Ice Cream Sunday

I made some homemade hot fudge and caramel sauce for our treat. The kids decided they wanted theirs in cones with m&ms. I had mine with strawberries, fudge, and caramel. So good.

Park Day

After I picked the boys up from school we headed to Eagleville Park. The big boys played while Luke and I enjoyed the cool breeze snuggled up in the gazebo.

My Favorite Boys

The boys were very helpful with cutting down some small trees and cedars, while I helped Patrick with putting up the fence. They did a great job of helping us start a fire to stay warm and clear out brush. They paused to take a little break and snuggle up with there favorite big pup.

King of the Mountain

Sam and I have been walking down on the Greenway on days when the older boys are at (pre) school. After I walk, I take him to the playground to play for a little bit before we head home for lunch.  He loves playing in the tunnel.

Nature

We were outside having a picnic today when Will laid down on the blanket. I asked him if he was tired, and he said, "No, just listening to the sounds of nature."

Born to Ride

"In My Ol' John Deere"

Will hasn't been able to ride his bike due to all the seizure activity. It's been pretty sad to have to tell him he can't do something that he loved to do and was getting really good at. We came up with an alternative idea to help him enjoy his time outside and give him a feeling of independence. He LOVES the Gator. He is getting really good at it. He has decided it is most fun to drive in high gear while looking straight up at the sky. It has seat belts to help keep him safe in case of seizures or if Jack is driving (just a tad nerve wracking to watch).

A Mud Pie for Mother

 When I wasn't looking I let this happen:

Apparently their beloved book, "A Mud Pie for Mother" sparked the idea. By the time I noticed it really was too late to put an end to it so they got to get really good and muddy. I've had to steer them clear of this same muddy spot several times since.

April Showers...

Make great big muddy puddles.

Spring has Sprung

Ladies Man

While we were outsiside playing, Will spotted this beauty. He ran over and picked it, sniffed it, and sighed, "This flower smells like Grandma Miller."
