Is spring finally here?

Hard to believe that I have been excited for the 50 degree weather we have been having. When the sun is out it is actually quite nice to get outside and do something rather than be stuck in the house again.
The boys are loving the ability to ride their bikes again. This season we will be working on Dylan getting rid of the training wheels on his bike. The last time he was out on it he wanted them off right then but Dave and I weren't ready for it. Luckily the new helmet we bought him came with wrist and knee pads :)
Aidan is liking the fact that he can once again use chalk and draw on the driveway. I just wish the chalk wasn't so darn messy on his clothes.
Keira is quite funny outside because she doesn't like to walk on the grass because it is uneven. The other day when we were out front she refused to walk off of the driveway because the sidewalk was a bit bumpy and god forbid she walk on the lawn (if that is what you want to call it right now). We decided to look for acorns on the lawn and so I picked her up and brought her on the lawn and she just stood in that one spot the whole time the boys and were walking around looking for acorns. Unfortunately we only found 2 in the flower bed but we did find a ton of holes from where the squirrel(s) had dug some up.
Just looking forward to more warm days to get outside.
