive to rent for his next birthday party, but it sure sounds like a cool idea. Traci said that Sutton took awhile to warm up to the idea, but once he did, he couldn't get enough of jumping on the trampoline.

Picture from the Busy Bus website just to show it's huge purple-ness...no, there weren't flags and/or wheelchairs at Traci's house today :P

We've been outside playing on our new swingset every night until it's almost dark, and the boys are definitely loving their new play structure and fort. It's getting to be a struggle to get them off of it and into the house for bath time! It will be even nicer once Sutton's bucket swing that I ordered comes in, because he LOVES to swing, but he doesn't really want to have to hang on while he's doing it, meaning that it's really only safe for him to swing on your lap right now. I have to admit that he makes me incredibly nervous when he's on the platform of the playhouse right now. It's open on too many sides, and he just doesn't really "get it" that he can just fall right off of it, so I'm constantly running from one side to the other in case I have to catch him. Despite my paranoia, the boys are having a really great time though, and we've become incredibly popular with all of the neighbor kids as well. Tonight we had Blake and Jordan from down the street over for awhile to play...it's starting to seem like I'm never going to get an evening alone outside with my family without other kids begging to come over and play. I guess we do have a pretty fun backyard though, so I should just get used to it!

Swinging will always make Sutton flash his happy smile
We've had some really pretty sunsets lately

Swing set looks awesome. Can't wait to play tomorrow. I've seen those buses on John and Kate + 8. Didn't know they had them here. Like a traveling gymnastics class. Good to know Sawyer didn't poop out right away.
