march sixteen

Spring is in the air. I love it. It was GORGEOUS outside today when I picked up the kids from daycare. 12°C. No hats! Open jackets! Oh ya! Despite the fact that I think I’ve got a head cold (my face feels congested and I know I slept with my mouth open last night as I couldn’t breathe 100% through my nose – no fun!) I stayed over an hour outside at the park in our circle. I love being outside with the kids. The fresh air does the body good. If I’m sick tomorrow, I know why.

Mack loves sports just like his big brother does.

Mack discovered a new word today. “Bang”. He repeated the word as he banged the gardening fork on the post.
I guess he felt the need to communicate the word and show that he knew what it meant.

Eventually daddy got home from work and came outside to play.

Wait a second… Jamie’s actually smiling with teeth! I love it.

Oh, that means I had someone to take a picture of me & the boys.
(I love the self portraits I do with the, but they’re a little too “close-up” sometimes).

Like I wrote before, we spent over an hour at the park getting us back home after 6:30pm. Since dinner kind of got forgotten about we quickly treated ourselves to some take-out and got the kids ready for bed once they were done eating. The amount of fun they had outside today playing in the sand, sliding down the slides, chasing after our neighbours 3 boys (who are ages 6, 7, and 8 – yes, I told their mother that she was insane for having them 14 months apart and then another 16 months apart). (And I thought I was nuts with having the kids so close in age (17.5 months apart). She said it’s finally paying off now that they’re so close in age, but for the longest time it was tough. (Good to know).

Tomorrow I need to make sure that I do not procrastinate and I DO fold all the laundry that I’ve been doing over the last few days. There must be 8 loads worth of folding to do. I will do it tomorrow. I will. Someone please remind me.

Oh, and because of this head cold business, my mind wasn’t there tonight to work on the front of Sean’s Sweater. So it’s delayed one more day. I’ll get the front done tomorrow. PROMISE. Got to get Sean wearing that sweater already. Before summer that is.
