All in a day's play

We've been hard at work with chores lately around home, so today we played a little hooky. We just played and played and played. And it felt good.

There was a lot of slipping...

and sliding...

and splashing...
as well as cookie baking (and dough-eating)...

and dress-up.
This photo makes for good leverage when Evan's a teenager. Since our daughter does not have a little sister, she has to make do with her little brother. Obviously, her big brothers are not as compliant.

At least she let him wear a police helmet. :)

And to end the day, sparklers and a sleepover...
