An Afternoon at the Park/Front Yard

Henry relaxing/resting on the triple slide at our park. He couldn't decide if he was too tired to play or not.
Emma was a socialite when we were at the park. She jumped right in and introduced herself to the other girls and had a great time!
We headed back home and the kids played with their dump trucks in our empty flower bed. Henry was Mr. Independent and went and got his gardening gear.
Look at how tall our boy is getting.
Riding on the not working play Harley with his sister.
Mr.Cool:) The boy does not like sunshine in his eyes and face and will avoid it at all costs.
His face is changing from a little toddler face to a little boy face.
For you Mom(Nana)-look at that face! Remind you of anyone?! She IS almost an exact copy of me in this picture when I was little!
I think she's got her tongue sticking out a bit to the side-it's a Martin family trait type thing:)

It was a really beautiful day yesterday so the kids and I spent most of it outside. We went out with one of my girl friends and did a little shopping and had lunch out. Then returned home and decided to go down to the park. We were outside for the rest of the afternoon until dinner time. They didn't want to come inside, but the temp was starting to drop a little and it was getting windy, so I pulled them in. I'm glad we made it out yesterday because we are in for some gloomy, cold, wet weather for the next week or so. So we'll be limited to indoor activities for the most part.

***Side Note***

Before my friend left, we were talking about what we were going to do that afternoon and I mentioned going to the park. Both kids automatically got excited and asked when we were going to leave. I told them once my girlfriend left that we could go. Little Miss Emma walks over and asks in a sweet voice and very politely, "Can you please leave so that we can go to the park?"

When I told her that that wasn't very nice to say, she said, "but Mommy I said please!"

Too funny:)
