We are loving this spring weather! Usually, it jumps from chilly to hot, hot. But this year we can really enjoy the outdoors. I am sorry for those that are still bogged down in cold.
My brother and his wife, left for Mexico to do a triathlon. So, we got to have their kids come play. I decided to let my kids skip school, so we could play all day. I wish I had a picture of their faces when I told them. Shock and Awe!

Cole, Summer, and Meg were my entertaining committee. (We had Isaac's play group also over in the morning, so there were a lot of kids).They organized some fun activities including, a water balloon fight, dodge ball, & "Baby Kate" daycare center.
I'm still trying to win over my niece, Kate. She has never cared much for me. I thought this may be my chance to win her over, but no such luck. I just gave her plenty of space and very little eye contact. Oh and a little treat helped me get close enough to change a diaper and clean her face. Although I was disliked by Kate, little Bret balanced all the rejection out with his spontaneous hugs and kind words.
It was a great day.
