We all scream for ice cream

It was 80 degrees outside.

Ice cream cones are perfect for an after school treat!

Spring training

Four O'clock on our neighbor Helena's trampoline is so much fun!

During the past week this was our pre-bath routine.

Ethan loves to play tackle until he gets hurt...

Spring knees

It's that time of year again.

Time to wear shorts.

Time for spring knees.

March 15th

Long stem birthday flowers. Aidan picked out the long lillies and Ethan chose the purple iris. Kyle took the kids on a secret adventure. A short trip to my favorite flower market accidentally turned into a three hour car ride. On this particular day, a storm hit the Northeast and trees fell across the parkway. Aidan kept busy looking at all the road construction efforts in removing the trees from the highway. Ethan had to use the bathroom 30 minutes into the trip. He arrived home holding his pee pee in tears. Poor guy.

Thanks boys, mommy loves you so much.

Out like a lamb.

How they play

Aidan pushing Ethan on their new swing set last spring. I love to watch the way they play together. After this episode Aidan concluded that pushing is "hard work" and Ethan needs to practice "pumping his legs". Within days Aidan got the hang of pumping himself. We were all thankful about that.
