Mike plays a huge role in our home and he interacts with the children every single day. Some days he can more than others BUT he always has some amount of time for them. And me! :)
With the tempts being in the 40's and 50's this week, the kids have played outdoors a lot!!! The other night while I was in the kitchen fixing supper, the kids were outside and it was so quiet inside! I almost forget how it feels to send them outside without layers of clothing on and hoping they don't come back inside frozen!!! It's been a real treat to have them all roam the outside again!
Hadassah bounces balls back and forth the front walks over and over again! She hums and sings as she bounces the soccer ball or basketball. They as soon as Mike comes home, she finds the volleyball and wants to bump with him. He does. They bump back and forth while they chat.
Then Matthew goes running for his new "in training" baseball glove! Mike and Matthew play catch every single night and even though they simply enjoy this, it really helps gets both of them warmed up for the ball season!
Ashlyn rides her little pink bike (thanks to John Mike and Mim) around the drive way. Or blows bubbles. Her latest is she wants to play catch too with daddy! They get the volleyball and bounce it back and forth. She feels important and loves all the time Mike spends with her.
I knew that when the weather conditions break and it gets warmer outside, we would all be outside to enjoy it! With the snow still melting, it's making lots of muddy shoes and boots!
After school today, Matthew and Ashlyn went out to the field and came back with mud caked shoes! And jackets and gloves. They all went right into the washer! I may as well get used to seeing muddy boots because when this house remodeling gets under way, it will be one mud hole for awhile! :/
Speaking of housing ... we got our blueprint back from Quality Design. We need to look over all the measurements and if everything is good to go, we give a stamped blueprint to the township. They look over that and if approved, we get our permit! Or I think that's how it goes? This whole project is beyond my expertise!!! I do know for certain that we still have things in the attic that need cleaned out! Maybe we will get to that project on Saturday. I have this and that's that could be put in storage but I still want a cozy house until we really need to pack everything up! We have quit a bit stored already!
This is some of what's been happening evenings here this week!
Matthew is stacking the pavers from the back porch to be used to expand the campfire area. We will get stamp crete with the new house.
