Spring

I guess it's been a while since I've gotten pictures off my slr camera. These were the first photos on there....obviously from St. Patrick's day. Sharon had left these little cookies in our mailbox. The kids were delighted!
We've had some very nice weather lately and have been trying to clean up the yard.
Clara has been really helpful, and fashionable as always.
She kept giving me funny looks this day. When I finally asked her what she was doing she said "I showing you my face!"
I've also been delighted to find Henry in this pose more often than not lately. Yesterday was warm again. He and I sat out in the sun for a silent hour, each of us reading our own book.

Weekend

We recently had a quite exciting game of hide-and-seek. Henry discovered that the toy box is a good place to hide, and now Clara likes to get in there with him. Where are all the toys, you ask? All over the floor, of course.
The weather this weekend was awesome, so we spent quite a bit of time outdoors. Mom decided Saturday morning that she had to come visit the kids, so here's Henry making a picture for her.
"Fowr Gramy"
When Mom arrived it was with gifts....a new dress and some pretty barrettes for Clara...
...the fashion plate.
And then Mom took some corny pictures of us working. I had to wear my rain boots (or gumboots, as Sharon calls them) because the ground was still very muddy from all of the recent rain.
Henry got a new shirt too. And he had a chance to utilize his new wheelbarrow. This summer I will weed my garden!
Not my lawn though. I love my lawn when it's covered with violets and dandelions. I feel like I'm Laura Ingalls.
