Sunny spring day

So from snow to sun...finally! We had a really nice weekend and that means getting the kids outside as much as possible. Crazy to think but this was Makena's first real encounter with grass! Last time we were outside much she wasn't even crawling.

She was a bit hestant at first, but then was running all over the place. She also took a liking to Aidan's mower...

Aidan found a new outside pasttime as well - tree climbing. I turn my back and there he is, like a little monkey, up in the maple tree. Thankfully it is a small tree, low to the ground, perfect for little kid climbing. He did find that you get scraped up in trees, lose your shoes when they get stuck between branches and sometimes find yourself hanging and afraid to fall. Good lessons!

Having these recent nice days, plus it staying lighter later in the evening, makes me very excited for summer!

We also colored easter eggs for the first time this weekend. Aidan had a great time but of course wanted to dunk the eggs in all the colors - so I think most of the eggs look exactly the same - kinda muddy.

Now we wait for the Easter Bunny to arrive!
