First off, we have been going outside. Yes, it is cold, yes it is even kind of wet and muddy. However, it is crucial that these children get outside and run about, if even for ten minutes! Yesterday we bundled up to head out and water the "baby" apple trees. Although I told them that it was probably just going to be a quick trip to water the trees, it turned in to much more! Bike riding...replacing old corn cobs with new ones for the squirrels...some driveway mowing (by Gavin)...shoveling to search for "treasures"...some hide and seek. We even enjoyed looking at the chalk drawings that were created earlier this week and noticing how the rain/snow had changed them just a bit.
Sydney's message to Gavin...have I mentioned that she is the sweetest thing??
Today, Sydney requested breakfast for lunch...YUM! Gavin requested that we eat at the "baby blue table." So I whipped up some yummy pancakes, some sweet potato hash browns and we had a delicious lunch. (We decided to enjoy it at lunchtime because it isn't exactly Daddy's favorite meal!) Afterward, Sydney and Gavin set up a campsite in the basement...complete with tents, pillows, blankets, and their favorite things to sleep with. We even threw in a "campfire" and some scary (turned silly!) stories.
