I had forgotten, as I do every year, that being outside is wonderful and exhausting and a must. We went outside before dinner and tinkered around in the yard, blowing bubbles and planting dogwood. After dinner we went out with The Hubs, back to the yard and we painted birdhouses. And ran around like lunatics. And I got the laundry off the line and The Baby peed in the yard. Because he was running around with his diaper off.

We did awesome at our yard-sailing this morning! I haggled at the first one, full price at the second, and bought nothing at the third. We had a great time! I'm raising my kids to buy used, scavenge and re-use.
