I told you in my last post that the weather has been nice here. Well, these photos are from our first day playing outside. Joley has never been able to play in the play house or with her brother out in the yard. They both had a lot of fun!
Johnny was so excited to be able to go outside that he still had oatmeal on his face!
He is such a good big brother that he watches over his sister while she plays.
Joley looks so cute outside. She is such a tiny little girl anyways, but then you see her next to a big (little) house or how she fits under a table and you realize just how small she is.
She had such a great time playing. She is going to have so much fun in the play house this spring and summer.
That is, until it is time to go inside. Going inside is not fun. Johnny was the same way. We used to have to bribe him to come in the house from playing in order to avoid all-out tantrums. Joley, apparently, is a lover of outside play too as you can tell by her behavior when it was time to go in (which, after thinking about it, we weren’t even going in. We were going to go for a walk. She wanted to stay out back!)
Poor little Joley. Life can be so unfair.

I haven’t blogged in a few days. As a matter of fact, I have been pretty scarce from Twitter too. But, I haven’t been super busy with school or family obligations. I haven’t been working on the budget that needs to be finished or the homework that is waiting for me. Nothing like that at all. But my reasons for neglecting social media and my blog are better.
I have been enjoying the taste of Spring we have had here lately. It was so nice this weekend that we were able to get outside and do things. Yesterday, the kids and I went for a walk and played in the backyard… for hours! I have been doing things besides sitting here on this computer and it feels great. Since Thursday, I have walked at a minimum of 1 mile each day. Yesterday, I walked two miles plus whatever I normally do throughout the day.
It feels so good to get outside with the kids. So good, in fact, that I am praying for Spring to come. I love the fresh air, the warmth of the sun, the sound of my babies little feet stomping through the grass. I love to see the squirrels who frequent my backyard tree and my dog, Sammi, excited to chase them. I love to hear the birds chirp and the geese flying overheard, heading back to the area after the long, cold winter. I can hear the cows from the nearby farm during the day and the sounds of kids playing in the neighborhood. The sounds and feelings of Spring are the best so…
All I have to say to Mother Nature is this… Bring on Spring!
