Outside Time

What wonderful warm (but pleasant) weather we've been having!  We've logged a few miles in the double stroller each evening, and the boys are happy with their snacks while Mommy gets a serious workout pushing almost 100 pounds of kids/stroller!  I know the 100 degree evenings are coming soon, so we're enjoying this activity while we can!  Last night we had an up close encounter with a squirrel, and tonight a rabbit came right up to us!  They both love to watch the doggies and bicyclers on the trail by our house. 

 We played in the backyard tonight after our stroller session.  Beau is loving the little slide, and he also likes the little swing.  But mostly he loves to stomp around the backyard and throw the toys and rocks around.  (Not Mommy's favorite thing!)

 Lincoln was a swinging/sliding/climbing monster tonight!  He only got in on Beau's activities when he was worried that Beau was going to steal his favorite rocks.  Yeah . . . he has favorite rocks . . . further classified as indoor rocks, outdoor rocks, and even a pet rock.  Rocks are no joke around here!

It was such a fun evening.  I think the outside time does everyone good.  There is so much less fussing and fighting once we come back in, and that's always a good thing. 

Side note:  Lincoln's class is studying the letter B this week.  He's come home telling me a million B words.  Today they celebrated the letter B by eating banana splits!  I wish I went to that preschool!  He was so proud to tell me about his banana, ice cream, chocolate sauce and sprinkles for snack!  He also gave me an entire dictionary of B words as I was pushing the stroller tonight.  We never quit learning!
