Mama's little helpers!

Today I brought some of the kids toys outside and let them wash them-up in soapy water. Walter excitedly said "we helping Mama." He just loves to be our little helper. Then some water dripped down the driveway and he said "look a river in our driveway." When he was all done cleaning his toys he said "lets clean the driveway now" and had fun dumping it out. After that the kids each picked out a few toys they washed and played with them for the rest of the day. Walter has been all into his fourth of July candy and is considering it a big treat since he has only been getting a few a day, anyway it was funny because the other day he was eating a piece and said "I pinching the candy with mine teeth." Little character! Oh and lately when he goes on the Ranger he will want to see mining buildings but then when he sees them he says he does a "funny eye thing" (he looks down) so when I asked him why he said "I scared" I said what are you scared of he said "they looking at me." We keep explaining to him that they aren't alive but he is convinced that they can see him and now tonight when we walked to storyhour their is a big chimney type smokestack and he said the same thing. Little goof. We have noticed that sometimes in public too if he doesn't feel like talking to someone he will just close his eyes. Rose E is really picking-up on the signs lately. Yesterday during our walk when we got to the park she asked if she could go on the swing. Then today Jeff gave her her first little Ranger ride (he went really slow and just went for a short distance) anyway at one point we went over some bumpy rocks and she made-up a sign for bumpy. Then this evening she kept signing it, she must have really gotten a kick out of it.
