A nice afternoon

We had a rather nice Sunday afternoon. We had the afternoon and evening together because Ez doesn't have to work any more Sundays on his new shift--hooray!

The kids had their typical wrestling matches with dad, we ate some dinner, had some reading time, and played a game of Monopoly Junior. I love that game because it is so much easier--less time and strategy are involved, and therefore less tears! Lily and I lost--we ran out of money first because the only people that would land on our properties were us--the nerve. Although Alexis owned more property, David ended the game with more cash by $4! Game well played, I would say.

Alexis, who is famous for making her delicious homemade brownies offered to do just thta, but since it was so hot inside and out, we all agreed upon yummy, cold ice cream!


Typical Joe--at least he stays dressed through church!


Lily reading Dick and Jane--she is our earliest reader!


Trying to ignore mom...


Enjoying some Harry Potter


My boys aren't looking too thrilled here--they needed more properties, and fast!
