Spring Fever

This weekend was a such a contrast from last weekend! It was beautiful!!! I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was kinda slack about it until Sunday night.

Starting on Thursday, the weather just got better and better. S and I hit up a great local playground on Thursday and again on Friday. M was able to join us Friday after work and see what a fun time S has in the playground, on the swings and sliding down the slides! She climbs up all by herself and then slides down and I don't have to catch her. I just stand at the bottom and watch her - she's getting so independent!

On Saturday, we switched it up a bit and went to an elementary school to avoid the crowds at the county/city parks. DEFINITELY a better option. However, you can imagine our surprise when we discovered the only 2 other families there were B and D!! So fun to watch their boys be crazy and S trying to keep up:)

Tonight, after dinner we headed outside to play with bubbles and Abby. S enjoyed playing with the bubbles (and to my amazement knew what they were - someone else obviously blows bubbles for her!) but then decided it was more fun to throw the ball for Abby!

Daddy trying to get S to blow the bubbles herself. She didn't quite get it.

So much fun chasing the bubbles! I don't know who had more fun chasing them around, S or Abby:)

S loved, loved, loved telling Abby what to do!!! She's seen us command Abby enough, that she knows how to do it (although Abby really doesn't listen to her). S would get the ball from Abby and then throw it for her. Once Abby got the ball, she wasn't just going to give it up w/o a fight. That's part of the game for her! S would chase her around clapping her hands saying "dog, dog!" She learned this from watching me call Abby back to the house when I can't find her! It was so much fun!

Throwing the ball for Abby.

We did have one little mishap while we were out tonight. Our water spigot was a loose and leaking so M went to fix it. S being very intrigued by this sat right at his feet. Well, something went wrong and instead of turning the water off, it was turned on and POURING out of the spigot!! S was getting drenched (and loving it of course) and we couldn't get the water off or her away from it! It was very humorous and I wish I'd gotten a video of just how fast this water was coming out, but at least I got a picture.

M had just turned the water off here so this is the last bit coming out of the spigot. You can't tell it here, but S is so wet!

With summer coming, we are going to push S's bedtime back a bit so we are able to get outside after dinner as often as we can while the weather is warm and it is still light out! I'm very much looking forward to this time together as a family:)
