Great Expectations

What a great day it was, huh? We spent almost the whole day outside. This morning after church we went for a long walk around a nearby lake. Then after the kids snoozed we headed back out to wash the cars and play in the yard. Patrick has been begging me since it got cold to take his shorts back out so he can be like "Quiet Rule", so today it was finally warm enough that I consented.

Our older neighbor came over to chat while we were outside and commented on Patrick's shorts. She said that it was still too chilly for her to wear shorts since when you get old, your blood doesn't pump as quickly and forcefully to keep you warm....to which Patrick responded "When I get old, I'm going to drink beer and chew red gum."

We're so proud.
