The joys of a beautiful spring day

I think we can say that Chaucer is doing well with the kids. The worst thing he has done towards them is eat their dinner! He has managed to get a pot of Macaroni, a bowl of soup, ham sandwich and probably so much more that I am unaware of. If anything I often have to save Chaucer from the kids. They pull his tail, ears, hair... When you hear him whining you know one of the children have their hands on him.

I have also learned that the kids love to walk and walk sometimes much further than their little legs can go. Some days they have more energy than others and sometimes we have to stop and take a little break. Often times it is just sitting down and eating some Gold fish and having a drink of water. Sometimes the break consists of making up games to play in the middle of the trail. Today was one of these days. When all else failed we drew a circle in the dirt and tried to get as many "gumballs" in the circle as we could.

After a walk the kids have typically developed an appetite so we sit down and eat some lunch together. We learned that PB&J is a great sandwich. (they weren't sure of at first but they love it now). Lunch is usually followed by a nap. (PS. Pierson is doing much better he actually shut the door himself today and said "She-ya Momma")
After nap time we have to figure something out to do to entertain ourselves until BaBa gets home.

Who doesn't love a tub of water and a garden hose? Pierson thought it was fun to sit in the tub and lean back on the this ball... I think we either need a bigger tub or a smaller ball. :)

And have you met my sassy frass? She spent more time filling up her watering can and watering the grass than actually sitting in it... what ever makes her happy. Right? That area of the grass is going to be VERY green! We'll have to keep moving the tubs so that the rest of the yard gets the same irrigation treatment! :)

Have a happy day!
