Hello, there! Just poppin' in from living outside the last few days!
We are praising God for this unexpected gift of 60 - 75 degree weather in the middle of MARCH! This never happens in good ol' Wisconsin, let me tell you!!!

This has been so good for me... several days of hanging out with my girls, letting the to-do lists slide as much as possible, being refreshed by the opportunities of outdoor activities that we miss during the winter.
I need to be better at going outside even when it is cold, wet, and snowy.... I'm thinking about reading the book 15 Minutes Outside: 365 Ways to Get Out of the House and Connect with Your Kids by Rebecca Cohen. I need some inspiration for those winter blahs that keep me holed inside like a hermit! Oh, and I'm also one of those people that isn't warm unless it is AT LEAST 65 degrees and sunny -- 85 is even better. :) But enough about winter, because it is clearly spring right now!!!
The children had fun introducing Selah to the park. She loved the swing...
tasted a few wood chips (don't worry -- I'm SURE they're organic)...
and discovered sand. Much to my dismay, she got a mouthful or two in...taking after her big sister Cassie!
Oh, how we've missed the fun and convenience of the park a block from our house. The kids never seem to tire of it no matter how often we go during the summer months.
How have you been enjoying this gorgeous weather???
Your girls sure are growing up! They look like they're really enjoying the gorgeous weather. We've been having a similar spring here in Michigan and, instead of having a "snow day" like schools have, we're having a "spring day" today. So, hopscotch is the agenda for today. :)
ReplyDeleteMeh, a little dirt never hurt anyone. "God made dirt, dirt can't hurt, if I die, God knows why." Adorable pictures, as usual. We too are enjoying this unusually warm weather!!
ReplyDeleteThis looked like such a fun day! My son has helped me start living in the moment as well. I love getting outside and letting him explore. Thanks for stopping by famiglia&seoul to enter the giveaway! I'm glad I found your site! :)
