Today was an amazingly beautiful day so the kids and I set out for adventures in our own backyard. It was soooooo sunny today and warm that it certainly didn't feel like England so we had to soak it up. Well I didn't want the kids to soak up too much sun so we got out the tent Addison had gotten for her birthday. The two of them loved playing inside it and enjoying a few snacks. 
We also spread out a big blanket out on the grass . I sat and looked at cookbooks oddly enough while my little ones played about.
The neighborhood kids where having a blast because this was their last day off before going back to school and they were having water fights and all sorts of fun. Some of the boys caught on that they could make a little extra pocket money by offering to wash cars. I was a bit skeptical at first but then were actually doing a pretty good job. They asked me to come and inspect, but then made me leave because they had a surprise. I was a bit confused but I went along with it. Well the big surprise was that after they cleaned and dried off my car they chucked a huge load of flower blossoms that fell off the tree next to our drive onto the bonnet (hood) off the car. Ahh...hold on boys...I asked if they were going to get rid of the flowers now that I gave them a couple of pounds already. They did get most of them back off but I just laughed and shook my head.
