play

A Spring day drew us out of the house.... well, drew me; i had to threaten The Land & The Sea with no more time on their DS's to get them outside.

In spite of the Draconian means, they ended up enjoying it, taking almost a half hour just to set up their Littlest Pet Shop figures and play sets in the back yard. i couldn't help but think of the times the King and i similarly used our yards as back drops for Star Trek and Star Wars figures. i envied them and eaves dropped on their conversation in order to experience the memory that much more.

When they play together, it gives me hope that they will be good friends. Of course, that changes on a dime, and they lash out at one another for criminal acts such as knocking over a toy.

i am glad to have the yard for them. This is the year i will plan and plant, hoping to turn a very basic grass canvas into one of may colors and textures.

Ensuring there will still be enough room for a kick ball field.
