More Cousin Time

Laura and I are trading off watching the kids one day a week so the other person can get some projects done around the house. So far we've each done it once and it's amazing how much I can get done without watching a toddler around the house! These pictures are from the day I watched Elizabeth and Ben for Laura. We had a fun time. I tried to plan at least one or two fun things because I knew I'd be watching them for the whole day.





Here's a pic of them playing with color ice blocks. Just frozen water with food coloring! They thought it was so fun. However, I did not think about the fact that the coloring could dye their clothes or skin, so I quick had to strip them down when I noticed my hands turning colors. Luckily after playing in the water all morning they did have any stains on their skin.







Here they are at lunchtime. I had the boys sitting on one side and Elizabeth sitting on the other. I went in to get some food and came back out and Elizabeth had convinced both boys to come over and sit on her side. They sat that way side by side, squished together, for the entire lunch! Isn't that cute?

This is from a different day I think but I just thought it was cute of him in his pool.
