Ring around the rosie, Monkey Butts & Sunshine

On Sunday, after church, the girls were so excited to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. They didn't even attempt to get out of their Sunday clothes. They went right out to the Tramp. It was fun to watch them (while making lunch).Gracie is defiantly the leader of the group. She is playing a game of follow the leader...she always seems to be the leader.
And Lilly was trying to follow along and jump at the same time.
Kunka following the "leader". This is the first year that Emily has been able to hold her own on the tramp with out crying (thank heavens) The older girls are really good with her and try not to bounce too high.Her favorite thing to do is to sing and jump at the same time. Here she is singing ABC's.
The thing they all love to play is Ring-Around-the-Rosie.
(love that trampoline hair)
A pocket full of Posies
Ashes (check out Kunkas mouth saying ashes) Ashes
We all fall down.
I love this picture of the three of them.
Sometimes its hard to get them to sit still long enough to get them to take a picture together.
I especially love Kunka face.

After playing out side they ate some lunch and got out of their Sunday dresses and it was nap time for Emily. Now, as some of you know, Emily got a huge monkey for Christmas. She sleeps with this thing. It's her best friend. If it's not in her bed at night she cries for it. Well, I thought, since it was so nice out side I would take "monk" and wash him up while Em napped. The smell of overflowed diapers and dripped milk is not a nice smell in the warmth of spring. So, when I felt the coast was clear and Emily was a sleep, I took this huge monkey and gave him a bath. Now, when you take a 10 pound monkey and submerge him in water..he becomes (very quickly) and 50 pound monkey. WOW!! Where do you hang a 50 lb soaking wet monkey to dry??? Well, the swing set is a good place. So....That is where he went to dry. Monkey Ars in the air and everything. About 1 later I hear this sobbing coming from Kunkas room. SOBBING..Horrible sobbing. I opened the door to find Kunka curled up in a little ball in the place where Monkey once laid. I whispered, "Kunka? Are you ok?" She looked up and her eyes were red and her nose snotty. All she could say was, "Monk?" And then she started to cry again. It was heart breaking. Like her best friend just died. So sad.
So I told her to go look for Monk outside. Here she is when she first saw Monk hanging on the swing set.
This is her telling me she found him.
She was so happy that he was here.
She had to hug someone. So she hugged the dog.
I love this picture...Clyde is her next best friend and so who better to be happy with but Clyde.
Yeah he looks really excited.This picture looks like Clyde has a wig on with a bow.
(focus on his eye and you can see the optical illusion)

I love Sundays after church. It's a time for me to enjoy each one of my girls so differently.
