Slugs and snails and.....

....puppy dog tails.
That's what little boys are made of!

We have four little boys.
They are all slightly quirky and more than a bit ornery and thoroughly adorable. Each in their own, unique way!
A couple of weeks ago I had three of them over for the afternoon.
It was a sunny day and the air was balmy, a promise of spring to come.
We blew bubbles on the deck and ate marshmallows.



We rode scooters.


Then we went for a walk.
We sat on the path by the new traffic island.
We ate marshmallows and waved at all of the trucks and cars that went by.
Some of them studiously ignored us.
But most of them smiled with delight and waved back at us.
How could they not?

Then we walked to the fire station and watched the firemen spraying water at their practice structure.
Three pairs of tired little legs walked home VERY SLOWLY.
Tommy kept asking, "WHEN WILL WE BE HOME, NANA?"

On Monday, we went to the zoo with Bethany, her four offspring, and Tommy.
We chased children all around the zoo.
We ate elephant ears, and admired the animals.


We walked a long way.
Tommy kept asking, "CAN WE GO HOME NOW, NANA?"
