Front Porch Sittin'

Yesterday morning Markus and I decided to take advantage of the nice morning weather and sit on the front porch. I commented that I needed to trim the bushes, and he replied "It's okay Mommy, I'll do it!"....

He mostly trimmed the flowers off the top and then noticed the paint I had brought out. So I set him up with his own.

It really was very relaxing.

Once Markus had finished, he showed me that he had made our family. He then asked how to spell our names, and without asking what the letters looked like, he proceeded to write them! Some of them were backwards or a little smooshed, but otherwise he did it!

I said we should clean up and make lunch, and he said "Oh, I'll do that!". Then he did!

I finished painting this year's stepping stone.

Then we went to pick up Joli. It was quite peaceful!
