Swinging into Spring!

We're all so excited that the cold has gone away and we can enjoy the outdoors now! Lately, every afternoon, I spread out a beach towel in the backyard and dump a bunch of toys and just let the girls play around in the grass and have a great time. They love watching the birds fly overhead and hear all the outdoors noises - dogs barking, traffic rushing, birds singing, and the occasional airplane that we'll hear flying over the area.

Caroline loves throwing her toys in the grass and scooting around to get them. She just gets so excited about the little things - it makes ME so excited about showing her all the sights and sounds.

I can't have much more fun than this!

Claire loves reaching and grabbing for things - this time it's the cord hanging off the camera.

I love sitting outside!

Here Mom, this one's for you!

Now that the girls are scooting around more quickly, they inevitably end up right next to each other, which does not always end so happily. Caroline has been a "toy snatcher" from day one, but if Claire doesn't have a toy, she will just grab Claire's hand or clothes and make a determined face and hold on (this definitely does not make Claire's list of her favorite things). I'm having to watch them much more closely now so that they "play nicely."
See, that's a flower!

Even Daddy joined in the fun today and helped Mommy so that she could make dinner! Thank you, Daddy, for helping so much and knowing exactly when to give Mommy a little break!
