Park, Park

Today Bob read devotions to the kids (Keys for Kids) and we had family prayer. Then I sat the kids down to watch Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends. Um. Convinced, they aren't. lol Gonna have to work on that more, I guess.

After that, I got everyone shod (that was painful) and headed out to the park for an hour with our homeschool friends. I think there were about 10 families there. Just about every boy brought a light saber, a sword, a Nerf gun, or some other kind of weapon. LOL

Headed back to the house and handed off the kids to Bob, smearing some sunscreen on them in the process. He took them to yet another park for James' softball clinic. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. Trees are in bloom. Spring in Michigan is lovely!

The main road in our village is being worked on this week. That means a lot more traffic down OUR road.

Kids and I listened to about 2/3 of The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo in the car on the way to and from Maryann's house. They loved it! I brought it in the house so they can hear the rest of it, maybe tonight. She wrote Because of Winn-Dixie, which you may have heard of. (OK, I had no idea until just now when I googled that Despereaux won the Newbery! Have I been living under a rock!?)

Dan In Real Life is waiting for me at the library. YAY!

Do you like my Shelfari in the sidebar? I think it's rather neat.
