Yesterday was SO cute. It was super hot out, and the kids were super happy!
Brady worked hard to place some boards under the fence so we could build the topsoil up a little, and everything looks so much nicer now 🙂 Aaaaand I crocheted on the deck, because, hard worker. Haha! We both got SO tan! I have never been this brown!
It was a really nice morning.
In the afternoon, it became clear that it was just too hot not to have a pool going, so we chucked everyone in bathing suits and embraced the mud of the backyard.
If you come over and there are hunks of dried mud all over our house, pretend you don’t see it!
Rowan isn’t in these pictures because he was invited across the alley to play with some friends 🙂 Lucky boy!! It was so special for him to go on his own, being the middlest kid, that doesn’t happen all too often just yet.
I took Wavy in a little early, and she helped me set the table. Did you know a toddler can set the table? 😳 She remembers better than I do who sits where, and sets the kids plastic dishes on her own. She also empties the dishwasher and knows where some things go! Its awesome.
After supper, we decided it was too hot to take the kids out again and risk heat stroke, so we stayed in and rinsed the day off of everyone. Body baths, I used to call them as a kid.
While that was happening, I received a message from a friend that she had found and purchased for me TEN tomato plants!! Isn’t that SO thoughtful?! She also offered me some super cute plants to keep inside, since I seem to be REALLY enjoying plants these days. She isn’t wrong! I’m so happy to have more cute plants to keep alive 🤞 🌱
When I headed outside to meet her to receive her lovely gifts, I discovered another gift on my doorstep!!
A peony, I believe from Laela’s teacher 💜 She and I discussed flowers the other day when we saw her on our walk, and I told her peonies are my favorite. She must’ve separated hers to share with me. Isn’t that lovely?? Man. I feel SO loved and thought of 🥰
It was a beautiful day, and today will be beautiful too ☀️
