It has been raining non-stop all day and looks like it will continue pretty much well into next week. So other than running to and from daycare, we pretty much stayed inside all day. (Didn’t even get the mail.)
My friend Jill did come for a visit with her sweet 8 year old daughter, Morgan. Andrew loved having Morgan here. She played choo-choos with him. She read stories to him. She was a partner in crime with him.
Yes, Jill and I were talking on the main floor and the kids were off somewhere playing. Well, it wasn’t for a while that we realized it was too quiet. Morgan soon appeared and Andrew was calling after her to “Come back!” When he appeared to get her, we realized that his hands were ice cold, his socks were off and his pant legs were soaked.
We came to find out, that between the two of them (I’m am 100% positive my son was the instigator) they took the stick out of the slider door to our back yard, unlocked it, and took all of Andrew’s outdoor toys outside. In the cold pouring rain! And get this…they even took his heavy basketball hoop out there.
It was one of those things that we really didn’t get mad about and was more surprising than anything. It was actually even funny. Of course, all Andrew was upset that we didn’t let him continue playing out there. All he wanted to do the next couple hours was put on his shoes and socks and go play outside. He didn’t care if it was raining and cold.
Jill, thanks for the visit, it was great seeing you!

I just caught up on all your recent blogs! (Your re: blogging blog inspired me to keep it up. You're so right.) Eric and Marc MUST have the same dad... Eric's been all over the landscaping thing for a couple of weeks now, too. Bricks, mulch, perennials, annuals.... I'm so glad he likes doing it 'cause I like HAVING it, but not DOING it. :-) Miss you guys!
HAPPY Mother's Day! Thanks for keeping up on your blog; we love keeping up with you and your boys!
