The weekend was one that was high on desire and low on accomplishment. We had some walks around the neighborhood, but did not make it to any of the hiking trails in the area. The ground is mostly exposed and the snow is only still in the deep shadow areas. Sophia played with the neighbor girl for most of Saturday afternoon. We spent the day putzing in the yard, although it was too wet for any real spring cleaning. Lisa did manage to loose her wedding ring while picking up sticks and then miracalously find it on Sunday morning. Saturday evening we had dinner with friends and Merrick showed his developing monsterness. His attitude is playful, but he is really pushing buttons, as evidenced by the picture (he was told to eat in the kitchen). A small fire to burn some brush, combined with a soccer game that turned into a baseball game. Sophia was board with baseball and Merrick quickly turned it into hockey, either out of boardom or necessity--the ball is much easier to hit when it is on the ground rather than in the air.
Sophia had a birthday party on Sunday for one of her school friends, but she did manage to pull out her first tooth just before we headed over to the party. We were a little late but well worth the new milestone. The tooth fairy is prepared and will give her a gold presidential coin tonight. Then I suspect we will spend most of tomorrow trying to tear her bed apart to find it.
