This morning I had the chance to sit outside and watch the kids play. It truly was a perfect spring morning.
Sam bought sand for the sandbox yesterday, so the kids have been playing in it with their new sand toys. Just sitting back with a cup of coffee and watching them run around barefoot was a treat. Andrew is Ella’s biggest follower and always plays along. Today, she was a source of many laughs. For five minutes I just listened and heard some of the funniest stuff:
“Grandpa’s phone never works because he always breaks it.”
“Bubby, pretend you are a super hero, but you have no powers!”
“Look at me! I’m a flying dolphin!”
“Here is my baby’s home. She hides here so the bad guys won’t get her.”
“…and that’s all because he turned into a chicken!”
“Be careful not to fall in the river, because the water is on fire!”
She is a source of so many chuckles.
Another source of chuckles is our dumb dog, LOL. We took her to the vet this week to get her spayed. She is not supposed to be running around or anything like that. Well, she is naturally crazy, so I’m not sure how we can make that happen. Today, as the kids and I were outside, she was chewing on a plastic watering can, various toys, and fetched a stick. Ok, so maybe it is a tree limb….
Watching her run with this huge thing in her mouth was more than comical.
In other news, Ella got her eyes checked this week and she needs glasses. She is farsighted, while Andrew is nearsighted. She doesn’t have hers yet, but she picked out some cute frames.
Andrew has had his glasses for a week or so now and he loves them. They are transitions, so they become sunglasses when he is outside. He’s so cool!
I’m looking forward to many more sunny mornings outside!
