After church, we had a quick lunch at McDonalds, then swung by Lowes to pick up some flowers & potting soil- Earth Day, ya know.
After we got home, they boys did some crafts- painting their Dollar Tree piggy banks (part of last night's allowance spree) & doing one of those melty bead things (which they of course broke 10 minutes later in a fight over candy)..
After that they wanted to help Greg build a potting bench (that he'd been promising me for forever). As he pulled tools & scrap lumber out of the garage, they chased each other with the water hose until they were both soaked. After that, I let them wash the cars, which was the MOST FUN EVER.
Then we trooped in the house for quiet time (coloring) & Veggie Tales; tgen chicken strips, bath (now graduated to showers) & "Cat in the Hat Comes Back"- small argument about whether it was "came back" or "comes back". Big Bro was adamant it was the former, despite the cover of the book.
I loved that the boys spent all day running in & out of the house; doors & windows open; flip flops on & shirts off; shrieking in the sunshine, sleeping hard & fast by the moonlight.
