We had a great day on Saturday (I know I'm late in posting once again BUT only by a few days this time). We spent the morning and afternoon working around the house inside and out. I was actually able to get half of my kitchen cupboards cleaned out and another part of our flower beds cleaned up too!! The boys spent the day outside playing and whittling. Austin and Dean had just done a yearly campout with a program for boys and their dads from our church where Austin earned a Leatherman tool. He is soooo excited about it and whittling. Griffen rediscovered the fun of riding the Scream Machine (big wheel type thing) down the hill from our front yard to the backyard.

Here he comes
The one dark spot on our day was after Austin was a "good" big brother and gave his little brother his old pocket knife. Griffen (after being told to not use it unless he was with mom or dad) couldn't fight temptation and ended up cutting his finger across his knuckle. Thankfully it wasn't too bad. The moment I heard the scream and then Austin running in yelling, "Mom! Griffen hurt himself and it is pouring blood!" was so scary. I was sure he'd done some horrible damage to himself Thankfully, all it took was some pressure, a good tight bandaid, and some neosporin and all is well.
I love sunny days on our deck!
We got to top the beautiful sunny day off with the first campfire of the season. Dean's brother had made a new firepit a little while ago and we got to break it in.
Gotta love s'mores
Finally got a smile out of him
Whittling by the fire
Now I can't wait for summer to begin!
