I can feel the Earth smiling.

Owen was so excited for Earth Day yesterday. He has his own calendar which came with special holiday stickers, one of which was Earth Day. He has been counting down the days to Earth Day for a while and when I explained what it meant, I told him one thing people could do to celebrate was to pick up garbage. So yesterday, we picked up litter around our neighborhood. He was so excited to collect all the litter. A few highlights included a McDonald's cup and gum wrappers. As he was picking things up, he said "I think I can feel the Earth smiling." So cute.

Today was a beautiful day, filled with beautiful events. After getting Owen from school, the boys and I went out for lunch and took a nice scenic drive to Stillwater. I was hoping Walter would fall asleep on the way, so I took the long route. However, he stayed wide awake to enjoy the views. We went to the uber cool Teddy Bear Park to play and then went to our uber cool friend's house for playgroup. Ruby & Rex live on a farm with sheep and chickens, which the kids got to feed and chase. The boys had so much fun exploring and playing with their friends. I enjoyed the time with my friends and even scored some fresh eggs! Thanks, Annie.
