Almost Spring

We've had a fairly cold winter this year.  Luckily both kids are old enough now that they can be bundled and taken outside to play no matter what the weather.  We managed a couple of trips to the cabin, and even had some snow at the house to play in.

Just lounging waiting for dinner.

Lily's like to talk on the phone.

Baby Girl on the go!

No sled?  No problem.

Matt's construction skills are improving.  Almost as tall as he is.

Jamie had to make a quick phone call. While on the phone, Lily disappeared.  It wasn't hard to locate her, just follow the path of destruction.

At least she knew where the TP was supposed to go.

Everything out of the drawers.  A baby lock was put on the bathroom door soon after.

"Don't get out anymore toys they said.  No problem."

Matt and Mommy marching back up.  Little boys who spend the day outside climbing hills sleep well.

Look who found Grandan's drill!

Lily in her favorite seat.

Just watching some cartoons.

Blueberries!  Not sure how much got in the mouths vs. on the faces.

Somebody thinks she's a big girl now.

In the two man ottoman.

In other exciting news we've broken ground on the beach house.  We couldn't possibly have an excavator around and not go watch right?  

Lily's hanging on tight, apparently the excavator is scary.

Matt even got to drive.

After the hole is dug, it's time for some relaxing.

 

Would you expect a 4 year old to sit somewhere besides the freshly dug hole?

 Throwing rocks.

 

Jamie had me get out the ladder to check the few from where the deck will be. The kids saw an opportunity to climb

 

Back at home, in the water table.

Matt working with the playdough to spell his name.

Playdough snowmen!

I'll leave you with what I've been getting every night lately.  The tired baby dance.
