goodbye winter

We ended winter with crafts (so many crafts), books, and games. Adam turned a rad 5, Paige and Dustin danced the night away with buddies, Noah napped well, and Seth began mastering paper airplane making.

Noah has not cared much for bicycles - he prefers scooters. Then one day Adam asked Dustin to put the training wheels back on and "gave" Noah his old bike. Now he likes riding bikes.

We have put away the fleece jackets and started breaking in this year's Crocs. There is a bunny living in the ornamental grass and so many new bugs to catch. The kids' Colorado shows when they expect to jump straight from winter to summer each year, and I had to relocate all the swimsuits to a top shelf as cries of, "Let's go swimming TODAY!" rang throughout the house. Allergies have been a real downer, but oh, how we love the green everywhere we look outside.
