Sunshine!

We took advantage of the heat wave (in the upper 40's) we had this weekend and went for a walk (actually Campbell ran most of the way...it made it really obvious that she has sprouted up lately...her legs looked so long running down the sidewalk) and then the kids rode their bikes up and down the alley. It felt awesome to be in the warm sun & the kids had a blast. Campbell has gotten a lot faster on her bike since the last time she rode many months ago. She was really zooming around where before she was having trouble pedaling hard enough to get traction. We're definitely going to have to get her a big girl bike this spring. And I don't know about Blake. He can't even reach the pedals but he can go so fast by pushing himself with his feet and he maneuvers so well. Either I'm going to have to take his bike away or get full body padding.

Feels so great to be outside!

A lot of stopping to explore puddles.

Enjoying the ride.

At the end of the walk, Blake was antsy so Gabe carried him & Campbell needed a rest. Look how big she is in that stroller!

Playing in the water dripping from the roof.

Look how gross the snow looks.

Biker gang.

At least he's wearing his own helmet now. I think he forgot about how he refused to wear anything but Campbell's pink flowered helmet. Problem is now that it looks like he needs a bigger size.

 
I heard on the radio that it hadn't been this warm since November 11!

Since we were outside playing last weekend we had several days of warm weather & it's amazing how much snow melted. The patio that was so full of snow it was almost covering our patio chairs is completely free of snow. We only have a couple inches of really dirty black snow left on the ground. They are forecasting 12-18 inches starting tomorrow...bring it! I love being cozy at home in a snow storms & it would make everything pretty white again.
