Part of me wants to take away that ink pad and those stickers because this is not going to end well for me.  

But a bigger part is so happy that these two are playing happily and quietly with one another that I'm just going to sit back with my coffee and hope for the best.  

Springy Spring Spring

We spent all weekend outside, and it was glorious.  After the winter we had, it's such a relief to be in the sun.  We all have more energy and improved attitudes.  At the end of the day, the girls are dirty, happy, and sleepy.  

Vivi is particularly enthralled with the outdoors having no memory of warm weather.  She runs around the yard all day, tries to keep pace with the big kids, digs in the dirt, and cries when we have to go back inside.  I don't blame her.  

It's supposed to be rainy the next few days, so it's good that we got out while we could.  We have a lazy day of movie-watching and muffin-making before us.  

Happy Easter
