Saturday iPhone Photo Dump

Our week in iphone pictures!!

Karys tried out the baby swing for the first time!

As you can see - she loved it!  The kids thought that it was pretty special to have her swinging with them. :)

I saw the famous banana car this week in downtown Kalamazoo.  I didn't have any of the kids with me (it was Tuesday afternoon) so I had to take a picture of it to show to them.  They all thought it was pretty cool - a lot like a car they see in one of their Richard Scarry books!

On Wednesday, I came down with a cold along with the rest of the kids.  All 5 of us!  It was a beautiful day, too beautiful for my Mom to waste, so she came and picked up Samuel and went apple picking with him at Gull Meadow Farms.  I didn't feel well enough to take the girls along too so we just stayed at home.  The apples that they picked are delicious!  Samuel loves his special "grandma time"

Grandma and Samuel stopped at Burger King on the way home to get some ice cream!  It was a warm day and it was a little hot picking apples (close to 80) so ice cream sounded good to both of them!

One of our many kleenex piles. :(  We were all pretty miserable!

Taking a walk around the school on Wednesday evening.  The kids ditched their tricycles to run down the hill so Daryl decided to hop on. :)

My poor baby with a snotty nose :( - she stayed amazingly happy through it all!

Aliyah made a van out of duplos :)

On Friday, Grandma and Aunt Anna picked Aliyah up and took her to the outlet mall in Michigan City for the day.  Samuel and Hope were pretty disappointed to be left behind.  I don't think Aliyah has ever left for the day before like that.  I had a hard time letting her go!!  When I asked her if she wanted to go shopping with Grandma and Aunt Anna, she jumped up and down and shouted 'yes, yes!'  It was fun for her to have a special day out.  In the afternoon, I took Samuel and Hope and Karys downtown to the park and them to the library.  They loved running around Bronson Park. :)

Sitting on the canon in Bronson Park.  Samuel freaked out when I tried to take him to the front of the cannon to show him the cannonball inside.  He was sure that it was going to fire that cannonball right out at him!  I finally convinced him that the cannon didn't work anymore but he was hesitant for a long time. 

My drooly, finger-sucking, spiky-haired, screechy, face-grabbing, neck-hugging baby!

She discovered the mirror on her exersaucer :)

Sisters.  Aliyah still loves to hold Karys!  Karys isn't always too excited about it. 

This picture is out of order . . . sleeping on the way home from MI City when she went to the outlet mall.  Too tired to even eat the cookie in her hand!  That gives true meaning to the phrase "shop til you drop"!

Also out of order . . . . funny faces on the cannon!
