From 50 to 80

True story.
Monday, 50 degrees.
Inside our house, jackets on, sipping down some hot chocolate.
The bed time routine, bath, bottle(for big H), story, teeth, prayer, potty and Bed.
Oh, all after snuggling with the mama on the couch.
And after dada gets his thigh master work out.
Back to the story. Monday, 50 degrees.
Tuesday, 80!
we did everything possible outside.
I was painting a few things, so the kids insisted on painting as well.
They were armed with water and paint brushes, and went to work.
Goofy picture, but I love these overalls.



A view from my front yard.
By the looks of thins, we
A. Run a day care
B. live in a neighborhood with TONS of kids
C. are too poor to afford swimsuits
or
D. just LOVE having a dang good time!!!!
If I haven't said it enough, we love love LOVE our neighbors the Ellis's
They have 5 fantastic kids, 2 of which are close to 2 of my kids ages.
They are ALWAYS doing something crazy,
and it doesn't take much for us to jump on the band wagon.
(Don't fret. Charlie is doing who knows what, but NOT what you think he's doing)
We have these huge construction cones we throw in the street when the kids are out,
and they work wonders!
I think we even have less cars now then we did a year ago, because they all hate navigating the cones.
Life is so good.

AND where do you get said traffic cones? Did you steal them?
