What a Lovely Winter We're Having This Spring

The weather kinda toyed with us this past weekend.  It gave us a glorious day to play outside and even have a picnic!  But not just any picnic, a picnic in Denver with family!  We spent the late part of the morning and early afternoon with Greg's sister and her family up at their house, hanging out, catching up and having a little playdate if you will.  Then it was off to the park to eat and play!  It was too cute seeing the little cousins together.  =)




But..... this nice weather hasn't been the normal for us, and our week ahead is forecasted to have lots of snow as well.  So.... we'll just have to keep finding indoor activities to keep us occupied.

So far, Noah's practiced his cutting......

He's done a sensory activity......

We've watched movies, made cookies, read lots and lots of books, played many games, put together a few 100-piece puzzles, played with lots of "new" toys in the basement, cranked up the fireplace and had dinner picnics in front of it, colored in the giant coloring book, made milkshakes, colored on the windows, went swimming at the YMCA, went for fro-yo at our new yogurt place here in Monument, went shopping, tried new restaurants, had a few playdates with friends and etc.  We've done pretty much everything we could think of to pass the time since we've been stuck mostly inside waiting for the weather to turn warmer.  Shouldn't be too much longer though.  We can't wait to get out there!!!

Spring has sprung!

Beautiful weather you've been having. ;) I can't decide if snow or wind is worse in April.

LOVE the Bless the Lord lyrics on the sidebar! Anytime it comes on, Nathan always tells me it's "our song". :)

I am thankful for the moisture, but not loving the cold! I have way too many cute new spring things sitting in my closet.:( That activity with the Styrofoam block and the golf tees-you should post more about that-it looks fun! Carson is a few years older, but it looks like something he would like-mildly destructive.;)
