day 151- Fishing pole

My oldest & youngest sons have been having lots of fun with this broken fishing pole from my dad. My oldest has been tying on their "catch".

day 150 - Water

My oldest son just loves playing with water and has been having lots of fun digging holes and canals behind our house and filling them with water.

day 148 - Clematis

day 146 - fairies

We went to an herb farm today to buy some herbs for my herb garden. They had several little fairy houses set up in the greenhouse. This is one of them. The kids got a kick out of them.

Day 143 - Gum

My daughter had been chewing gum and lost it. I figured she had swallowed it since I didn't see it anywhere on the floor near her. The next morning my husband feels a lump on her & thinks she has a major bump. Nope, we found the gum, lol.

day 139 - hand in hand

We met some friends at the park today and as we were heading back to our cars my daughter and her son decided to hold hands as they were walking, it was so cute :-)

Day 136 - Color

I just love the color on these lungworts.

day 134 - Toad

My daughter holding a toad I found in the yard.

day 131 - Bees

I took my oldest son and daughter to a beekeeping class. We all thought it would be fun. They didn't enjoy the listening to them talk all that much but they did enjoy seeing the bees and some of the hands on activities. The wife showed us how to make bread, using some honey in it of course, which fascinated my daughter. My son was able to hammer together a frame that goes in the beehive, he loved that. Then they put some bees into a couple of hives. My kids kept wanting to get right up close to take a good look. Maybe if things are going a little more smoothly around here next year we'll get a beehive for the yard. We'll have to find out what's involved in harvesting the honey when we go back in Aug.

day 129 - Happy

Here are the 3 of my 4 kids happily playing with their dad and duplos at my sister-in-laws house on Mother's Day.

day 124 - Door

My daughter (with some help from me) made a door with her dominoes :)

day 122 - Blooms & water droplets

day 122 - Rain

My daughter had been outside, came inside took off her dirty clothes & then decided to head back out. It was warm & rainy and stomping in the muddy puddles seemed like a fun thing to do :)
