Silence

The kids are in bed and I am enjoying my first glass of wine. Okay, it's not technically a glass, but rather a frozen beer mug full of blackberry wine. So sue me.

It has been a great day all around. The weather is AMAZING. It was about 75 degrees with a light breeze most of the day. And right now I am sitting next to an open window and it's just chilly enough to enjoy a sweatshirt. I love cool evenings. It's one of the best things about an Indiana spring.

We spent most of the day hanging out at home and running a few errands. After Little Miss had her nap we went to the park right down the road from our house. We were the only people there for most of the time so the kids got full run of the place. It's not big, but it has just enough for a 2 and 4 year old to stay busy with. At one point a 3 year old girl was there trying to take the swing that Little Miss was deciding whether to get on or not. The little girl said, "That's my swing." Tractor Boy replied, "Well, did you build the swings?" LOL. What a good big brother sticking up for his sister along with just the right amount of sarcasm to know he is my child.

I leave you with a few cute pics from the week. You will be able to tell I am on summer break as the number of pictures I have time to take/edit/post will increase dramatically. Lucky you! ;)


Most adorable new shoes from Target!

Wearing Daddy's work shirts.

You might not think toilet paper would be much of a toy for a 4 year old boy. Au contraire. They make the most perfect round bales.


Pin It!

OH, a frosty mug of wine sounds heavenly right now. And I LOVE the cow sniffing the "hay bale".
