Of course, by the time we got home the rain had stopped. They didn't mind that either, as there were still puddles for jumping and a gutter flowing with water perfect for sending sticks and acorns downhill.

Gardening in the rain
We got caught in a rainstorm at the garden yesterday. Kids didn't mind too much.
Of course, by the time we got home the rain had stopped. They didn't mind that either, as there were still puddles for jumping and a gutter flowing with water perfect for sending sticks and acorns downhill.

Muuuuuuuud
Mud play mid-hike is much more enjoyable (and likely to be permitted by The Mom) when it's 81°outside. Hooray for a balmy spring day!

Bubbles
Nothing like cuteness and bubbles to brighten your Monday.
Yep, cuteness.(Also, I love that Doodle's still wearing, and now loving, the jumper I made her.)
Happy Monday!

Doodle excerpts from a nature outing
Memorable snippets from an outing with the kids to Shaver's Creek Environmental Center last week.
Much discussion and admiration of migrating monarchs, and a monarch costume worn proudly.
(real, live) Snakes in tanks with informative signs, followed by a Real! Live! Snake! in the Wild!
Lots of worker bumble bees (that means they're girls, Mom, so don't touch!) foraging on the jewelry (Jewelweed). It's called that because it's like jewelry on the plant. Like bracelets when I bellydance.
Treasures in the form of early-turning fall foliage, collected and carefully stowed for transport home. But don't give it to anyone. Not even a moose.
Admiring injured Bald Eagles, then asking them hey, do you want to go to a playground with me?
This kid is so amazing, so engaged, so awesome.

I love it
...when my kids love the food I make.Pictured: stuffed 8-ball zucchini. Based on the Fat-free Vegan 8-ball zucchini recipe, but highly modified to include fatty pork sausage, among other deliciousness.

11 months
Dirty crag baby in West VirginiaOne day shy of 11 months old his first tooth appeared.
One day over 11 months old and he just said 'Mama' for the first time.
(Ball, Papa, Booby and Dog came before this, with Papa as the favorite.)
He is such a joy.

Up the slide
Yes I'm one of those parents. The ones that let their kids go up the slide. I try my hardest to emphasize the importance of only going up when there aren't other kids around, or when they're not near your particular slide. It doesn't always work, but I try.
That disclaimer is simply to reassure you that while I'm trying to raise respectful and courteous little people, I also encourage their daring behavior to some extent.
Witness my 10 month old crawling up the slide:
Apologies for the sideways video and lack of sound. My little point-and-shoot camera takes pretty crappy video but that's all I had with me.
