This afternoon, the kids and I worked our way to the park across the street after school was over. It was just too nice outside to do homework inside today.
Reese looked so adorable doing her homework on the park table that I sat across from her snapping pictures for a while before sneaking a peak at what she was writing.
And when I saw what she was writing, of course I had to snap a few pictures of that, too. Who knew that she liked me so much??
Apparently, I am pretty darn nice.
After homework time was over, the kids ran off to play. I brought my book so that I could leisurely read….and my mega-zoom lens so that I could capture pictures like this while I was sitting on the other side of the park.
I don’t know if it had anything to with the sun this afternoon or this hunka-hunka boy showing me his muscles, but my heart was feeling pretty full by the time we headed home.

The muscle shots cracked me up, too. He kept showing me his muscles and posing for the camera. He’s so proud.
Oooh. Sneaky thought. As far as I know she wasn’t in any trouble. I think she was just feeling unusually generous and grateful after I let her do her homework at the park. I mean, how cool is HER MOM?
It was a great afternoon, but unlike the kids, I kept my jacket on. 60 is still a little chilly for me, even with the sun shining. :)
The snow is almost completely gone…only those big piles in the shade are left. The sun does wonders!
Woohoo! I’m getting so excited about it (gotta get my butt in gear to get my class finished, though).
Isn’t it WONDERFUL? We are enjoying every second of sunshine!
I will! Hopping over to visit you now! :)
Don’t you love it when kids are SWEET and loving to mom?! I need to hold on to these moments, because they seem to be fewer and farther between now that they’re getting older!
Aww…thanks! I think we’re gonna have to do homework outside more often from now on!
After she had written the letter, I looked over her homework and found the instructions: “Write a letter to one of your favorite fairy tale characters….” She was about the erase her letter to me, but I quickly stopped her and told her I’d get a new paper for the homework.
Strangely, my older kids never write those kind of letters for homework anymore. I’m enjoying this while I can!
These photos are awesome. That last one cracked me right up, but of course I loved the letter!

I need to start making my kids write me nice letters too.
Was she in trouble? ;)

Take care.
Have a great Wednesday!

Awwwww! That is so SWEET! Princess Nagger loves it when the weather is nice and actually looks forward to when she has writing homework so she can do it out on her play set. A park would be even better! :)

Awww, what a tough looking tyke. I love it when kids write all kinds of sweet letter and when they grow up they will vehemently deny writing something so cheezy.
