David and I recently went sort of crazy as a result of trying to keep our children safely contained together in the house. The house we are renting has a backyard that is so nice and shaded. However, before now, it wasn't a fenced in backyard. This meant that whenever we let the kids play outside, they split in 3 different directions and each ended up at the most unsafe destination they could find: the ditch for Rome, the road for Dolly and the neighbors dog pen for Mckinley. After a summer of this craziness, we strung a terribly ugly row of chain link fence across the opening that wasn't fenced and I don't think I've been so proud of anything we've made in my whole life! Our back yard is now a fully fenced playen!Our kids now can play in the back yard without David and I feeling like we have to guard the entrance. It has become everyone's favorite place to be, including a squirrel who we've been watching collect fallen walnuts. The kids spend hours on end back there and it's so nice to have the house a little quieter while David is sleeping after working all night. These are pictures mostly of Romee and Dolly's adventures while Kinleys at school. As I was going through these pictures this quote from an unknown author came to mind: Little Girls, like butterflies, require no explanation.
However, The quote doesn't have any disclaimer for Rome, so I'll just clarify that in a moment of supervisory weakness, he found a muddy little snack:)
