Today was mostly spent outside, at the request of Joe. We started around 8am. While Julie and Clara stayed indoors (it was a bit chilly in the early hours) Joe and Ted went all around the yard and dug out the dandelions ("lil ellow owers"), Joe went on the slide, played with the hose and watering can, found the rake to push around, and finished with a wagon ride around the neighborhood. On the wagon ride we met Sarah and Graham who had a similar start to their day - must be something in the air. We got a reprieve with nap time, but upon waking from said nap, Joe spotted his shoes on the ground and immediately asked, "outside?" We tried to amuse ourselves on the porch, but he wanted the real outdoors. So the whole family went outside. Julie and Clara (in the Moby wrap) picked a chair to settle into, while Joe went back to the same wonders from the morning (he is taking a lap around the garden in this picture). We managed to get Joe to agree to eat dinner inside and off to his bath and bed, but dreams of the outside are being had for sure!

In our house, those lil ellow owers are called dandywines, and if Joe would like to come to our yard and do some digging he is welcome to call them zinnias or begonias or whatever; we could use the help.
