Spring at last!

Today I took the kids outside to play and Benjamin yelled "Mama, Mama! I found something! It's growing! Come see, come see! Hurry!" He noticed the purple hyacinth bulbs Mom got me for Christmas were in full bloom. The whole yard smells nice, too. Frankie came out to pose for his public.

A Blogging We Will Go...

OK, everybody else is doing it, so I guess I will too. The picture here is Ben & Kenzie at our January tea party. We get together with my mom & 11 year old sister every month for a tea party, and we alternate whose house it is at. January was my turn.

We got the kids one of those sand & water playtables and put it outside on the porch a couple of days ago. They absolutely love that thing. Of course, now the porch is covered with sand...

Benjamin is still in his pirate phase. Today he pretended that the porch was our ship and he used his battery powered bubble maker to shoot down the pirates. I was Captain Mommy and he was First Mate Benjamin. Some of the pirates were swallowed by giant whales, and we were caught in a whirlpool twice. Life is such an adventure when you're four!
