When the weather warms up, staying in the house looses much of its charm. Outside is much more fun. Alli played with worms again... this time they were snakes in a jungle tree. Worms are a favorite now.
Alli used the word "furthermore" in a sentence this week. She had argued a point or two and then added another point to her case with an elegant "furthermore."
Ruby "rainbowed" the patio bricks (betcha didn't know that was a verb). This funny girl responded to a request from me this week with, "Ay ay, me captain!" Pirate voice, of course.
By the way, did you know that a plastic snow sled makes a lovely splashing pool? I love multi-functional stuff!
Even June got in on the outside action. She was an eager spectator from her Bumbo chair.
(The dangerous looking toothpick was from a "fancy" snack {see Alli's face} which was topped off with frilly toothpicks... it was immediately confiscated.)
Ruby painted our windows with chalk-water. I put paintbrushes outside for water-painting. The kids paint on the ground, fence, etc. with water and then it dries in a little while so they can do it again... except lately they have been making chalk water so the art doesn't go away completely without a shower from the hose.
In related news, I washed the outside windows yesterday.
Hooray for warm weather and a bit of outside space!
