After taking off an unplanned week of school last week, I was ready to dive head first in this morning. And we did fairly well, for the morning, a little slower paced than usual, and I was getting antsy to get the kids down for some quiet time.
Then there was this sunshine that kept pouring in the back door, and I KNEW that quiet time was going to have to wait – it was time for this momma to be FUN MOM!
So we put on the shoes and jackets and headed out into the VERY spring-like weather!
JJ the Scientist took along his magnifying glass and examined everything along the way.
From rabbit turds…
…to strange muddy footprints….
…to everything on or beside the sidewalk…
…to manholes in the park – which resulted in goose poop on the knees :D
We found one of the only remaining patches of snow in the neighborhood and claimed it as Mount Iceberg.
These red berries look good enough to eat!
So beautiful against the bright blue sky.
Our God is an awesome Creator!
Bird’s nest from spring two years ago.
This bush is trying so hard to come back to life! Not just yet!
Waiting patiently to cross the street.
Somebody has some interesting taste in paint.
Beauty- and look, a small sun flare!
Running her little heart out. This is totally worth the time spent!
The Boy is a bit of a monkey on those bars.
Everyone loves to swing! I wish they made adult size swings…these things hurt after a couple minutes!
Quick, the UPS truck is coming!
Alas, it was not for us :0)
Linking up with Carissa at Lowercase Letters for Miscellany Monday.
