Ewwww.....Worms

Yesterday we did have a mild afternoon so the kids and I got to play outside before lunch and nap time. It had rained the night before so there were a few worms in the driveway. Sophia was HORRIFIED of them. She would ride her bike around looking at the ground so she would not run over one. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. She was sooooo serious about it. She would talk to herself as she was riding along. I could hear her say "I'm trying to be brave"...."You can do it"...... "Just try a little harder"...."Don't worry Daniel, I'll save you".....I was just cracking up......you can see how serious she is in most of the pictures. She is usually all smiles and laughter when she is on her bike. I love the one where she is actually checking under her shoe to make sure she did not step on one! lol

The Boy on the other hand was soooooo happy to just be outside. I bet he spent nearly 25 minutes playing at our newspaper box. Taking it out, looking at it, like he was reading it, putting it back in, pushing it around in his cart....it was just darling. When he is in a good mood....he really does a good job with amusing himself. If it fell on the ground, he would bring it to me to put back together. Then he would squeal and run to put the paper back. I thought it was so cute. I just sat in my chair and enjoyed watching my children play. ;)

Look at her faces.....every now and then I would say.... "Watch out for that worm" ....and she would just shriek and I would do my best to contain my laughter and I would say "Woooo, that was a close one".....it was priceless.......I LOVE being outside with them.....I hear the weather isn't suppose to be that great this weekend....but they are saying better things for next week! We'll see.....this is MI after all. We are totally re-doing the swing set play area. Huge sand box, a deck for a bigger pool, a picnic table area and we will have an Asian Theme to it all! ;) I can't wait to post pictures when it is finished. I got another hair brained idea, and my sweet husband is going to build something special! Stay tuned......hope you all have a fabulous weekend. S*
