Whether we were on foot or on wheels, it was a delightful way to spend a beautiful evening!

After we picked Grace up from camp (which she is adoring) we stopped by opening day of the Wayland Summer Farmer's Market. It was a gloriously rainy day, but that just added to the fun of being back at the farmer's market! The girls, who have clearly never met a muddy puddle that they haven't jumped in, got right down to splashing, which brought many smiles and compliments of how great it is to see kids being kids! It was fun to watch all the vendors and farmer's watch the girls having such fun in these fabulously large puddles. The smiles on their face just said it all. I am glad that we could bring a little sunshine into an otherwise grey day!

Our weekend started with a trip to Tower Hill Botanic Garden. It was the first time we had been there. What a beautiful place!
On Sunday, Dave's parents wanted to go to OSV for the yummy Sunday Brunch they have. We headed out that way, had a delicious meal, walked around and then said our good-byes from there.
"Happy birthday, Luke!"
And Memorial Day itself brought with it another BBQ that evening! It was a great way to end our adventure filled weekend!
We hope you all had a wonderful long weekend, too!

A few weeks ago we changed the evening routine. After a good few weeks of endless trips up and down the stairs to calm down the party that seemed to be taking place in the girls room at bedtime each night, Dave and I decided that we needed to change things up. Instead of putting them to bed when we think the girls are ready we now put them to bed when we know they are ready. This one change lead to a few other things changing (like the TV staying off from the time we make dinner until after the girls go to bed) and brought with it a lovely new evening rhythm. Some nights we play games, some nights the Legos are brought out, some nights the dollhouse is played with, some nights everyone finds their own thing to do, and some nights (like what's pictured above) it's all about creating. The evening mural was one of those simple projects that turned into something so much more. They easily worked on it for over an hour and could have kept going except for the fact that there was some serious yawning and eye rubbing going on. The simple act of getting out some paper and crayons, of seeing what each person would contribute to this lovely mural was enough to quiet the sillies and let the girls become ready for sleep. Once they were done creating for the night it was up to bed for stories and snuggles. It truly is delightful how one simple change has lead to even more love, peace and joy in our little world!
