Fun in the sun

The last few days have been absolutely beautiful here. So, the kids and I have spent quite a bit of time outside.

Yesterday, Grace helped me transplant a couple of plants.

She does everything in style, you know...

And today, the kids had a ball running through the sprinkler! They were having so much fun this afternoon, that they decided it should continue after supper. I was cleaning the kitchen when I heard the water come on in the back yard... I was about to go out and raise cain, since I had told Grace that it was getting too cool to get wet, but then I figured, what the heck, they're kids and they aren't doing any harm.

Potty training continues to go well for Tristan. We even ventured to church yesterday without a diaper on, and he did great! They say that a child will do it when he/she is ready, and it's absolutely true - he let me know long before I had even considered it. Now, if we could only convince him that Mommy doesn't need to clean up his stinky messes anymore we'd really be on the right track! Grace is super cute when Tristan goes "potty"... She runs in the bathroom and says "Tristan, you peed all by yourself! Great job!" Gotta love toddler talk!
