rainy days, playgrounds, and kitchen innovations

Simon was destroying everything in sight one day (okay, that's pretty much every day) and driving me crazy and I needed to get him outside. He was happy to put on Elsa's rain gear and splash in the puddles. His big grins and excitement over simple things always makes me smile.

I was so excited to find these cups. The kids are really into using their designated color and I no longer have a counter full of dirty Ikea kid cups at the end of the day. Genius.

 Pretty driveway debris from our tulip poplar tree. 

I loved smelling all the honeysuckle on my morning runs. The paths were lined with it.
