The summer of temporary tattoos and a dirty face

If there are three things Jasper likes it is friends, food and being outside. I have noticed ever since Jasper was little we have a happier day, are in better moods and sleep sounder when we have spent a least a large portion of our day outside. Although it does not always equate to being the most productive day in terms of housework or errands I decided long ago making memories with our children will always come before everything else. 

A few nights ago we met a friend at a park in Kirkland. There were bubbles, a picnic, a little soccer game with a few random kids, a beautiful sunset and lots and lots of fun. At the end of the night as I reflected on our time together it made me smile Jasper gets so excited to see and interact with my friends. There is no doubt in my mind Jasper considers my friends his friends and vica versa. Jasper has so many positive influences in his life and so many people who love him. I am reminded life is better with friends.
