Thank God for nice weather!

The kids have been outside non-stop now that nice weather has finally arrived. Tonight they came in and asked if they could play in the sprinkler. That may be pushing it a bit but it is beautiful outside! Karissa is such a tom-boy and she now has discovered worms - much to the disgust of Katie. She "collects" them and puts them in weird jars, brings them into the house, and then cries when they die.....it's a vicious cycle. Katie is still in that in-between stage where she still swings, plays in the sand-box, etc., but as soon as a friend comes over she is suddenly too cool for that! Ryan just loves anything dirty which drives daddy nuts. He loves the sand and pours it on his head and in his shoes. I pick my battles.....at least they clean up easily enough with soap and water. It's just coaxing them inside for the bath that's the tricky part.
