It started at 5:30 am, because Miss Squeaky thinks "if the sun is up, I should be too."
Later that morning I finally planted the red potatoes that had been sprouting in my kitchen for a few weeks. And YAY, some of the sunflowers are popping up.
We finally mailed some baby clothes to my sister in Arkansas.
Then we went for a picnic. But first, at Safeway, I taught the childrens how to honk the horn in their shopping car. Mr. Grunty did most of the steering, usually he had his hands on both steering wheels.
At the picnic...
Miss S attacked her mommy. MyBetterHalf was laying down, Miss S crawled over to her, crawled up, and then started giving her slobbery kisses on her neck. MyBetterHalf was laughing lots, and that only encouraged Miss S.
Mr. G discovered that sitting in the grass and kicking your legs is as fun as taking a bath. He was laughing loud. And it's even more fun when a parental does the same.
We took them walking (They still hold onto our fingers) barefoot in the grass. Yay! Miss S isn't afraid of walking in the grass.
Mr. G encountered his first dandelion. It was ready to disperse the seeds. He bent down to touch it, and very gingerly touched the white poof. He did that a few more times, and then, when the dandelion wasn't expecting it, he grabbed it and captured most of the seeds.
I finished a book.
And finally, I put up the curtains that our good friend Blub gave us a million years ago for the childrens room. Maybe now Mr Sun won't wake up Miss Squeaky.
