The past two weeks, the sun came out for a few days. We were outside nearly the whole day, going to bed completely pooped from physical fun. We cut our grass, and began to play in the backyard for the first time in about 4 months. Been too wet to go out in until now. How wonderful it's been to just play in the garden, the dirt, and the cool air. We've done our learning outdoors. I grabbed books to read to them while they played. Heaven.
Could she not be any cuter? Girls, such a fun difference from boys.
Moon dough. Another 'why do I do this to myself?' art project that requires major clean up afterwards, but is worth it for the kids:)
It was around 80 degrees this day. Everyone said it was really hot. I thought it was perfect. Desert folks we are.
Huge park, with tons of green everywhere. Brooke chasing her brothers:)
Explored a little spot off the road, and found a secret, magical place. Showed the boys the fun of climbing trees and playing with a bucket. Best toy ever. Rope and bucket.
Could not get this cutie out of the tree. He loved it.
- Having time to read, play and explore.
- Ethan wanting to sit in my lap outside by the garden, for at least 30 minutes, singing Let it Go and other fun stuff. Bliss.
- Brooke constantly dressing herself up, and loving it.
- Discovering a great coconut chocolate chip cookie recipe here.
- Learning more about homeschooling and finding our daily rythmn. Learning more about how my kids learn so I can help them.
- Organizing an area, finding the dvd camera, and watching old clips of Ethan super young. Reminding me of how fast time flies, and to savor each chapter. Surreal to watch.
- Helping prepare food at an LDS missionary zone conference. Being sung to by the missionaries, thanking us for their lunch, and having a total flashback of being a missionary doing the same thing to other people who fed us. Tender.
We've been busy each day, and when it rains, we read and play more inside. It's a different pretty up here:)
