Quarantine week 19: Ruby's half birthday

 For the week of 7/21-7/27

We had Ruby's half birthday this week! And we all just had lots of fun together. The kids had their first play date with friends in about 4 months, which was very fun. They do interact with the neighbor girls in the back yard, but we try to stay on our own sides. They're mostly good about it, except for Miles. We can't leave him out there unattended ever. He is sure a busy 3-year-old to say the least! He has been mostly potty trained for a while now. He still does have accidents, but as long as we remember to take him potty, he's good. He has even gone to the potty a few times on his own!! Woohoo!
Andy had an old Lego set still in the box that he gave to the kids, and they put it together themselves. Super cute.
Brothers. <3
They love to build shelters in the back yard. 
Ruby wanted lemon poppy seed cupcakes with blackberry frosting! The blackberries were still a bit sour, but they turned out really good anyway. We shared with all of the neighbors.
Happy 8 1/2 birthday, Peach! She is just getting so big.
He put on my apron and painted the play house with water. He's always thinking of the next thing to do, that's for sure.
All zipped up with Mommy.
Goof ball!
The kids and I all went out to pick some blackberries! It was great, because Miles was so busy picking and eating, that he didn't run away.
But Reid got distracted...
And picked this beautiful little bouquet for me. <3 He is so sweet.
He built this big Duplo machine.
Miles went out into our side yard, and I saw him just sitting on this little thing for quite a while. I went over to see what he was doing, and he was just staring at some ants crawling around. So we sat there together and watched them for a long time! He liked when they crawled on his hands, and he tried to feed them some food.
He loves to climb trees.
We had our little play date over by the cemetery with two of our neighbor kids. They're the same ages as Ruby and Reid.
Reid and Caleb are best friends, and just had so much fun playing for about an hour and a half.
He lost his other front tooth! It was right at bed time, and we put the kids all to bed. Then Reid ran out and said he turned his tooth sideways, and it just came out! He was so excited after that he had a hard time going to sleep.
Lunch time snuggles in Reid's Blue Blanket.
We got our first zucchini!
Dana invited us over to play in her back yard. The kids have so much fun.
And little Gerald is just so sweet. We love him!
Ruby and Reid decided to spend some of their money ($6 each) on this little video game set. It's very retro/simple and cute.
We usually watch a few shows in the afternoons, and they decided to all snuggle up for it.
