new clothes

At the end of the day when parents come to pick up their children i quite often hear the comment " you changed your clothes"  this should help explain why.....

bubbles

My favorite part about a rainy day (other than jumping in puddles or going on a hike) is playing with bubbles! Rainy days are best for bubbles because when the bubbles land on the ground they don't pop right away.... and if you have a slight wind blowing then you could cover the entire backyard within minutes!

                                                   

Hammer helpers

This week when i brought out my hammer to fix a loose fence board the kids all wanted a turn to "help".  That helping reminded me of an idea that I saw at strong start once. I gathered the "kids hammers" a handful of golf tees and a block of styrofoam from the neighbor.... such a simple idea... and they played "hammering" until the styrofoam piece was filled with holes!

Baby Bennet

How can ya not love a face like that!

Maryn has said on occasion that Baby Bennett does no take good photos.....

Hmmmmmm... i think she is wrong!

And this is why it is so hard to have a serious conversation when that face looks at me !

Mateo is 5!

Happy Birthday Mateo!

Thanks for letting us have cupcakes instead of broccoli for snack today!

I'm so glad you like your gift!
