it was a beautiful day

it definitely feels like spring is here

olive and i spent all of eleanor's nap outside

first in the front yard where she rode her bike and played with chalk

and then we moved on to the backyard so she could show me her flips on the trampoline

eventually eleanor woke up and joined us

 once the big kids got home from school we got ice cream cones (from macey's....yum!) 

and went to the park

 this swing was surprisingly comfortable

 the kids all loved playing at the park

and i loved spending so much of my day outside

i even got some color on my arms!

 i am so glad spring is here

hopefully to stay

we have all missed playing outside

ps. look what i found in hazel's backpack today

translated it says, "My favorite hero is my Mom. Because she is nice. And she always keeps me safe."

she is such a doll

and i am so grateful to be her mom
