That bright thing-y in the sky

The weather lately has been amazing. Just AMAZING. And with it, I feel like we are coming alive again as a family. Our routines just work so much better with a trip to the park, an after dinner walk, and reading in the backyard. We need to be outside! And with some of the rough housing taken outside, I'm pretty sure our furniture will last about 10x as long (ahem, Henry).

Lucy is most excited about: meeting friends at the park. We have 3 within walking distance, the closest being Sunnyside Park. On weekends and school days afternoons, there is always someone there to play with. How wonderful!

Henry is most excited about: a full sandbox. Unfortunately, you like to roll in the sand, attaching a good portion of it to your skin which makes a messy little trail when you come into the house. Suffice it to say, Dad is NOT loving the required cleanup and forced boy showers that are going along with said sandbox so far. I'm still relieved you are happy outside and not inside pounding on the walls, but a few more days and I may be done with it as well. It's a good thing you also love tractoring.

I am most excited about: longer daylight hours and plenty of places to run off energy with the kids.

Ahhhh. There is such happiness knowing a whole summer of outside days is coming our way!
