Today is a beautiful day for many reasons. First, the sun is shining and it's warming up! We've had so much rain over the past few months that our usually sunny skies have been hidden behind streams of rain and dark, stormy clouds and cold temperatures (yes, it's all relative...cold here is anything below 60...call me a weather snob).
In truth, I enjoy the break from the endless days of sun...they give me a reason to cuddle up with the kids, watch a movie, or work on an indoor project without feeling like we should be on a bike ride, swimming in the pool or hiking through the parks. I love stormy clouds and weather, and I miss the storms we used to have while growing up in Oklahoma...loud claps of thunder, strong winds, and even an occasional hailstorm. It's just not the same here in California.
But, hey, today's the day for the kids to get outside and play! Our big gift this year was a 14 foot trampoline in the backyard...bounce, bounce, bounce out that energy! They have more energy than I know what to do with, and they start bouncing off the walls when trapped inside for longer than say, 10 minutes? So having the opportunity to get out and play makes the day just BEAUTIFUL!
Here's a photo of the boys on the trampoline eating their favorite snack...frozen blueberries. Just yummy frozen blueberries by the bowlful! The only downside is their stained hands and faces. A small price to pay for a bowl full of happiness and health!
