Serendipitous moments

It was a beautiful day yesterday, and while I finished up some school work with their big brother, Sammy and Annie ventured outside with the Alphabet Path books.  Although he is only in second grade, Sam reads at a much higher level and enjoys reading aloud to his little sister (and the rest of us).  After I suggested that they could build a fairy house also, Annie agreed to join Sammy in the adventures of Mrs. Applebee and Michael..  She wasn't a great audience, as her attention span completely disappeared, which frustrated Sammy (which you will see in a very cute picture below:)  In the end, they did enjoy their time together, and my books didn't get too dirty.  Here they are.  I took the pics through the screen door, so as not to disturb them, which is why the pics are a little "cloudy".  The last few pics are ones Sammy took.  I think he's got the makings of a great photographer!
