Beautiful Spring Day

Yesterday was the perfect day. The weather was so nice and it felt so great to be outside. The sandbox was just asking for the kids to come and play and so they did. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep Jack out of it this summer. He loved being in the dirt. I'll just have to plant my lawn chair on the grass and enjoy it. That doesn't sound too hard.


Russell worked outside for about four hours taking down Christmas lights, pruning trees and cleaning out flower beds-I helped a little. Days like yesterday make me happy. Being out in the sun after a long winter, watching the kids pull out all of the sand toys, just being together without the pressure of having someplace to be or something to get done. It was nice. And an added perk was going out on a double date last night with my sister Megan and her husband Kenny. We went to dinner and then dragged Russell and Kenny to see Bride Wars. (Although, Russell laughed quite a bit so I don't know if I really dragged him or not!) Thanks Jean and Jane, my wonderful aunts, for babysitting. I am looking forward to more glorious spring days!
