Gumby?

My son has got to be one of the most flexible beings on the planet... He can put his feet behind his head with ease and get himself into positions that would make Gumby think twice!  

party hat

Her only solace in this unjust world (I wouldn't let her drink my coffee) is wearing this birthday hat that has been rolling around on the floor of the van for the last two weeks.

sunshine.......and snow

Spring has sprung! (Or so we thought!)  After basking in the sunshine the past few days, a big thunderstorm rolled in on Sunday night, leaving us with hail and rumbling skies. Twenty four hours later, we woke up to this - about 6 inches of fluffy white snow!  I was less than thrilled about having to shovel the front sidewalk again, and even less happy about having to scrape my car.  Ah, the joys of spring in the Northwoods....

Planting Seeds

I managed to put off my frantic need to plant seeds in the spring for a little longer this year!  Usually I'm jumping the gun in February or March!  Nolan and I spent some time this morning planting tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, jalapenos, habaneros, serranos, pumpkins, and watermelon for summer garden.  I can't wait until the weather is warm and sunny and we can start the work outside!

Fashionista

Nolan picked out his own outfit today for when we went shopping at Kohl's.  The birthday hat was leftover from his cousin Charlie's party on Saturday.  This kid is one of a kind.

Backyard

Over the past few weeks, the weather has been getting nicer and we've been enjoying spending some time outside in the fresh air.  Both kids have really been excited about riding their bikes, and Nolan is getting pretty handy on riding his in the alley.  

Dino-Livi going to town on her bike!

This weekend was 60 degrees and we celebrated the sunshine by roasting hotdogs over a backyard campfire.  It's always exciting when the days get longer and the sun is out.  I know I definitely have more energy!  Spring is in the air!

Puppy love

These two are so sweet.
