How Cool is This?
The boys were bored out of their minds so we headed to Walmart to buy sand for their sandbox. Who knew that Crayola makes colored play sand? I think we just dug in the dirt when I was a kid.

The DMV
This morning I schlepped all the way to the other end of town to the DMV to get my driver's license renewed. After I got there I realized I needed another form of ID with my address on it in addition to my driver's license. The nice lady at the desk suggested I go get a copy of my voter's registration at the courthouse, which was much closer than going home. When I went in the Voter's Registration office to get the card, they asked for an ID. So I showed them my driver's license. Does anyone else find this ironic?

Golden Touch
Cabell County Courthouse. We are a relatively poor county compared to a lot of the country. A few years ago someone donated money to paint the courthouse dome with gold leaf. Quite a stink at the time, since the county doesn't have enough money to fix the roads. But it sure does look nice!

Playing Catch Up
It's been way too long since Eliza Jean has had a picture posted here. She and her mama have both been sick and we haven't seen her since forever! I can't believe how big she is getting and how much her personality is emerging. Sweet baby!

Cowboy Hats
You may have thought these were Easter baskets, but you would have been wrong. I was told in no uncertain terms that these were cowboy hats.

Fruity Refreshment
The weather was perfect today, so we went to dinner with friends at a restaurant with outdoor seating. Shown is delicious sangria and Blue Moon beer with a slice of orange.

Red Bud
Most of my pics lately are kids or flowers, but I'm having a hard time keeping this PaD thing going with all the other stuff going on in my life right now. So bear with me.
By the way, I wonder why they call this Red Bud, when it is really more like fuschia.

Hurry Up!
Ben wandered into the laundry room this morning and realized that his wubbie (translate "lovey") was in the dryer. It's hard to explain to an almost 3 year old that he has to wait till it is dry.

Cherry Blossom Time
One of my favorite places in my hometown of Huntington, WV is Ritter Park, and one of the best times of year to enjoy it is now. The cherry trees will be followed by dogwoods in a few weeks. The weather was perfect today and we had a great time walking along the creek, watching squirrels and ducks.
