A Beautiful Day!

Today was gorgeous! We went outside and enjoyed the sunshine and breeze. Little Guy had a blast blowing bubbles, "mowing", and throwing around a football. Today is not only St. Patrick's Day, but also Robert's birthday! I surprised him with a new shirt (green!) to wear to work today. As an extra surprise, I cleaned out our office! Few of you have any clue how bad it was in there! I didn't totally take care of it, but I did get it 90% done. This is a huge gift to Robert, who hates for anyone to see that room and frequently makes feeble attempts at cleaning it up. He just stood in the doorway and stared for several seconds trying to process why the room looked so different. It was a great reaction after all of my hard work! Then we ate enchiladas with green rice and green jello. Now we are all just chilling out with the windows open. It is great.
Here are a couple of pictures of our fun outside this afternoon.

Just Checking!

Here is a conversation that Little Guy and I had this morning.

Little Guy (yelling across the room)- Moooommmyyyy! You ok?

Me- Yes, I'm ok. Are you ok?

Little Guy- I fine.

Ok, so maybe it isn't as funny to everyone else as it was to me. I am just loving how I can actually talk to him now instead of just listening to him ramble incoherently.

Spring must be here...

Two days ago we found our first tick of the season, and today the ants arrived in my kitchen. I wish there was a way to get rid of them without having to poison our whole yard and both the animals. But there is not, so I will just need to invest in a flea collar and some Frontline. Robert has some fertilizer/insecticide that worked great last year, so we will do it again this year. Ugh. Why did God make ticks? They are one of the grossest things that I can think of. Also, why is our yard so full of creepy crawly stuff? What about it is so appealing?

Life Imitating Art

I should know that something is going on when it is too quiet in the house. Ironically, Little Guy has been requesting "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" lately.
