The sun is shining in Seattle today & the temps are warm. The older boys are excited to be wearing shorts to school again! We are suppose to have these warmer temps for a couple days!!

Zach, Ethan and I took advantage of the weather played outside today. You can't really tell from the picture but Ethan is coming down with a cold & not feeling real great. Shortly after the picture, he went inside for a very long nap!

Zach is busy playing on our play structure with his new Star Wars Destroyer Druid from Target. I have been trying to teach him some sense of money value. He helps me do chores around the house & I give him misc. change. Once he fills up a little container that he has, he is allowed to go to the store and get a new Star Wars figure. Today was the day that he got to pick one out & he was so excited!

When Nate and Josh came home, Zach couldn't wait to tell them that he got the Destroyer Druid. He explained that it is very, very, very special & that Nate and Josh could not play with it. (That comes from our sharing rule...the boys know that most toys need to be shared but that each boy can pick some "special" toys that do not have to be shared). Anyway, Nate asks to see this "very, very, very special" new guy. It is SO special, that Zach can not find it & really does not even seem that concerned with the fact that he can't find it...that is right, in a matter of hours Zach has lost his "very, very, very special" new Star Wars Destroyer Druid!
