2 The Hoard

Paul & Martha Tew's posterity currently consists of FOUR daughters and SEVEN granddaughters. That's right. ALL GIRLS...that is until Abby gives birth to the first BOY this fall.

Monday afternoon we spent the morning riding, scooting, and stroller-ing the girls around Maren's neighborhood. We even herded them around the block to Maren's church parking lot for more rolling around before lunch. Lets just say that they all took great naps...everyone but Kate that is. Notice the GREAT Modbe hoodies Maren and I are sporting. Ours came today and we LOVE them. If you want on, see Maren's blog (link to the right).

Kylie LOVED the bike, Eden did NOT!

I had brought Allie's scooter so that we would have enough wheels for everyone, but of course that wasn't good enough. Allie kept causing Kate stress by taking her 2-wheeler. So, to keep the peace, I ran to DI & bought Allie the $65 princes bike for $5. It wasn't in perfect shape & was missing the seat cover & training wheels, but for $5 what do you expect. (Note: We almost got her the same bike new for her birthday last month, but decided on the roller skates she had actually asked for.) However, it didn't seem like such a good deal 2 hours later, after shopping 4 stores for a 2nd set of training wheels to replace the first set I bought & tried to install, since they weren't made for such a tiny bike. In fact, I'm sad to report that the bike hasn't even been rode yet since we couldn't find the nozzle to inflate the tires with. Nothing is ever easy, but hopefully it will be worth it...eventually.

Monday was also great weather for playing in Grandma's "park".

The sandbox under the deck was popular too, but for some reason the one and only yellow plastic shovel was a hot item and much sought after.

With all the action, the girls did veg-out on the couch for some cartoons in the evening.
