It was a better day. I am not feeling well yet, but I got through the day with saltines and plain rice. Bill got a tremendous amount of work done off of our ongoing to-do list. He finished the painting and mounting of the ironwork for the wall outside.

We tried to enjoy the evening while it is still nice enough to be on the patio.

The boys colored with chalk

The ice cream truck made an appearance

The boys were going to clean up their own mess

…or sit in it

We can’t hang out on the patio without a Brendan selfie

We didn’t want to go in when it was so nice out. So we decided to do the bubble bath outside. The air was warm, but the hose water was not. Bill kindly brought buckets of hot water from the kitchen to make their bath nice.

They crack me up

Our wall has a bunch of solar lights, just bright enough for some “ambiance”.

Trevor has this new trick that he does where he leans way out over the footboard on his bed and opens the top of his dutch door so he can look out. He did this at 5:30 this morning, and he did it about 5 minutes ago as I type. I hope he sleeps well. We all need the rest.
