Outdoor Play

We had a fun morning outside yesteray. The kids are glad to be outside again every day after being stuck inside the first few days of the week because of rain. Here are some of the fun things they were busy with this morning.

Michael enjoyed drawing with sidewalk chalk. I had noticed that the kids weren't playing with the sidewalk chalk much recently but this morning it made a comeback.



Lauren was busy cooking up something good in our outdoor kitchen.


Macy and Tre used the picnic table for a road.



Macy took on the job of mowing down the buttercups.


More fun with wheels



Roni joined the fun for a little. She had surgery Thursday and is wearing the cone on her head to keep her from licking the stitches.


This hole in the ground provides so much entertainment. One of their favorite games is one I call "Stuck." One child pretends to be stuck in the hole and the others come to the rescue. This game can keep them busy for a long time.









Michael decided to water the flowers and soon everyone else wanted to see what was going on.

A Warm Spring Morning

So if it's a warm spring morning and you are outside to play what on earth can you do?

Well, there are always a few balls to kick and throw around. . .













. . . . and dirt to play in.



Playing with trucks is always fun.




And if you can convince your sister to bring you lots of dirt to put in your trucks that is even more fun. . . .







. . . but she may decide to take that dirt and cook up something in the kitchen instead.



A brand new box of sidewalk chalk is a great reason to get creative.












Then of course there are some cool rides. . .





. . . and a stump to climb on.





There is certainly no reason to be bored on a nice spring day around here.
