Hooray for Spring!

It has been absolutely gorgeous outside and the kids and I have been taking advantage of it as much as we can. I have taken them on several walks and bike rides, as well as picnics at the park and play dates outside in the back yard/drive way area. The kids love the outdoors even more than I do and I love that they sleep really well whenever we do active things outside- it's the secret to wear them out. Carter has been trying to learn how to ride his new big boy bike (graduating from his big tricycle, into a bike with training wheels). So far it has given me several headaches to try and get the boy to push his legs down and to teach him that he has to keep his legs going if he wants the bike to keep going. One day it will pay off and he'll go fast so that I can actually run with the babies in the double stroller, and not just walk slowly and push him on his bike every other step!

We got to go swimming this weekend and it was so nice to have the pool open and available for our use.
