another wet one.

unfortunately, today was a day that justin had to work.

i hate spring neighborhood clean-up time.

he works next saturday, too.

thankfully after his nap,

he agreed to help me with some sanding projects.

the door will be emily's headboard soon.

he tackled the front of a large drawer and an old header, too.

while we were in the garage,

it started raining.

(our driveway is lined with helicopters. emily hates that they won't fly when they are wet!)

the kids wanted to play in the puddles,

but it had cooled down outside.

i talked them into chalk, instead.

and jumping off of things.

it was really a chance for me to practice with the

new lens.

i still have kinks to work out with it,

so i'm all for practice time.

with justin's car outside receiving a free car wash,

i opted to take a few shots of it, as well.

(sitting in the backseat, taking advantage of his cage, before he moved it back into the garage.)
