The kids are enjoying chocolate popsicles after swimming in the pool.
Everett LOVES any form of chocolate. As you can see...
Sophia thought it was fun to be a little messy too.
Now he is off to squirt his sister.
Sophia loves picking off the slugs and snails from my shrubs. I have had to overcome my dislike for touching the slimey buggers. I genuinely want her to respect all creatures...and yes, that means slugs. We usually collect a batch and place them in a bowl with lettuce (from the fridge). Later, after bedtime...mommy gently places them in the compost bin...
They love hiding out under this weeping, flowering plum tree.
Gamma and Everett.
My friend Kim Whipple sent an awesome care package and this "paint-you-own-birdhouse' was in it. Sophia waited so patiently until brother took a rest to paint it her way. Thanks Kim!
