park day!

We've been trying to get outside as much as possible when the weather has been good... so this afternoon we met friends at the park for some playtime.

Clara and her friend had a great time playing with Clara's stuffed pug, Sarah....

and talking girl talk in the club house...Alex and "M" decided to swing with their eyes closed...
Honestly... that makes me queasy just thinking about it. But sadly, just simply swinging makes me queasy anymore... sigh.

Alex also discovered that he no longer has to stand on his tippy toes in order to reach this...
He's getting taller!

It began to sprinkle a bit so we all sought refuge in our house for a while longer. The kids got along so well today.

We had to head out for Alex's rehearsal tonight so we had to go back out into the rain. Alex got his beard tonight and had to wear it for the whole rehearsal. He said it was REALLY itchy... but we reminded him that for the actual musical he'll be wearing it for only about 45 minutes to an hour instead of the 2 hours of rehearsal.

While he was in rehearsal, Jeff, Clara and I had dinner and bought Clara a hat and a pair of gloves to go with her new winter coat. Nothing terribly exciting.

Tomorrow after school we've got to pick up the house since we have a friend and her daughter coming over to play! Fun stuff.

Okay... that's it for us.... nothing else newsworthy that I can remember!

'nite!
