We had such a great day going on. I got to leave work early. We were surprised with happy hour at Dairy Queen and got half off our treat order. Lily had a good day at school.
Since we are finally having decent weather in Indiana, we went to the park.
The kids were running and climbing. Really having a great time.
Then, we went to explore the gazebo…

Redbox gave us a free game rental code. We picked Just Dance 4.
Lily was rocking it to Skrillex.
Navy was waving a Wii remote with no batteries.
I know what we are going to be doing.on rainy Spring days to burn off energy…
I don’t mind fundraisers. I know that the money goes towards things the kids want and need at school (like playground equipment and special events prizes).
I’m rather frustrating when we have so many fundraisers. The school year started with Gold Canyon candles. We had Girl Scout cookies for two months. Plus, there is Market Day every month, and the monthly specials (cookies, pies) for that.
So, when Lily brought this home the other day, I decided that we were opting out. We’ve done our fair share of fundraising!
Yet, I still looked at the catalog because I’m a sucker like that.
Happy Earth Day!
We celebrated Earth Day by outside.
The kids dug in the dirt looking for creepy crawlies. Lily found worms and roly poly bugs. Navy held a worm for the first time.
Navy’s bath water was a brownish-gray when he was done. Lily had to rerun her bath water, and there’s still specks of dirt in her hair!
Bed time came, which gives me a chance to read Twitter to catch up on news and the ramblings of people I follow. Lots of tweets on the Boston Bombings and Canadian terror plot.
Then, there was something on clean water in India.
My initial thought was, “We poop in water cleaner than they drink!”
It made me feel very grateful and guilty. I take clean water for granted. We use it for everything without a second thought.
Cooking and drinking.
Washing clothes and dishes.
Baths, showers, and the restroom.
Playing.
I can’t imagine my kids drinking water that will most likely make them sick. When our water isn’t safe, it’s all over the news not to drink it. Just a bit much to wrap my head around when it’s something so readily available.
So, even if you never donate a dime to an organization that is trying to help in India or countries like it, be grateful that we have clean water available at our fingertips.
Navy’s expression says it all.
