Green and Crunchy

It's April and spring is truly here -- at least of late.  The other morning the girls and I took advantage of the sunshine and moved our normal indoor activities, outdoors.  All that was required was carrying the girls' table to the back lawn!

(Can you tell Kathleen has been dressing herself?  I love the dress/tights combination!)

While I sipped a nice cup of coffee and wrote some notes, the girls entertained themselves with some green play dough and crunched on granola we'd made earlier that morning.  It seemed so spring-like -- the girls in their pretty pastels on the green lawn.

The morning was a treat for all of us.  We soaked up some sunshine and the quiet of a weekday morning.  The girls were amused by the novelty of using play dough outdoors.  And, in addition to the (practically unprecedented) chance to sip some coffee in relative quiet, I didn't even have to clean up the playdough crumbs -- I just left them in the grass!

Sweet times. I love Kathleen's fashion sense. We've had some similar outfits here. Anna loves dresses and tights, as well as layering "up sleeves" and "down sleeves" which most people call short-sleeves and long-sleeves, respectively. Miss you all!
