Good Shepherd playground

Another day, another park. This time at the Good Shepherd center, which has a great garden to wander through when you are done with swings. 

                                                                      Climbing!

                                                              Kids in a grotto.

                                                It's the Desi wrestle hug.

Once again we were glad to have friends with which to share our day.

I was trying to think of what I could say as an update and I then I found these photos. They're from a playdate we had before school started. 

We are back into busy calendar mode and I'm equally loving it and feeling slightly stressed by my to-do list. We, collectively and individually, have a lot going on and sometimes our Saturday morning family meeting is dominated by discussion of who needs to where and when. (Not why. We mostly know why, as well as how.)  But all the things we do feel good and important, and we manage to find a balance with a bit of quiet as well. 

Making (and smashing) a sand cake

Sometimes you need to make a sand cake, to celebrate the birthday of your imaginary friends. And then after you carefully spend twenty minutes making the sand cake, what comes next? Smash it as fast as you can!

                              But for now they are content with helping each other to the top of the climbing
                              structure and swinging in tandem.
