It's a beautiful day

and, we are out to enjoy the weather and sun. We really didn't have much of a winter and the warmer temps were definitely welcomed in early February.





The boys got their play-up double side climber last summer and the boys never really expressed as much interest in it as we would have hoped due to the sweat that went into putting it together (think almost triple digit temps during the hottest part of the day). There was lots of whining when we were outside and repeated attempt after attempt to go up the stairs, which was my clue that they really weren't all that interested in being outside.



Connor is always following Jackson's lead...





But, the slides and the balls gave them several reasons to want to stay out and I'm hoping that they will continue to want to be outside especially if the weather stays nice. Connor is walking much steadier (he is still clumsy but isn't falling as much) and Jackson is just Jackson and all over the place at all times. Neither boys appreciated when their hands got dirty and Connor actually teared up about it but that is just part of being outside.



you can't just go down the slide -- you have to climb up too, right?!?
