We had a fun family day today. The weather was so wonderful which enabled us to spend most of it outside, together! I snuggled in bed with Daddy Piper for a bit and he snuck out to let me get some extra sleep. Only 30 minutes later I was wide awake having felt so great like I slept for a month. Sometimes naps are like that for me - the 30 minute ones are usually the best. I got up and started my coffee and we walked out to tend the garden. It is looking amazing after the rain and cooler days we have had lately. We have onions that have sprouted along with some other things that I am not sure of. They might be weeds growing but who knows. I am not real good at this gardening thing yet : -) I was able to sit outside and read my paper (no coupons - so sad!) and enjoy the fresh air and family time.
For lunch we had the yummy pizza I already posted about. Goodness that was yummy. I finished it off with some peach cobbler : -) I got a little nap in this afternoon while not one, not two but all three of my babies were down for rest time. J napped in his crib instead of the queen bed he is loving these days. He has rolled out of the bed once though and I wanted him in his crib. Unfortunately, he sleeps way better in the bed.
Tonight was more outside time including the stone laying project, gardening and in general fun time for us all. I enjoy the outdoors now as an adult and want my kids to enjoy it as well.
More to write but not tonight - my own prince charming is awaiting my assistance in a screen rolling project thing for J's window!!

The kids spent some time running through the sprinklers this morning and were cold so they chose to lay on the warm sidewalk to warm up - clad only in their undies!
Warming up quite nicely!
S was contemplating the meaning of life when I caught this look on his face or maybe he was just looking up at the military jets that kept flying over our part of the world this weekend. Daddy told them the jets were up there to remind people (possible bad people) that our military was alert and ready to protect this holiday weekend.
This handsome boy is my son. I am amazed and delighted by him more and more each day.
The babies of mine (2 of my wonderful 3) love to dig in the dirt. They were a big help to Daddy today spreading out sand and delivering more sand (more pics on that in a minute).
The beautiful girl is not into my picture taking these days so she gives me these horrible faces in hopes that I will quit taking her picture - not happening sweetie!!!
Daddy killed a scorpion while laying this stone in the backyard. I would feel bad but those things are horrible little creatures that hurt when they sting you!!
S helping Daddy by delivering sand from the sandbox.
I got a kinda smile while she was loading up her dump truck.
"It's too heavy Mama". Well honey - drive the truck instead of trying to carry it! Of course Mama ran right over and picked it up for her but only after taking a picutre : -)
L dumping her sand for Daddy.
J freshly awake from his nap and ready to play outside!!
J can now stand on his own. He has cut another took for total of 3. His diapers are more wet these days thanks for pumping extra milk and the introduction of formula, which just kills me. He only gets about 2 ounces of it a day but still - WAHH!! I don't want to quit nursing. He may be my last baby I get to nurse (not if I have anything to say about it though!!).
