Kitty next door

So the people who moved in under us have cats. They were only allowed to have two in the house so they have the third living on their porch. Rachel loves cats and goes out to play with it all the time. The couple is obviously trying to keep the cat on the porch, they have put up lots of different things so block escape but trying to keep a cat fenced in is pretty futile and the porch is pretty small. Anyway I have to tell Rachel again and again if we see it out you can play with it but we can't entice it out. It's kind of unneighborly.

Has anyone else noticed that the black cats are the sweetest and most tolerant cats. Why does everyone pick on them?

Rain puddles

What kid doesn't like playing in the puddles?

Despite attempts to roll up her pants, they still get wet. Hazel takes matters into her own hands.

And strips down to play some more!

Bluebonnets

They are in bloom. There is a bayou that is filled. Lots of people like to go there to take pictures. Sarah told me and I wanted to check it out. We went together and even though it is like two minutes away Hazel fell asleep. Amazingly when we prodded her awake we still got cuter pictures than Rachel who clams up nowadays. We may try again later. I was starting to sprinkle when we left.

spark easter party

They had a spark Easter party. After making a hat with a bunny they went to play on the nearby playground until the egg hunt was ready. It was really nice outside and they played well.

After they played then it was the hunt. The party was for Rachel, Hazel is not old enough for spark so I just gave her a few eggs I prepared so she would not be left out. Rachel was really quick out of the gate when they said go. She got and egg or two and kept moving. While other stopped to pick up the nearest eggs she just grabbed the big ones and kept moving to the back. It went quick.
