Ah, Spring!

It rained and brown gave way to green!  We've been enjoying being outside all week.  On Sunday, Oli, Henry, and I went around the lake. On our way home, out of the beautiful blue sky, there was the longest rumble of thunder I've ever heard and then hail.

Painful hail!  Oli was riding her bike and screaming at the same time.  I was running with Henry in the stroller, trying to make it home.  A neighbor offered to let us stand on her porch until it was over.  It probably lasted three minutes, but it was a long three minutes.

Its been nice to be out in the backyard.  Jacob and I planted some peas and he is very into tending them.  Every morning he asks me, "water peas, Mom?"  We got some sand for the sand box.  Jacob has spent hours filling up his dump truck.  We're trying to learn to keep sand in the sand box but between Jacob and his dump truck and Henry the sand eater, we're going to be buying a new bag of sand next week.
