Spring!!

I am so excited that it's finally spring! The other day when I checked the 10-day forecast, the highs were nearly all in the 80's. I love it.

We have been frequenting the park quite a bit since the weather has turned warm. I am a bit of a wimp, so it has to be near 80 for me to be outside without a jacket on. Last week was perfect for that.

Troublemakers

I got my new iPhone 4 in the mail today, right as we were finishing our lunch. The boys wanted to go outside to play, so I thought that would be a good opportunity to get it all set up, while watching them from the comfort of my couch in the living room.

It's a nice warm day out, so I guess they thought it would be fun to play in the water. After about 10 minutes of that, I told them no more. They were getting wet, and things were getting messy out there. About 10 minutes later, I look outside and they are dousing themselves in MUD, all the while chanting "we are bad. we are throwing mud. etc. etc."

I was not a happy mommy, but I knew what I needed to do: take pictures.


I was going to make them suffer the consequences by putting them under the faucet outside with cold water. But the mud was too caked on...they need hot water. So, I stripped them down (and then they took that opportunity to pee in the grass... ugh) and took them straight to my shower.

As of now, they are in sleepyland, and I'm crossing my fingers for a long one today!

Soccer Season

It's going to be a bit crazy this spring, as both boys are playing soccer. They are just far enough apart in age that they can't play on the same team. Both had their first game on Saturday: Hudson at 1:30 and William at 3. They both loved it! William was a little apprehensive when we first got there, but he warmed up quickly and did his share of chasing after the ball.

It was pretty cold and windy, but that didn't bother Hudson. He was the only kid in shorts, and of course, his sleeves rolled up!

William, on the other hand, isn't quite as tough (like his mama) when it comes to cold! He has on pants and long sleeves under his soccer clothes!

Our Friday Night

The boys had their friends, Emily and Sophie, over for a fun Friday evening. We started the evening by me painting their faces. The boys are really into having their faces painted these days...  I made homemade pizza and we watched Beauty and the Beast. They had a blast, and I had a world of fun cleaning up their fun.
