One with NATURE!

I just can't get enough of the spring-y weather and being outside more! We love that our kids love nature and being outside!

There is a girl not afraid to pick up bugs (just like the Graham Girls!)...

And Carter doesn't mind the dirt and bugs either...he was actually face down doing a "dirt angel" the other day....ummmmm bath night anyone?!!?!

We had a wonderful Tues. with Pepere...both kids were home and we could just enjoy time together...

Pepere treated us to 3 hanging plants to beautify our back deck...and I love them so I took lots of pics of one of them and the kids playing in the yard behind...Thanks for the flowers Pepere-- we love them!

The kids are playing in the middle of the "kickball/dodge ball field"...not sure if any grass will come back this yr...that place has seen a lot of action...but the upside...perfect place for Carter's "dirt angels!" :)

I love this time of year! So nice to have so many family members around as we watch the world blossom and turn green (and yellow! pollen!!!) all around us!

Digging and becoming one with nature...

Hard at work...

The bug M caught...poor little guy...his world was rocked! But I love his habitat she made for the afternoon...he kept crawling up the stick in hopes of escape! (We always let them go at the end of the day...I'm sure they are quite relieved when we do!)

In the spring, at the end of the day,
you should smell like dirt.

I think Atwood would be pleased with our little people at the end of a spring day... :)
