So, Jodie bought a new toy for Myers today... a bubble blower. So, at 10pm tonight, Myers decided he'd be in melt down mode if he didn't have bubbles NOW. So we opened it up, added bubbles, and gleeful anarchy ensued. I have a feeling he'll be awake till we're out of bubbles!
By the way... the pictures don't capture this, but... it's close enough to bed time that Myers isn't wearing pants!

The Treehouse
The past two days have been designated Lombardo treehouse work days. In preparation for the kiddos birthday party, we've been, for the lack of a better catchphrase, pimpin' out the clubhouse as a mutual birthday present for Bailey and Myers. We've supplied the funding and Jodie's dad has supplied the labor. We've been adding monkey bars, climbing wall, and swingset, topping off the sand, taking care of some demolition (removing the walls and adding railing), and now we're getting ready to add a new metal roof (so I can go sit out in the clubhouse while it's raining.
We spent all day Saturday and Sunday working on the yard and getting the treehouse ready. Almost done!
By the way, Bailey took most of the pictures in the slide show... that accounts for some funky angles and awesome perspectives :)

Cades Cove
We took the beautiful weather on Tuesday as our opportunity to try to get the ball rolling on this year's batch of Get Out More activities. After rushing home from a hectic day of school, we celebrated Bailey's spring break by heading to Cades Cove to picnic at the picnic area. In spite of the beautiful weather, the Cove wasn't very crowded. Hitting the loop around 6 was perfect, as deer are crepuscular animals (most active around dawn and dusk). The grand total of critters seen ended up at 126 deer and a few handfuls of turkeys.
