Outside my window...

Our computer sits in front of a large, double window that overlooks our patio and backyard. I like that I can sit here and still enjoy what goes on outside.

Jason has been pushing Marilyn and Ava in their swings--something that they will con him into doing for a lot longer than he planned. Next, I watched them fill up a big hole that our dog made--Mari was so cute with her tiny red shovel her daddy bought from Lowe's. Of course, Mousse is at their heels with every move they make, just dying for someone to notice him and throw his tennis ball...again. Ava just discovered the "MAMA ♥S DADDY" I wrote on the patio with sidewalk chalk. She thinks I'm the best mom ever (her words) since I know how to draw "hot scotch" squares. I am pretty amazing... Liv will be home soon. She will walk in that door, make a straight line for me and hug me tight. I love this predictable part of her.

It's lunch time now, so I'm being summoned to whip up some turkey sandwiches with cheddar cheese. After that, it will be nap time and I'll get to do some more painting or maybe some sewing. Either way, know that I'm enjoying my simple day.
I hope you do, too.
