First beautifully warm day of 2012

Today was the first truly sunny and warm day for us up here in the Pacific Northwest! It was all of 64 degrees--which means outside, with the sprinklers on. Nathan, Isaac, Abby and I spent most of the day soaking up the sun. Unfortunately, Randy had to work--bummer, but Mathematics is important stuff!

Nathan taught Isaac how to properly drink from the sprinkler--and big brother was even brave enough to let little brother hold the sprinkler while he got a drink.



Nathan ended taking an "outside bath"--he filled up the wagon and I grabbed the body wash/shampoo and did the best I could--he's what I'd call "clean enough".  Isaac provided the rinsing. Although the water was freezing, Nathan and Isaac both had a fun time with this! Isaac was eventually brave enough to get wet--but I think it was a bit too cold for him.

Afterwards, we headed in for a much needed meal and a movie. NZ ate elbow noodles with Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese; I's ate custom trail mix (cashews, grapes and M&M's--he put the bowl on his head to let me know he was done). They chose to watch "My Neighbor Totoro".
