Springtime play

Marilyn has really enjoyed playing outside this year. We have tried to make the backyard hours of fun so Marilyn will be entertained here when Austin is born.

Early this season I went garage sale hunting and found a cute climber/slide.


Marilyn LOVES being in the water. Her daddy usually takes her to the big pool on Sundays but recently we have set up the little pool at the house.





Her newest toy has been a big sandbox but before we could convince daddy that it would be fun. Marilyn had to show him how much fun it was to play in the sand table. She especially loved spreading the sand around the deck and on her picnic table.






Marilyn has really started to show her artistic side. She enjoys coloring and loves stickers. She was serenading me with a song and clapping. And she and her daddy were having fun covering her hands with foil.







Mothers day


We had a wonderful mothers day. Paul fixed us breakfast and we went off to pick out flowers for the backyard. Marilyn was all dressed up to help plant in her new boots and garden tools. She gave me the gift of her pressence for mothers day and didn't take a nap. FUN!!! Here are a couple shots of the pots we made and one of Marilyn in her boots.
