Our Perfect Day

Yesterday it was 85 degrees here. In the late afternoon it had cooled down a bit so I took the kids out to play. First I had to take Carmen's adorable outfit off. They "mowed" the grass and just ran aroung the yard having a wonderful time. Gabriel worked on his golf swing and they both enjoyed examining things in the yard. Later it was time to come in a have a drink. A bit later the sun had gone down and the moon was so beautiful through the trees that I had to capture it as well. If you enlarge it you can see it even better. It was such a fun day that I wanted to share.

Ahhh. Isn't Georgia weather great? Not! I'm not ready for 85 degree weather! Then again it supposed to be 59 here tomorrow. Can't even make up it's mind!

The kids look wonderful and looks like they did have a perfect day!

We're all sporting pink sun burned noses here (Lilburn, GA) from riding our bikes all day yesterday! I love the changeable March weather in GA!

Great pictures, thank you for sharing!

Don't you love weather in the 80's. It has been nice here in OK also. We had our Goddaughter who is 12, &our nephews 10 & 4 all weekend and they played outside the whole time. I now wish I would have taken pic's. My Goddaughter has the same head full of curly hair that your son has. No matter how long it gets it is so curly it still looks short. She is going out this afternoon to practive her golf swing with my DH. All weekend I kept thinking " you know this time next year there will be 4 kids here for Spring Break" Can't wait to get a Guatemalan princess home!

We got a small taste of spring here in WI on Saturday. Ava loves to be outside *YEA* cause that is where we are all summer! I love those warm days (all relative depending on location).

Carmen and her big bro looked like they had a blast!

Carmen and Gabriel are adorable -- Isn't this weather crazy? not that I mind, but...It looks like you definitely had a fun time. I love their lawnmowers!

Aren't days like your perfect day wonderful? We have had nice weather (for MN) lately also. We have gone to the park a couple of times and had fun. THEN AGAIN, today we got 8 inches of snow!! We are going to go out and enjoy the snow today, though! Sarah has never made a snowman and today is a perfect snowman kind of day! She couldn't walk earlier in the snow season and then we have lost all the snow we had!
Your kids are cuties!

I have really come to value those wonderful, ordinary days, when we just spend time together as a family doing everyday things--what fun to get to play outside!

Your children are really growing! Thanks for sharing their pics.
