The boys will be home any time now and there are some things I’d like to get done after they get here.  I’ve slept pretty much all day and so I’m built up my energy reserves.

I’d like to take the boys for a hike, assuming that Emmett’s feet are once again compatible with shoes and socks.  

I need to get some yardwork done and that’s something the boys can help me out with.  At the same time, they can look for and collect the bugs they find along the way. The boys have really been into watching bugs lately.  

They gently collect them bare handed and put them in the big red tub.  

Emmett especially likes to study the way they move, eat and live before carefully putting them back.  

It’s really fun watching the boys explore the world and even if that’s all we do tonight, I’m perfectly content with that.
