Today was a great day. A day with no commitments, no games to be played, no practices to rush to, just a laid back day with beautiful, almost spring-like weather. The kids played outside most of the morning and after lunch I baked up some of these....
While I was baking Maggie took down the last reminders of Christmas. The cards are always the last to come down. I love seeing all those sweet faces up there. Maggie Lu and are going to put together a scrapbook so the kids can look through anytime they want. I actually have boxes and boxes of old Christmas cards. I just don't have the heart to throw them away and it's so fun to pull them out and see how everyone has grown and changed.
Sam had a friend over playing so after I was done baking they convinced me today was a good day to hit the skateboard park. We're always a bit reluctant about the skateboard park because it's not always the most wholesome crowd hanging out there...but once again, it was a great day! My kids were the oldest ones there not counting the few dads that were trying out their kids' boards! Maggie had a friend meet her there and they rode their scooters while the boys practiced their boarding skills.
Jo was perfectly content to dig up sand in the baseball diamond. She also spent a lot of time running after Amelia yelling "ayee-a"(I'm not even sure how to type the way she pronounces Amelia's name).
And Amelia was in heaven kicking her soccer ball around, digging in the dirt and climbing the play toy like a true monkey. She was giving me a lot of cheese everytime I tried to take her picture.
I got this shot of Lu right before we were leaving and the sun was just starting to set. I love days like today. Just hanging and playing and enjoying the outdoors. Ahhh...it was a great day!
