Fun Outside

The weather isn't so great today, but the last few days have been WONDERFUL!! Ethan helped me collect this HUGE pile of sticks from off our grass. The trees in our yard (and the neighbors yards) have been doing a lot of . . . shedding? Anyway, we had fun making this big pile, but Ethan just can't get used to the sun. He spent too much of his life in Washington, I guess, because he just kept saying, "I don't like the sun mom, it's too bright, it's too sunny." I'm trying to convince him that sunny is GOOD!! You can see him squinting in the picture:

Madeline LOVES being outside. She doesn't need a sock on her hand anymore and even scoots on gravel without noticing. She makes piles of rocks, plays with sticks, digs in the dirt, and plays with the balls. She was way dirtier than Ethan and she cried when we went inside for dinner! It's so nice to have a big backyard with a fence!

Yeah glad you could get out! Poor Ethan, he will adapt I am sure.
