Red Galoshes
The little guy loves his red galoshes. They complete his Captain America costume AND are appropriate for yard work. He helped us rake up nine giant bags of leaves today. The baby helped, too, after she woke up from her nap.
The yard is ready for spring! It's definitely a work in progress, but we are getting there.

Bugs!
Instead of going for a run today, I moved almost fifty 25-pound landscaping blocks from the front yard to a nice pile by the fence in the back. I am TIRED!
Anyway, the first step was to flip all the stone over and give the bugs a chance to get resettled. The little guy had a blast with that part. He didn't help after that, though, it was alllllll me.

Odds and Ends
Somebody didn't take any pictures today while she stayed home with the sick little one. And then she asked me to do the blog for her while she did some "work". So I'll just ramble for a bit.
It's going to be chilly tonight and Em did some research today (while she was supposed to be watching the baby) about how to keep our tender garden sprouts from freezing to death. I wish I had a picture of her in her pink rain slicker, wellies, and running shorts putting 3 blankets over our little raised bed garden in the pouring down rain. Maybe I can get a picture of her hard work before leaving tomorrow.
The baby is seemingly feeling somewhat better. We are going to try to get her to school tomorrow so she doesn't cramp our work routines for the rest of the week.
Alright, I did find an action shot of the boy and his skating lessons. If you look really closely, you might be able to see some light between his skates and the ice. He is jumping!

This and That
The baby played outside while I raked about half the yard today. At the halfway point, she got a bit fussy and I was plumb tuckered out so we called it a day.
Eric and the little guy got home mid-afternoon, so the little dude and I made some brownies from his new cookbook. I tweaked the recipe a bit (due to lacking ingredients) and am not sure they taste the way they should, but they are delicious! Here's the proud chef posing with his creation!
