Springtime is in the air

Well, FINALLY, spring is in the air. We were able to visit the baby farm animals at the zoo in the morning, and go to the park in the afternoon. The kids were a happy pair.

These kids actually LIKE to be brushed.


Ahh, back on the swings. They were in their element.

Down the slide she goes... Notice the little daredevil in the background.


As part Spring's arrival, we had a hot dog picnic in the living room to celebrate the Minnesota Twins' opening game. Thisis the ONE day a year that dad permits the kids to eat in front of the TV. Of course the game was not a strong performance by the good guys, but the kids had a lot of fun.


This morning Anna insisted on moving her learning tower in front of the sink. I didn't see the harm in it, and she quickly began to do the dishes. THIS IS A GREAT DAY. Pretty soon I can have my little servants doing all sorts of chores. Notice the attention to detail, I can see our dishes will be sparkling and the whites will never be whiter once Anna takes over.


The kids back in the park... A happy day.
