Spring Fever

I hope everyone's been enjoying this "Spring" weather. We've been playing in the backyard, playgrounds, the woods, and the sidewalks... anywhere outdoors! Ramona's favorite outdoor art is painting windows (we replaced our house's windows and saved many of the old ones) and drawing with chalk.

Lately she also enjoys collecting rollie-pollies (I have no idea how to spell that), helping with the chickens, and riding her tricycle. Over this hot spell she has been donning her swimsuit and playing in the sprinkler!

Astrid likes to paint, too.

But more so she enjoys opening and closing the containers of paint. She also loves the birdbath.

I think her favorite outdoor activities are running up and down the sidewalk and climbing everyones stairs, "riding" Ramona's tricycle, and playing with the gravel in our driveway.
