things you can do when you have a backyard:

You can cut some flowers to give your pastor's wife.

You can paint on the picnic table outside and get it everywhere if you want because...well, because it's outside.

You can twirl...

..and you can climb.

And you can hang your clothes to dry after you get in the kiddie pool fully dressed.

You can play in the tent Mommy made on the clothes line out of a sheet.

And you can ride bikes on the deck.  The first time they did this, Natalie said, "look Mom, I turned!" Because on the little patio we had before, there was no turning going on :)

And you can have a picnic lunch under the big tree in your front yard.  We tried to name our tree.  We determined it's a girl tree (because Natalie said so,) but her name is yet undecided. We are open to suggestions.

From our yard to yours, have a Happy Monday :)
