We recently noticed a different vehicle in the driveway across the street. Turns out it is a painter and he was putting a mural up on their garage. It has been very cool watching the different layers go on. He has probably stopped by 10 different times to add more detail to the garage. (It actually looks like he has one more section...the black strip just below the river. I would think more grass or flowers will go in there.) The boys have really enjoyed watching him and going over there to get a close up view.

Joseph had a Mother's Day tea recently at his preschool. The class sang some songs and then served the mothers cookies and fruit.

Here is a picture of a card he made for me, as well as a small pot of pansies.

This was the inside of the card...complete with Joseph's answers to some questions from his teacher.

The weather has gotten cooler again - perfect for crawling under the blankets and watching a movie! Although we have not been afforded that luxury yet. Maybe this weekend. We have nothing planned for the weekend except church activities! I love the quiet weekends. Lots of r&r.
