ow-sigh

Nathan is a complete nature freak, all winter long he has been lamenting the lack of outside play time. We have finally had a few nicer days lately, so we have been outside as much as possible. When he wants to go outside, he stands by the back door saying "Ow sigh. Ow sigh." If that doesn't receive the desired response, he will run to the laundry room where we keep the shoes and say "shoooos. Shooos. Ow sigh shoos." We went out twice yesterday and have been out for almost 2 hours this morning.

I am grateful for the nicer weather, the little hint of spring, and the fact that when we are outside the kids are happier to entertain themselves. An additional bonus is that my house stays much cleaner when we are outside the whole time we are awake, so I am happier all around. Seriously, who's idea was winter anyway? Well, I am off to play with the kiddos again outside, and enjoy the nicer weather while we have it!
