Dirty Work

How did Jeremy get so dirty?

Finally planting the part of the lawn that got torn up a year and a half ago when we put in the new septic system!

Sprinkler Time!

We broke out the sprinkler! It was pretty warm and the kids were melting from running around so much. Thomas got the sprinkler for his birthday so this was our first time trying it. Thomas liked hanging out at the end where he could play without getting too wet. Samuel loved the whole thing. Julia really wanted to play but she didn't really like the cold water. She did brave it a little.

Thomas loved squirting people.

Samuel had a ball.

I think it will get good use this summer.

It's Summer ...

and Philip is happy about it!

The kids got out of school Friday

and we started our daily projects on Monday. We made paper quilts. Sam's is a butterfly and Thomas's is a "shoe taker offer."

The weather has been beautiful so we played outside too.Yesterday we had to go to town so we had a picnic at the park and then played with our new balls in the tennis courts (the fence kept the kids and the balls in!)Yay Summer!

What Philip's Been Doing

Taking a well-deserved break in the swing after a long day of construction work.Preparing for his truck-drivers' test.

That's Her!

These two pictures were one after another on my camera. Very Julia.

Two Months!

My St. Patrick's Day baby, in the clover on his two month birthday.

He doesn't appreciate the symbolism...

Missed Opportunity

Ever since I started reading The Blog of Unnecessary Quotations (which, by the way, is hilarious, if in a geeky "I love grammar" type of way) I've been keeping my eye out for some misused quotation marks. I found the perfect sign today but I didn't have my camera. Plus I was driving down a pretty busy street and it was out the passenger window. Anyway, it said: Handsome Mechanic "Now on Duty" I guess the handsome part is definite but whether or not he's actually on duty is iffy. So if you are in the 70th and Van Dorn area with your camera please take a picture of it and send it to me!! :) (I'm only half kidding!)
