We are so ready for Spring!

We find lots of ways to have fun inside during the chilly winter days but the glimpses of warmer days and sunshine make me eager for Springs arrival. More so now then ever I think with three little ones. We spend our days playing with cars and trucks, blocks, baby dolls, bouncing on the couch, coloring, practicing letters and writing, reading and looking at books, playing tag, hide-N'-seek and Whoosh (Lucas' fun made up chase game where we end up jumping onto the couch) and of course watching a little Nick Jr. or Disney too! We venture out for a walk/bike ride every now and then when the weather permits but that is challenging with everyone bundled up I must admit.
But I am so ready to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Let them run wild in the yard,have picnics, play in the sandbox and on the swingset. And venture to the park more for playtime too. With the time change today I know it will be here soon and this lady is HAPPY about that!

Especially since both Peyton and Kayleigh are officially toddlers. Yep, over the last three weeks Ms. Kales has tried to catch up to her sister. She isn't running with Peyton just yet but I think she will be in no time at all!

Here's to Spring being just around the corner!!!

Buds

These two are buds. Two little boys who are the epitome of BOY. Wild, boisterous, energy filled, car/truck lovin', outdoor junkies. Lucas and Russell only get to get together a handful of times each year. Yet just like their daddy's (and mommies too!) they get SO EXCITED when they know they are going to get to see each other. Even if just for a few hours on a sunny cool late winter day...they are over the moon to.. run, jump, and play

swing, slide, and glide.

Trek hand in hand through the woods on fun-filled adventures.

And pose on a stump or rock with one of their favorite buds.

I think these two are going to be lifelong friends. I know our lives have been blessed by the friendships we all share- young and old! :) Love you guys!!!
