She loves chalk!

Sierra doesn't always dress weather appropriately--or rather, listen when I tell her it's cool and she needs a sweatshirt, so the other day she got cold and went back in to put more layers on. This is how she came out (and again didn't want her picture taken)--striped Christmas pants, sandals, mittens, flowered dress, sun hat.

Sierra was pouting because she didn't want her picture taken, and Ethan couldn't hear me tell him to smile.

So yesterday Andre became even more creative with the kids and the mowing process--he strapped in their camping chairs to the little trailer we have, gave them each their blanket and bear, and away they went! They loved it, and he got some mowing done.

The kids love to ride with Andre on the mower, but there's not much room for them and steering. So last week he tried putting them in the backpack, which worked until he got too tired (Sierra's a little big for it!). I heard them both singing for all they were worth, different songs since they both had earpieces. Sorry for the blurry picture--should have had them stop--but he looked so determined! :)

I had to find something to keep Ethan out of the dogs' water dish, and since we don't have a kiddie pool yet for the summer, this tub has been great. I just keep it filled so that Ethan has a constant supply. :)
