Outside Day

This morning I had planned on taking the boys to the Wildflower Center. Evan started throwing a fit that he didn’t want to go. I didn’t feel like fighting. I didn’t want to go badly enough to fight for it.

Evan and Noah had an early lunch of eggs and ham. The first batch was blue eggs and ham. Then, Evan wanted more and wanted me to make red eggs and ham. Hey, if he’ll eat it I’ll make them any color.

We spent a lot of the afternoon outside. The boys played while I finished planting the rest of the plants. Evan and Noah liked looking at the different bugs I found. First, I found a little earthworm. Then, I found this other weird looking worm. I think maybe it was some kind of centipede. It was about an inch and a half long, thick, and slimy looking. Evan really enjoyed looking at that one. I was looking down planting and he told me he petted it. He said it felt funny. I told him he just look at it, not touch it. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Oh, we also saw some rolly pollys. Evan and Noah each held one in their hand. Noah thought it was funny when it was crawling up his arm.

We came in for naps. Noah slept and Evan played in the game room.

For dinner we had spaghetti outside. Evan and Noah played more while Morry and I cleaned up.

Morry just left to get pick up Marilyn from the airport. She’ll be here until Monday.
