I don't want to beat it to death, but...

I LOVE looking out the kitchen window while I am cooking dinner or doing the dishes and seeing this.





I think I'm able to get my chores done in half the time when Jake keeps them occupied outside. I LOVE having a backyard! Seriously, it is the best.

Plus, when the kiddos are done swimming (or so cold we pull them out) I get to snuggle them until they warm up.
