Here's an update from the last few days. We spent a lot of time outside! And we finally got around to starting some seeds (mostly for the kids sake, as I have already started some of the early spring seeds in the garden). Everyone got to poke holes in the bottom of paper cups before filling them with dirt...






Then we squirted the seeds with water...



Speaking of water, these are the two resident water-babies of the family. This green tub is for the girls to fill up and have access to water while they are outside. Recently we have had a number of wet floors as certain people fill up containers in the bathroom sink to bring outside. The tub will (hopefully) keep our floors dry.


More watercolor painting...



And various gymnastics poses, from the girl who would probably love to take a gymnastics class herself!

And finally, we visited the park yet again for a baseball game. The girls, of course, went right for the swings. Since this will be a theme throughout the summer, I will try to refrain from taking (and especially posting) more swing pictures. Just know that they are swinging...


And Gene was thrilled to finally play "catcher"...in tonight's game:
