Sunshine

We created paper plate sunshine yesterday.  This time, we used a crayon to add some swirls onto the plate before we painted the plate.  I think it looks more fiery, as the sun should look.

They made sure to paint all of the white. :)

We were happy that the rain held off for us to get some outside time in.  Generally, we spend a lot of time outside.  The Department of Early Learning makes us agree to allow at least 30 minutes of outside time each day.  We spend much more than that outside.  What a great time it is for the kids to explore the environment and just breath fresh air.  On rainy days, we usually average about an hour and a half outside because of our bus stop walks.  On nice sunny days, it's safe to say we are outside for at least 2 hours.  (In increments.) Ethan got out his chalk scooter yesterday.  When he pushes the back end of it down, the chalk draws lines where he has been.

This little guy decided he was going to mow the lines.

"Do you ever put the camera down?"  No, not really.  That doesn't mean any of my photos are high quality, either.  Practice does not make perfect when it comes to me and photography, unfortunately.

Love these rubber boots.  These are perfect Washington outdoor wear.  Even though the rain wasn't falling, the yard is still a muddy mess.

The apple tree is waking up!

I had a walk by picking of the blooms on my one Hyacinth.  So I moved it to a less accessible part of the garden.  That is the risk of having a one year old in the yard.  Garden death.  Sigh.  I need to just invest in some more Hyacinth.  They are so fragrant and each year I treasure the one that I have. Happy Thursday!♥♥♥

Song for today is One Day by Matisyahu.  Beautiful song- even more beautiful lyrics. ♪
