Day 25...In the backyard

I worked all day yesterday and today, so I didn't have much time (or energy) for pictures. However, the kids are so simple in nature that they are thrilled beyond belief when we un-childproof the back door and release them into the wild unknown, aka our backyard. 

Because we apparently live in the rain forest, our yard has not between mowed in weeks.  Every time we have an opportunity to mow, its raining...or thundering...or there are tornado warnings!  So, it has gone to seed. 

Yet we still have fun.  Don't tell Rob, but I saw McCall blowing dandelions.  He doesn't stand for those in our yard, but look what I found...

At least our garden likes the rain.  Look at my romaine lettuce, I'm so excited!

We played on the swings, until it was time for dinner.

Then I discovered why you should never leave spray paint within reach of Bodie.  That is unless of course you want you barbecue "tagged".

He gave me these...

and this...

so he is forgiven, for today at least!
