A day with the kids.

Well, I had PTO today to hang with the kids. This was by far the hardest so far. Mostly because I really miss Peg. Life is a lot better when she is around.

I was cutting some canteloup this morning for the kids and Hazel all of the sudden points and says "O, Oliver". She was pointing at the hallowed out canteloup, which I must say looked very much like an "O". They are really getting into their letters.

We went to Home Depot and wandered around. We watched a fork lift driver for a while. They just kept saying "Man! Man!". Not really anything you can say to that. :-)

We spent a good 90 minutes at Veterans Park. The kids really enjoyed that. We finished up with 5 minutes of pulling as many dandelions as possible. Those kids really like to pick "flowers".

After lunch Oliver pushed his milk sippie on the floor. I gave him a disapproving look and he says "Olive eat it". Too much time with the Reeves I guess.

Ollie is getting very good at riding the Red Rider trike he got for Christmas. He was riding around me in the driveway and saying "Circles". It was pretty great. Hazy still needs a little longer legs to get it working. She tries SO hard.

We had hamburgers (on the grill) for dinner. I was feeling adventurous. The kids ate great! Almost all of the hamburger was gone...but the "dip dip" is getting to be a problem. Hazel just painted herself with it and Oliver was dipping green beans and then striping his face. Dinner was a success but a major mess.

Well so ends my day. I am very tired. 13,000 steps so far today. Big day for me.
