We had a really nice day today. The
weather was beautiful and we spent most of the day outside. My
wonderful husband took care of my outdoor “honey do” list. We
got the back deck (almost) completely cleaned off, the garage
cleaned out and organized (yay!), stakes in the garden, the
slide up on the new, hand-me-down playset from our neighbor and
lots of other stuff. The kids played outside, neighbors came
and went, etc. It was great. Lex is also super helpful and
carried stuff for Alan, watered the gardens for me, and more.
We are very lucky to have such helpful, sweet, well behaved
kids. We will be ending the day with take-out from Lui Lui’s
(yummy!), ice cream and a movie :) Overall a pretty excellent
way to spend the day :)

We worked hard
all day and didn’t have the camera handy, but here are a few
that were worth hunting down the camera.

Lex with
a makeshift stool to play with the light switches. We had a
mini-rave in the garage for a few minutes.

Eve has
taken a liking to all the ride-on toys we have kicking around.
She’s at the age/stage that she can get herself going backwards
but not forwards yet, so she spent awhile backing out of the
garage and crashing into the cars in the driveway. Then I’d
pick her up (bike and all) and bring her back into the garage
where she’d start the process over again.
