....never stop 'cause it's too much fun

We took advantage of the gorgeous spring weather and their good behavior to take a little jaunt to the park after school. They slid, they ran, they scootered, they posed....

Lucinda Williams' Buttercup

and surely this sweet sand is slipping through

We got to spend an afternoon together the other day, so we headed to a favorite park. Jack got an idea Dean found some cool tracks in the sand and everyone investigated

I had just posted about the sun on Harry's face and caught this one - Jack thought it was really cool because it looked like the rays were actually touching Harry.

It was a beautiful day

They are just about too big for this car, but I am guessing this is where Harry's dream of being a bus driver began....

Even Jack's backseat driving didn't seem to deter him ;-)

Thanx for a lovely afternoon, sweet husband! Welcome home, we miss you when you're gone!

Heart's Sand

I'm Your BUBBLE Man, that's what I am!

An afternoon that's perfect for bubbles - thank you, Ms Kari, for getting extras for Jack. Harry had a wonderful time helping you practice your test....the bubbles were just a great bonus, and you spoil them rotten!

KC & The Sunshine Band's I'm Your Boogie Man

child of nature, friend of man

Our local parks and rec had an evening nature hike that included a story, a collage and smores - it was a lot of fun to see old friends and explore.

Smores with one of their favorite P&R friends

Neither of them really likes marshmallows but it was fun to roast them It was a long day, but we tried to rally for a picture

Sugarloaf's Green-Eyed Lady

Love, love, love is sunshine.

The boys introduced Grayson to one of their favorite parks this afternoon, and I thought it might be fun to compare them with a picture from one of their first visits....

It was a pretty gray day, but friends always make it brigher!

I know I have this same picture of Jack blowing out a flipflop, but I can't find it right now

It was a really fun afternoon, following a great morning of movies and lunch with Asher and his parents. What a week!

James Taylor's Shower The People

I'll take sunday mondays any every day

After the Memorial Day service, we took advantage of the clouds breaking up and headed to the park with Grayson....it was a long and beautiful day - thanx for all the fun, friends!

Harry, Grayson and Jack talking talks and planning plans

Harry enjoying a moment in the sand, burying his feet

and watching the sand fall

Harry drew a large map of our trip to 'town'

Chalk and bikes and boys, oh my!

Everybody got into the chalk map-making
And this is my sweetheart, being silly with Harry's glasses just before he used the chalk to write me some love graffiti :wub:

Lenny Kravitz's Sundays Mondays

Bounce, Bounce! Nothing's gonna keep me down

Tuesday a group of friends from the boys' preschool got together for a little bouncing party as part of their last-week-of-preschool festivities.....I apologize in advance for the pix, I've been taking a break from lugging the camera and took these with the phone ;-)

They de-shoed and listened to the rules, the first of which was to 'have fun' - they could do this!
Asher, Harry and Jack taking flight - I don't remember if this was the trip to Africa, the beach or where...

It's hard to tell, but they set up a sort of clubhouse at the top of this slide - who knows what sort of stories and adventures they had, but they were nice enough to let girls join in every now and then!

Harry has been in a girl phase lately, if you're looking for him, just find the girls (especially Ladybug :wub:) and there he'll be

I couldn't get a good picture of them, but all 14ish of them were wedging themselves into this little tent...visions of future frats pranks abound!

After the bounce-fest, we went to the park for biking and scootering and general boying

Gavin rode with us, and he and Jack had a blast on the turning and climbing things

Jack, Grayson, and Harry turned this window into a dungeon despite the fact that nobody's behavior was *that* bad ;-)

And this is how Harry ended the day - having the doctor confirm that this awful rash is sunproduct- or sun-related....poor boy, I'm supposed to leave off the sunscreen for a week...um, their year-end picnic is tomorrow, full sun for hours!
