T-Ball season has begun

As with so many things, Ben takes a bit of time to warm up when it comes to change. Though he struggled with the first few minutes of T-Ball (he said he was "nervous", which I can totally understand), he did great. He's got quite an arm and can really hit the ball... Here's to the beginning of another season!

Picnic

I packed a picnic lunch for me and the boys & we headed to our favorite spot in the woods. Gilbert followed us and was rewarded with some cheese. He and Spencer came and went, nibbling a little, but mostly playing together. Ben was hungry after his T-ball game this morning, so we sat and chatted... It was a beautiful afternoon for a picnic.

Peas are planted!

It's a beautiful day here and following T-Ball and a picnic in the woods (where I had to pick a tick off Ben!!), I decided to plant the peas. The boys were a big help and we got a bit overzealous with the pea seeds, so it'll be interesting to see how they come up this year. The boys really loved playing in the dirt and, subsequently, water (ok, mud really). I can see the bathing-every-night season approaching. Hopefully that also means the sleeping-really-well-at-night season is also upon us. Someone should really tell Spencer about that. He hasn't gotten the memo.

Spring is in the air

The boys enjoyed walking outside in their bare feet this afternoon. It got a little chilly, but they enjoyed playing in the dirt and throwing rocks in the water...
Spencer has discovered that he really enjoys playing with shaving cream in the bath tub...
He's also discovered that his favorite word is "no". He'll use it as an automatic response to just about any request. Or statement. Or glance, really...
