After a lovely 20 days of vacation, Derek goes back to work tonight. He flipped his sleep schedule back yesterday, so he went to bed as usual at 2pm today. We had hoped to check out Houghton's Pond, a local swimming hole, this morning but the weather didn't cooperate and it was raining when I woke up.
By mid-morning everyone needed to get out of the house so we ran to Target instead. I have been continuing my power walking exercise plan (I walked 5 miles yesterday!), so I wanted to get a few more pieces of exercise clothes. The kids ate pb&j and were great little shoppers, as usual.

Even though it was 84 degrees and very humid from the rain, we still went on our 2+ mile walk when S&Z woke up from their nap. I had promised them that they could do some painting on the back deck after our walk, so we headed back outside after we got home.
I asked them if they wanted to paint with their shirts off or wear their smocks, and they voted smocks. They often wear these at the Friday playgroup, so I wasn't too surprised at their choice.
They had so much fun and they painted for over an hour!!
They each made two paintings, and were excited to show off the finished works!
SILAS-
And ZOE-
We recently hung an art wire in the hallway, so we had a great spot to dry them! I've got a few ideas about how to use these as a background for some photographs I want to frame for their room - I'll post pictures if I pull it off!
All in all just a regular day....
Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!
