Around and about

Well, the weather is turning. We're getting more nice days than rainy so hopefully it starts warming up more consistently too. In any case, we've been able to go outside much more these last few weeks. Last week the daycare closed for a holiday so both kids were home all the time. It's amazing how my productivity drops when both kids are home. It's partly my philosophy though. I figure on the days when I'm home with them, my first job is them, not house cleaning or whatever else needs to be done. Since I'm going back to work soon, I try to spend time with them as much as possible now. Sometimes it's a lot of work, especially when I'm tired. But I think I'll miss it soon enough.

Anyhow....

One day we went to Bonsor park to hang out. It's not very busy during the week and Elijah is comfortable there, so it's a good one for us when we're doing a quick outing. This time Charlotte got her first ride on a swing. She loved it! Elijah even pushed for a bit.


Another day we walked up to Yehyeh's house. On the way we passed a construction site. Elijah's favorite, of course. On the way back down the alley Elijah stopped to try and catch some blossoms blowing off a tree.













We're also trying to seed our back lawn now that the weather is warming up. It's needed a mowing or two so far and Elijah begged to be allowed to help. He's tired of his little toy mower and really wanted to use the big one. I let him try and wouldn't you know, he's big and strong enough to push it. Well, that's the best thing ever, apparently. Too cute.

Well, there's more to come but the kids have woken up and I promised to take them outside.
