Really nothing new going on. Just enjoying the green grass and leaves on the trees. Playing in the backyard.
Luke is big enough to get on a swing on his own now and swing. Such a big boy. I was looking at his hands tonight and realized his thumb is almost as big as mine. So strange to think he'll be bigger than me someday.
The girls have a blast in their playhouse. It is the subject of many stories they write for Writer's Workshop at school. One day their teacher said, "Go home and play in your playhouse in the beautiful weather!" and the girls said, "How does she know we have a playhouse!"
Cailey still loves dogs. She writes about her "CeCeWaWa" (chihuahua) which is a stuffed toy, but you wouldn't know that by the way she writes about it. You'd think it was real. She also wrote a cool story about buying a cactus with daddy at Lowe's, "yestrday wich was Sunday." It is really neat to see how much they've grown this year.
David has been working in our flower beds. Our house would have no curb appeal if it weren't for him. No green thumb here. I think it is totally cool that the kids follow David around in the yard helping him with landscaping projects. It is one time he is totally patient with them I think. Even if he encourages gross hobbies like bug collecting, giving them grubs and pill bugs to stick in the bug catcher. That one had to stay outside!
Mia got right into the thick of things at her last soccer scrimmage. Grandpa said he even saw her throw an elbow to get at the ball! A far cry from the little girl who stood on the sidelines two years ago crying because the other kids kept stealing the ball and weren't sharing.
I love Spring!
