Warm Weather - Finally!

We've been getting outside a lot in the last couple of weeks.  In fact, once we are inside for an hour or two, I feel like we have to get back out so that we don't waste this much-improved weather.  It makes for a messier house than normal, but the kids and I are sure loving it. 

Jack and his friend Tyler played Ninja Turtles outside!
 Emily being silly by her swing.
 

Andy, looking handsome for his spring pictures at school


 Emily has been saying she needed a big-girl bike (because her brothers look so cool on their bikes) so she got a very early birthday present!

Trying it out in the house!

 Doing such a great job outside!

 
 
Jack loves to scooter!

 With all of these busy days outside, last week, Emily actually fell asleep and took a nap on the couch.  She often falls asleep in the car in the afternoon, but it had been a very long time since a real nap happened!
 And today, we played at the park again :)  Emily loves being brave and trying new things...

 Jack is such a monkey, he likes to climb up high



 And Jack mastered the fireman's pole, totally on his own!

And, because today was one of the first days over 70, we played outside in the water for the first time of the season.  The boys got a slip n slide for their birthday and we tried it out :)










Andy read the box and it said it was "just like body-surfing on a big wave" (with a very cool picture showing a kid using it).  He was a little disappointed at first that it didn't feel like a real wave, like the wave pool at the dells, but he ended up having a really good time with it, along with Jack and Emily.  The weather looks great tomorrow!  We'll certainly be enjoying it.
