Spring? Is that you??

Ahh it feels good to be able to be out and active without freezing our tails off!

Bryn had school this morning so Erin and I had some one on one time (with NO tantrums, wahoo!).
First we went to the pet store where Erin was most interested in the rats. So not my kid! She sat and talked to them and tried to convince them to eat their food and run in their wheel. She finally moved on when all they wanted to do was reach up and sniff the little gap at the top of the cage.


Here she's asking "why dat fish licking his cage?". It was a tank of the sucker fish and she just didn't understand that at all.


Then we stopped by the Caille branch library for story time with Miss Karen. She definitely puts on the most enjoyable story time we've ever been to!


Then...the best part of the day...a picnic!! At the park!! It felt so so good to be outside!

Sertoma Park has some new equipment that is tons of fun.
For the bigger kids there are these seats on a post - but your weight makes them spin. The spin almost too easily and the kids kept getting so dizzy they'd just fall off.


They got these ride on things too that are very similar to the ones from when I was little that were shaped like animals. Much safer though, you can't pull them all the way to the ground and nearly shoot yourself off the front ;)


The girls went down way too late for a nap but it was totally worth it! I hear we're back to the 30's tomorrow. Grr!!
