Water Fun

We are loving our new townhouse, although I must admit not everything is still put where I want it. We have a few things still in containers and there are several piles around the house that need to be sorted threw, and then there is the "decorating." But all this comes with the territory of moving. Or at least when you move with 2 small children.

I have been working on Thomas' room some more and I need to make Gracie a new bedspread and matching curtains (even though I made her some less than a year ago!) as she wants her room ALL pink. I have a few more ideas for the kitchen and living room, and I am hoping that Grandpa will help make some bookshelves for our library/office.

All that being said, this week was very neat as most things are settled and Gracie has gotten to spend quite a bit of time outside. We also got a ton of cards in the mail and we are so thankful to everyone who sent them! It was such a great feeling when we finally got the keys to our new mailbox and there was a pile of love from friends and family.

One of the best parts about this new space is the yard. It may not be much, but it is ours and Gracie has found plenty of time and energy to use it. She is also sharing with Daddy who has used our small space to fix us 2 grilled meals this week which were super yummy.

Thomas got his first stint in the backyard this afternoon. It is unbelievably hot here and I told Gracie we could do water table (as I found 2 empty containers). She loved splashing in the water, and so did he!! I don't have but the one picture that Gracie snapped for me, but he really liked putting his hand in the water and grabbing at the boats. Which is funny since he still screams his head off for a bath.

It is supposed to be hot again tomorrow, so I will likely let them go back out and play with the water toys again. Oohhhh, maybe this year we can let them have a small plastic pool to play in!!!

Oh, the joys of a yard. It may sound simple to all of you--but it is heaven to us :)
