FInally Some Warmth

I shouldn't be saying this, but we are finally getting some warm weather!! This winter has been pretty mild, but at the same time we have been longing to be able to play outside and enjoy some sunny weather.  The past couple days has been in the 60s and we have been soaking it up.  Thursday we had some friends over so we broke out the sandbox.  When they left Everett had to go back out and keep playing.  All the while wearing his snow boots.  That kid will probably keep wearing them during the summer too!

The people that own the land we live on grow alfalfa.  Thursday they started to fertilize the land.  They set these two tractors in the yard a few days before and everyday Everett would have to go look at them.  When he actually saw them using them he was quite intrigued.

Today the weather was even nicer.  We were going to go run errands early this morning, but I decided to put Jacquelyn down for a nap instead.  So to pass the time we headed outside.  We first started by wanting to clean out the water side of Everett's sandbox.  He tends to get a lot of sand on that side.  So we went and tried out the hose for the first time. 

 After playing with the hose and cleaning the sand off the deck Everett went to town.  He seriously LOVES his sandbox.  He went and got his boats to play in it.  Todd was showing him how to turn the little white thing to make the water move which then makes the boats go around.  Everett was so excited.  He played with that thing forever!

Todd was suppose to be going and studying, but got a little distracted.  He ended up getting some grass seeds and spreading them in some of the bare areas.

So of course Everett had to go join his dad.

 

We have a bunch of these bugs called Boxelder Wood bugs. I think that's their name.  Anyway they were all over the place today.  They supposedly come out in full force during warm weather. Everett's not a fan of them.  Well, he's not a fan of any bug really.  Todd was pointing them out to him and he almost broke down. He had to get some lovin from dad and mom.

 Don't mind his messy, snotty face, but this is his bug look.  Seriously he hates bugs :)

After telling him he'd be alright it was back to spreading seeds.

I went to check on Jacquelyn and found her just chillin out.  She was quite content.

Once we got her already she came out and enjoyed the weather with the rest of us.  She loves standing up with Everett at the sandbox. Her favorite part...Eating the sand.  Gotta watch her closely!

I tried putting her on the grass the other day and she didn't want anything to do with it.  So I tried it again today and she had no problems! She sat right down and started crawling around.

 One last time playing with the hose before going in.  Todd was chasing Everett with it.

 Everett got ahold of it and played around.  He found that if he sticks his hand in the water it sprays him.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of the nice weather.  We had such a good day.  Got to wear sandals and no jackets or coats!
