Weekending

OH, how I LOVE beautiful weekends.

The kiddie pool is set up, projects are being started, and the boys are in their element catching salamanders, tadpoles, leeches, bumble bees, butterflies, and bugs of all shapes and sizes.

Kevy and I are having fun too. It's been awhile since we've owned our own place, so projects that I'm quite sure will quickly become a pain, haven't lost their novelty with us yet. :0) Kev is putting up rain gutters to hopefully prevent another ocean in our basement when the next storm hits, I'm mulching and building rock walls and planting seedlings (even though I don't have a sweet clue what I'm doing), and as a family we are trying our hand at tackling a chicken coop for our new babies that are soon to arrive.

I love these kinds of days.

We live outside and come in only long enough to track up the floors, grab a bite to eat, and change a diaper or two.

Good times.

Yesterday, we all got in the car and kicked it south for the day. No real plans of where we were going or what we were going to do. We ended up at Old Orchard Beach - walked around, collected shells, and got thoroughly sandy and wet; and then we slowly made our way back home - hitting Cabelas and a coffee shop along the way. A family "play today."

Today we work. But, I can hardly call it that. It's been too long since we've had this. And it feels SO GOOD to get dirty! We are thankful, and we are blessed.
