Sunshine at Last!

Yesterday was the first day in quite awhile that we have had a day with zero storms. It was sunny & warm but not humid. We were itching to get outside and enjoy it so we hurried up with our errands and our indoor chores & headed to the back yard. The pool needed to be emptied as someone had dumped sand in it. In order to vacuum it out the water had to be dumped. The kids didn't mind helping out with that. They gathered up buckets and were soon bailing out the pool. Soon it turned into soaking each other. Lol! Once the water was out Sweet Pea set to wet vacuuming out the sand. The younger children played in the yard and I did chores in and outside. It was a great afternoon!

Skippy, Skippy!

I adore this picture. Do you remember those carefree days?

Beautiful Day

I had looked ahead to the forecast and it said we were in for several days of rain. Wednesday was going to be the last nice day for a bit. After seeing that I decided we'd better get out and enjoy the sunshine! We invited some friends to join us and to our delight they were free! We met at a local park after our Bible study. We had a picnic lunch and played for 2 hours. The kids all had a blast! I even got a bit of sunburn. I completely forgot about sunscreen. I'd better get into spring & summer outdoor activity mode and stock the van up again. Here are some pictures from our fun afternoon with our friends.

Elvis & N had a great time together!

Holy Cow! Look at Bugs!

Hanging With Bugsy

The older 3 were dragging their feet getting their chores & schoolwork done. I got tired of waiting for them to finish and I took Bugs outside and left the others inside to finish up. We planted some seeds & played outside in the yard. It was rather cold but nice & sunny. I'm extra glad we went outside and enjoyed the sunshine b/c I heard tonight that it is going to rain & sleet tomorrow.
