Beautiful 68 degree weather and a day outside

Today was such a beautiful day. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the weather. Spring and fall are my favorite times of the year now that I have kids. Cool weather means comfortable, fun days in the back yard, park and zoo with my kids. I am enjoying Caylea being in Kindergarten because I know that in a few years the school time is going to increase. Right now it's only 30-45 minutes a day of actual book work so it's easy enough to do it in the evening or afternoon if we are not home in the mornings.
On to our day Elijah had stayed the night and I told him last night we would play outside so first thing this morning I was reminded of my promise so out we went. The kids had so much fun out there. I didn't realize the grass would be wet with dew when I let my little Caden loose out there so he ended up wet and muddy. Oh well! He later spilled the girls bubbles on the picnic table and plaed in the mess. He kept trying to climb up on the table where he split the bubbles and kept sliding off. Thankfully I was right there to catch him each time he landed in the pebbles. He finally figured out to go to the other side of the table and crawl on up there. He loved it :)
Brandy came to pick up Elijah and I got to cuddle my little Sarah-bear. They stayed for a few hours and we talked and ate lunch while the kids played and played and played. These kids have so much fun playing when they get together. Brandy found out today that she has rheumatoid arthritis on top of her Lupus. Please keep my sister and her family in your prayers. Please pray for wisdom for her doctors that they will be able to get this under control so that she will feel better soon.
My kids went to bed when Brandy left I think Elijah wore out the kids because even Caylea took a nap a good nap at that! This evening we went back outside first we got attacked by mosquito's. We bathed in bug spray and headed back out. The girls enjoyed their crabby sand box even though it is still a little wet b/c we left the lid off last week during the rain. It was actually easier to build sand castles in the damp sand.
We are suppose to be at the zoo at 9am in the morning to meet some friends. It's after 11 and my little Carolina is still going strong. Hopefully she will give it up soon and go to sleep so that we can get going early ( I still have to get lunches packed tonight so that I won't have to do in the morning).
Goodnight my friends :)
