I'm starting to think I'm kids are going to be spending endless hours in the pool this summer :) Heck this afternoon they didn't even bother to change into their swimsuits... they just decided to start shooting each other with the squirt gun even though fully clothed. At least it was warm enough! I'm going to need to become an expert sunscreen connoisseur as far as making sure they have it on them this summer... wish me luck!

Hangin Out
So yesterday Nat had her baby shower for her little girl, and may I say that little girl is going to be stylin! Her hubby "Pete" and Jer and the six kids hung out at our house while us girls were relaxing and hanging out.
Her boys are so cute. And they seamed to have fun playing with my munkins and vice versa.

YAY! They can play outside again!!!
Hooray! after a long and very snowy winter, one that I must admit, they saw very little sun in, it is warm enough to play OUTSIDE!!
I never realized as a kid that not only I looked forward to being outside, my parents probably looked forward to it too. :) I mean... in the winter, who REALLY wants to bundle up the kids in all their gear just to have them come back inside within 15min tracking all sorts of wintery goodness with them? Then there is the subsequent clean up.
But, NOW all I have to say is "You want to go in the backyard and play?" then "Ok, get on your shoes and your jacket and go outside then" :D no more running screaming through the house for extended periods of time! it's "Go outside and scream to your hearts content!" No more bouncing off the walls it's "Go outside and play tag!" Isn't mom full of fun suggestions now?
I love spring! and my crocuses are coming up, and my daffodils too! And HEY! I think I see a tulip starting over there!!!! That's great kids! You can pick the blooms off of them. It's enough for me to know that they are there! Nothing can go wrong in the spring. Mom is a MUCH happier person.
