Playing Outside - Finally!

Spring has finally sprung here and I couldn't be happier! It is SOOOOO good to be able to get the kids outside enjoying fresh air and running off some of that extra energy. Everyone's moods and attitudes are better and that makes it nicer around here for everyone! On Tuesday school was closed and I had the entire crew for the day: the big kids were outisde for 4 1/2 hours!! It was so wonderful! We are making good use of the deck and the sidewalks and the driveway. The yard is still off-limits due to all the mud, but hopefully some light rain to wash everything off and then some wind and sun to dry it all up and we should hopefully be in the yard next week.
