Art in the backyard

Today I felt like a really good mom. Most days there are the struggles that keep me feeling like I could do so much better, but today was great. It all ended with the kids playing int he backyard while I fixed dinner. They were so content to color, paint and play in the sand. They continued to play until it was time for baths which were needed because Katherine decided to paint herself.

I am so grateful for our backyard, even though there are tons of mosquito's, the shade cover and privacy is wonderful.
