Trampoline

So, we decided to buy something that I swore I'd never buy for my children. A TRAMPOLINE!! And I swore up and down that those silly lookin' nets for it were even worse lookin' than the trampoline itself. Well, lo and behold, we succumbed to my children's LOVE of trampolines and bought one. It has literally been heaven itself come down for my two girls. With spring and warm weather here, there isn't a day (unless it's really cold and rainy) that they don't get on the thing. I LOVE IT and it gets in a little exercise!

Spring Fun

Lydia was dying to have corn on the cob last night for dinner. She practically begged me if she could help shuck (sp?) it. So we were shucking away and suddenly she said, "Mom, I LOVE shuckin' carn," with the funniest West Virginia accent I've ever heard! West Virginia is rubbing off on her, I guess. It was so hilarious. After that, and after me busting out laughing, she said, "Oh, I guess I forgot how to say corn." It was really funny. She was so proud of her shucked corn.

I love Lydia and I LOVE springtime when we can be outside instead of inside! Here's a picture of the leaves on one of the trees in our backyard and some of our flowers. I've never been so happy to see a green leaf in my life=). YEAH for spring. I'm so excited! Do you like my dandelions in the garden? It gives it a more wild touch.

The girls come up with so many ideas to make the hills on our yard advantageous to their play. Here is the latest:
