Front Porch Fun

Elise and Ian have been missing Sunday afternoons with their cousins.  So after church this Sunday, Ian went home with Charles-Allen and Emmy came home with us.  The girls had been so good to include Paige in their play, but after a while, they wanted a break.  I convinced Paige that soaking our feet on the front porch would be super fun.

This quickly turned into taking a bath in the bucket.  But she was away from the big girls and having fun.  And looking super cute.  So we went with it.

Although it only took a few minutes for the big girls to decide that this activity actually looked like more fun than what they were doing, and came and crashed our party.

Who doesn't love a spa day? 

This little girl cracks me up!  I love how funny her little tiny self looks in the bucket.  (And for any of you parent-types who think this looks dangerous, the little one was quite well supervised at all times and the buckets are not accessible to her on a daily basis.  :))

Of course, Paige also wanted to get in on the Spa party taking place at the other end of the porch, so she switched buckets on me.  (And the older girls were much more welcoming to Paige tagging along on this adventure.  Especially since she started it.)

She is seriously so cute.  I just cannot stand the cuteness!!!  It should be illegal! :)

And everyone knows you have to put lotion on your feet after you've soaked them.  What fun it is to be a girl!!

 

Merry Grace was at the spa party too, but she got wet and went in to change.  But she still peeked out the window at us while she was inside.  :)

Have I mentioned lately how much fun we have on our porch?  I think it might be my very favorite part of the house! :)
