Sticks and snails and puppy dog tails...

If I were to use 3 words to describe life with the boys it would be...messy, fun, and LOUD. Now that it is warm, we are outside as much as possible. We are so grateful to have a big yard for them to play in, especially now that we have Charlie. Here is a typical afternoon.

 Water time...(a time in which I am telling Ethan one million times "Do NOT drink that water!")

 

 Snack time...(or for Ethan, "Feed the puppy" time)

 

 Sand table time...(which is according to this picture is a very serious time)

 

 Obstacle Course time...a new favorite of Sam's which I love because it doesn't require any running on my part. Genius.

 

 Find a "bug friend" time...(Why do boys love bugs so much? We currently have a stink bug in the kitchen that Sam has named 'Willy'. )

 

And of course LOTS of climb and slide time...

 

Love Sam in his daddy's old hat (disgard messy bed in the background)
