Springtime?

Is it Spring yet? I don't ever remember feeling this anxious for warm weather. I usually enjoy the cold, but lately - all I can think about it Spring. I'm sure a big part of it is that the kids and I are getting bored of the not-so-great-indoors. *SIGH* it is SO nice to spend hours outside at the park! The kids are growing up fast though it seems. I keep hoping that Mia's shrinking pants will last through the winter!

The other day Mia came in telling me that she had a big surprise for me. She led me to her room and proudly declared that she had made her bed all by herself (which is no small deal since she sleeps on a queen bed!). She had also neatly arranged all of her stuffed animals on top - so naturally I thought it was picture worthy.




I love the sunset in this picture, not to mention the good looking people.








It seems like I often end up being the indoor play equipment.









So Calvin LOVES to cook. Yes, I let him bring a chair over and help, and yes he knows the stove is hot, and yes he has burned his hand, but - now he knows that hot means don't touch.


He always wants to stand up while eating....have to buckle him down every time.





Lots of pictures of Calvin...hm...anyway. He found some of Ryan's golf balls the other day and he knew EXACTLY what to do with them. I think he will fulfill all of Ryan's dreams of having a devoted golfing buddy.
