Absolute Beautiful Day

Today was gorgeous - absolutely gorgeous outside. The sun was shining, it was nice and warm. We had a great day. We spent the morning building houses and puppies out of blocks. (The puppies were Ethan's idea and design. They were cute.) We also spent the morning cleaning...after Ethan decided to do some business in the dressing room upstairs. And Marcus, being the competitive soul that he is, had to upstage his older brother by taking off his diaper and rubbing the contents of said diaper (and his bum) on the couch. That was fun.

After we took Alyssa to school, we dropped off her registration forms at the Mid-Columbia Parent Partnership in Kennewick, where Alyssa will (kind of) be going to school next year. We've officially decided to homeschool, and that was the first real step in making that happen. MCP is a program that offers classes and activities twp or three days a week to suplement homeschoolers and give them a chance for social opportunities. They have art classes, acting classes, science, Spanish, and a ton of other fun things. We're really excited about it.

We spent the next couple of hours trying to find sandals for the kids, and we found a lot of cute ones, but not in the right sizes.

Then we picked up Alyssa and headed to Christina's house so the kids could play in the sprinklers with their cousins. We had a wonderful time. Everyone got wet and muddy, there were very few arguments, and everyone was happy most of the time.
