notice anything different?

It's subtle.... but nearly 11 months after she first got her ears pierced, Clara has finally changed her earrings.....
She picked red hearts in honor of Valentine's Day and is quite pleased with them! :-)

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day here so we decided to spend as much of the day outside as we could.

We called up some friends and found out that they had had the same idea. So, we all met up in the park.

The kids had a great time running.... just running free across the park. I'm not sure I've ever seen them all run that much....

After the running, we headed to the playground to play. They all had a great time....... playing and soaking up the sunshine!

After that we went to a science class, then swim and the library. The kids swim in back to back classes instead of swimming at the same time. I take whoever is not swimming to the nearby library to pass the time. It had been working well until last night. They each picked out quite a stack individually but I didn't realize how many books they had chosen until we combined both stacks after swim. We could barely get them home! Given that they do read most all that they check out, it will be worth hauling them home.... however, my shoulder didn't think so last night!

Okay.... lots to do today!
