Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

A little behind...

And I'm not talking about what I sit on.  ;o)  The past few weeks have been just crazy, hectic.  Clayton's transitioning into a new position at Intel that will change his schedule to M-F.  We have been trying to take full advantage of his few remaining long weekends to get as much done as possible.   Here is some of the fun we've been having though....

Nothing like a little family time to really make a day better.  We've been enjoying the awesome weather in the evenings and eating on the patio and building a fire in the fire pit to roast marshmallows over.

We've also done the marshmallow roasting in pajamas.  The kids love it and we enjoy the time together.

The kiddos decided to dig in the dirt in my planters.  They made a huge mess, but had so much fun that I couldn't get mad.  Needless to say, they went straight into the bathtub when they were done.



Andrew found a hibernating lizard in the sandbox.  He screamed, jumped, then decided it was pretty cool once Grandpa Max washed it off and set it on the blocks to warm up.  The poor thing couldn't move for hours so it just had to deal with all of us staring and poking at it.

So we've been having fun and we are looking for a lot more fun to happen in the future!  Here's hoping I can stay on top of the posting.

We are loving the nice weather too. I don't have a fire pit, but I've gone out to sit on our patio in the evening. Nice!

The boys look like they are enjoying themselves hugely!
