Call Day #5, 7/29/13

Breakfast with Grandma on the screened in porch.  Many thanks to Mimi and Papa Jimmy for the table and chairs!  They are getting lots of use.

Erik is hoping to teach Eleanor to play trumpet.  She just got her tiny-sized trumpet yesterday so she was very eager to play it today.  There are a few rules about where she can play it so that it's not lying around the house or waking up Oliver.  Here she is in our closet playing.  

Candy Land with Grandpa and Grandma.

After we took Grandma and Grandpa to the airport, we stopped at Walmart.  The girls were eager to go because Grandma and Grandpa had given them each some money and they wanted to buy Icees.  

Excited!

On the way out of the store, still drinking, Eleanor said "It was a sad time because we had to take Grandma and Grandpa to the airport.  Now it's a happy time because we can have Icees."

This afternoon we made popsicles.  Claire pours juice into the mold.

Putting in the holders.  They were excited because they popsicles are like fancy-shaped jewel ring pops.

Oliver was happy for quite a while with a bin of toys next to him.  He'd reach over and empty them out, we'd refill, and he'd go at it again.
