Here are some pictures of our first glorious spring-like day-
The first fire of the year, they roasted and ate a whole pack of hot dogs at 2 PM, and I had just fed them lunch.
Meet our dear caterpillar friend. Today is probably the first time all week that he/she has gone for an hour without being fed or held or sang to or carried around exuberantly in circles through the house. I think I hear sighs of relief coming from her/his direction. The insecurity it is feeling due to having it's name changed at least 4 times already, well, I can't even imagine. Meet Fred/Speedy/Patch/Sophie- he is perched on the top of Brooklyn's stick.
Me- "Because it's for home school mom's"
Brooklyn- "Oh, I thought you were just being lazy."
love this. especially the part about brooke thinking you were being "lazy". =) what a joke!
