Our kids LOVE to be outside. I am thankful, but dreading the late summer heat. I am also thankful we got the boy a swing set for his birthday last year so playing outside can simply mean opening the back door - no need to look presentable! The girl loves to swing as much as her brother, and he is finally tall enough to maneuver climbing up the slide all by himself. After almost 2 hours outside this morning, I was only able to lure them indoors happily with the promise of Super Why! and snacks. I foresee this being a regular routine now that spring is here.
Yesterday was another wonderful spring day so I opened the windows to air out the house. The girl stood like a captive longing for freedom at the front windows for about half an hour. It didn't help that she kept seeing her daddy "enjoying" the outdoors as he pulled limbs and bags of leaves to the street for pickup. She couldn't seem to understand why he was getting to have all the fun!
I couldn't resist posting this picture - don't you just love that smirk? We are discovering what a joyful handful little miss will be in the coming years. Yes, you can begin increasing your prayers for us now!
