Day Two: Backyard Fun

Day two of spring break was spent almost entirely in the backyard. At Madeline's request, I took out and cleaned up the plastic wading pool that she outgrew about three years ago. But, the effort was well worth it, she and Sophie spent more than an hour splashing water and chasing each other around the yard. Leah had as much fun as the girls and was just as wet.

Blueberry stained teeth, face, and hands:

Kent, with the help of our girls, started building a table for our patio. We are looking forward to enjoying dinners outside this spring and summer. Did I mention that I am cooking this week? Yes, that's right, cooking. It is a nice adventure when I am not inundated with homework, grading, children bathing, going through mail, lunch, snack, and coffee making in the evenings, as is my usual week night routine.
