It was a gorgeous day outside today in my part of the world. The sun was bright, the sky was blue, and it was just warm enough to make it comfortable.
I started off my day in a meeting regarding my next round of black belt testing. I'll probably test in around a year for my second degree and I'm looking forward to the preparation. I've not been in the dojo much lately and I miss it.
The two youngest princesses and I spent some time working in the front yard. We picked up sticks, raked leaves, and dragged piles of them into the woods in back of our house. It is amazing how a couple of hours worth of work can make the yard look so much nicer.
After it got dark I built a small fire in the back yard, our first of the season, so that the girls could toast marshmallows and make s'mores.

So did you have to drag your kids out to help you in the yard? I always dreaded April school vacation when I was a kid cuz it meant dad made us spend an entire day outside raking and picking up sticks and branches throughout the yard to burn them. Ughhh...Hated it!
