Spring has Sprung

The weather here has been pure perfection lately! We've spent so much time outside this week b/c we just haven't been able to get enough! It's been amazing! I keep thinking we'll get a random wind storm {I've never lived anywhere so windy in my life!} & winter will make a reappearance, but Derek says he started seeing ash pollen in the counts at work this week. If you're like me and that means nothing to you, apparently ash is the "spring herald" & this means spring should be here to stay?!

 

 



I've been dropping the girls off for school in the morning and then Brady and I will walk and/or run and hop from park to park until it's time to pick up Hadley from Pre-K at 10:30.

 

 

 

Then once we've eaten lunch and gotten Brady down for his nap, Hadley has been happily playing outside and I've even been able to read for a bit while soaking up the sunshine! We had a decent sized yard in San Antonio, but the girls hardly ever played in it. We always laugh b/c now that we don't have a yard at all {just the pool & rocks}, the girls adore playing in our "backyard." This week Hadley has been climbing on our waterfall {I try to pretend this doesn't make me nervous}, dipping chalk in the pool and then "chalk painting," making rock families, and who knows what else. Lots of imaginative independent play!

 

 

 



 

Another highlight of the week was Hadley wearing Shelby's old jean jacket for the first time, and she was smitten. She adores wearing cardigans for whatever reason, and I'm pretty sure this jean jacket {which Shelby I think wore all of two times} will be worn out by Hadley! As soon as it was clean & back in her closet, she immediately picked it back out to wear again!

 

And we've been working our way through some Disney classics courtesy of the library b/c the girls were confused about some of the characters/rides after our recent trip to Disneyland. ;)  Once we got home from our trip, we immediately put Pinochio, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Mary Poppins on hold. So far Alice in Wonderland has been their favorite, and it was also my favorite b/c Brady was totally into the bright colors/lights and actually sat & watched for a good while!

Happy Friday to you! :)
