The Joys of Spring!!!

Zahavah and Eli took my Africa Basket and dumped all their toys out and made it their hideaway....hiding from Mommy! I love it when they play well together. Zahavah thinks the dogs need to eat more, so she encourages them. It only works on Twink (this is Kelli in the photo). Twink was eating out of her hand, unfortunately my camera was still in the case. :( We have such great kids! Eli was having a grand ol' time outside when he decided it would be fun to play near the basement windows. And behold...he picked up a friend! He was NOT happy!
