Outside at Last

I have been waiting for nicer weather very patiently, much more patiently than my children, I might add.  They liked to beg all winter if they could pleeeease go to the park.  Anyway, most days now are nice enough to go outside.  Sometimes I even get to send the two older girls out to the backyard to play by themselves. They play out there for a long time, so that is really nice.  Here is a time we all went to the backyard together.

It is a little hard to tell, but Whitney is holding a little water gun.  We gave her a pack of cheap water guns for her birthday.  One particular warm day, we decided to open them up.  The girls and I had a blast squirting each other for like a full forty minutes.  So that was really fun.

Then Will came home from work and decided to try out his bubble magic for the first time this season.

Rachel especially loved chasing the big bubbles.

The girls each tried to make their own big bubbles; the bubble wand only got dragged through the grass a couple of times.

Whitney made some bubbles for Megan, who really liked watching the water gun fight and the bubble making.  

Some days it is still a little chilly and I don't want to take the baby outside.  Megan is just watching Whitney and Rachel play.  Staring out the window is one of Megan's favorite past times.

And just a couple of cute Megan pictures because I haven't updated the blog in awhile.  We had a box fun day and even Megan enjoyed it.  She got really into hitting the sides of the box.

Now that Megan can roll over and slide herself backwards and twist herself in circles, she has gotten into some tough spots - like this one with her head under the coffee table.  Sorry baby.

So that has pretty much summed up the last couple of weeks.
