A Beautiful Saturday

You never know what the weather is going to be like around here, especially in the Spring.  We had an unexpected great day on Saturday, so we spent most of the evening playing in the front yard with the neighborhood kids.  Joey worked on his basketball skills, and this was after going on a 2 1/2 mile walk with me - I walked fast, so he ran most of the way and didn't complain once!



Grace's job was to look cute, as usual.  And do everything the boys were doing, of course.


 Andrew's scout group cleaned up the field next to the church, and Andrew came home with this treasure.  He wasn't sure why somebody would want to get rid of it.  It now occupies a space in my garage, waiting for some adventurous soul to bring it back to life.


 Matthew amazed the neighborhood kids with his genius in all things alphabet.  They were simply stunned that he knew all his letters and also could write them all.  We're stunned too, and we don't claim any credit.  He's just a kid who gets really obsessed with things, and luckily he picked something academic.  At least it's no longer garbage cans that he loves.
