Warmer Days

 

Before the big snow storms we had some really, really nice days.

Here's what took place then... 

 

 

 

 

Our Kindergarteners had a "100th Day" Party on the 100th day of school. (duh) They had to create something using 100 of an item. We decided to make them drive 100 nails into a board making their name. Because child labor laws are fun to flirt with and the sound of 5 year olds hammering for an hour is so soothing. Ahem. Hindsight is 20/20.

 

Taryn's name wasn't long enough so some hearts were added to get the full 100 nails.

The 2 year olds got this amazing picnic table and benches for their birthday. I'm so in love with it! And the kids are too. We ate lunch at it any day that was nice enough and played on it in-between.

 Brecken and her sweet next door boyfriend snuck off to the backyard once and this is where I found them. Just talking away. 

This wagon was in our side yard one morning last year. We put it out at the curb every night for months hoping it's owner would come claim it. But, we've still go it. It has been a blessing though...it holds a lot of little ones.

Just after Christmas Aven finally mastered walking. Just before 17 months. My other girls were at 10 and 11 months so it felt like forever but she's always done things at her own pace. I didn't mind because it made me feel like we had a baby around for a little longer. Now I feel baby-less and I don't like that feeling. 

We knew we were spoiled by this nice weather so we took advantage. I'm sure missing it now as the wind is bitter and the snow mounds at every corner look as though they'll never melt! Oh spring come quickly!
