More Fresh Air....

I'm not sure how I've gotten so lucky the last few weeks, but the kids and I have had some amazingly beautiful days off together. Today was no exception, so we seized the opportunity to take in some fresh air and sunshine.

First we filled our watering cans, and gave the tulips and perennials a drink. Erica got a new pink watering can in her Easter basket, but of course wanted Hayden's watering can, not her own. Luckily, I only had to break up a couple of fights, as Hayden soon started digging for night crawlers, and wasn't interested in watering at all anymore. (Above you can see he has made them a nice new home in a Cool Whip container--which I started collecting last year, after losing all of my Tupperware to bug and worm habitat's :) )

Next, we headed out for a long walk through the neighborhood. Hayden has decided that he can't be tied down in a stroller anymore, so Erica's baby gets the second seat these days. He usually runs ahead, lags behind, finds treasures, etc. Usually by the end of the walk he gets a bit tuckered out, and ends up in the stroller for a leisure ride home. Oscar was actually the most tired on this particular walk, as he is a bit out of shape after the winter.

Having a snack and some juice together after our walk.
What a great day!
