Today was the first weekend home in over 4 weeks for the girls and I. It was a great day of hard work! We built a new planter to be a vege garden (its right next to the rose planter for anyone that knows our yard). And then James worked for a while building the stairs and platform up to the girls' slide. I doubt that either of us will be able to move tomorrow but it was great to get stuff done today. We have 12 tomato plants, 6 green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, and a splurge cantelope just to see what grows (something I would never buy in the grocery store but if one grew than we get to enjoy a treat). The girls enjoyed all of it. The big phrases we heard all day were "play dirt" -- Kate's version of planting plants and "new stairs" as the girls were thrilled with stairs James' added to the slide. They didn't want to slide just go up and down the stairs and Emma would go up with a bucket of water dump it down the slide and then go back down the stairs for more water. It truly is fun to watch them play and they are getting more and more imaginative in their play too. Kate has started taking toys and books under their art easel and making it a fort to play in and Emma tries to dress Bunny with bracelets, sunglasses and clothes. We hope you all had a Saturday filled with as much fun as ours!
