Sunshiney Day

Whomever was praying for sun and warm weather in CA, I would just like to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Seriously, after having rain off and on for the past week or so, the drastic change to sunshine and 70 degree weather has been FABULOUS. Keegan especially has been enjoying it (granted he loves any weather, but when it's this sunny he knows there is no way I can say no to going outside). I wish that I had taken pictures of him from Saturday after he spent an hour "helping" his dad plant our avocado tree, but unfortunately I was laughing too hard to remember the camera and all I could think about was getting my muddy baby washed off before he tracked half of the dirt from our backyard into the house. I guess that's what I get for wanting an hour to go and get a pedicure and have some "me" time and for leaving Keegan with his dad unsupervised. Needless to say it was an hour well-spent digging in the dirt and riding around in the wheelbarrow, if you ask AJ and Keegan.

These pictures were taken today after I let Keegan out into the backyard to play for a while before I dragged him hither and yon while I ran some errands this afternoon. The hose has become one of his favorite toys to play with, topped only by the squirt bottle, which he has become a MENACE with (just ask his Grandma Leach). He'll squirt you, giggle and laugh hysterically and then run away, waiting for you to chase him. It's pretty entertaining...and totally his dad's fault, since AJ introduced him to the squirt bottle to begin with. I have to admit, little boys are seriously THE BEST!!!

* sorry these are blurry, but it's hard to get a little boy in motion to stop and wait for the camera to take a picture.

I think it's time to get Keegan a sandbox to play in...or something he can dig in the dirt with other than his hands.
