We probably would have spent the entire weekend out on the porch; unfortunately we've not been industrious enough to clear off the 1/4-inch of pollen that's coating every surface out there.

Here is a rare glimpse of the kids playing nicely together building a castle of some sort. Don't be too impressed. It lasted about as long as it took me to grab the camera and take this shot.

This morning, the kids and I played out in the front yard (avoiding the aforementioned porch.) Michael ran in to get his juice which I let him do on his own. Mistake No. 1 of the day. I came in a short while later to find this scene in the kitchen.
