Inside, Outside, Upside Down

You know it's spring when you are playing outside in short sleeves one day, and the next day you wake up to 2 inches of snow. We never know what we are going to wake up to until we look out the window in the morning. We have been taking advantage of every moment of sunshine and playing outside whenever we can. It makes those days when we are cooped up inside all day seem long and boring though. We try to get out and play somehow on those days too, even if it means a trip to the swimming pool or Chick-Fil-A's indoor play land. We also like to drive up to visit Grandma and Grandpa B since Grandma isn't working full time anymore.

I recently signed Miles and Leah up for classes at The Little Gym. I have always thought it would be fun to do some of these classes with the kids, but have just never got around to signing them up. Since the kids have turned my house into their own personal playground this winter I decided it was time to give them a good outlet for their energy and desire to climb anything and everything. They are really enjoying the classes so far. Miles loves to walk on the balance beam and do somersaults. Leah loves flipping over the bars and today she tried her first back handspring. She has no fear when it comes to trying something new. So far Miles has been happy to try everything out too and he is so proud of himself when he figures it out on his own. It has been really nice for Leah and I to have a little one on one time together too.

Leah had a rough couple of weeks. She got this bruise on her right eye one week.

And then the next week she got this one on her left.

So far this week we haven't had any, knock on wood. I tried to do pigtails in her hair several weeks ago, but they only lasted 5 minutes. She isn't a big fan of having her hair done.

We just picked Clay up from the airport this morning. He flew back to Illinois for the weekend to help celebrate a special someone's 70th birthday. Hopefully he brought back some fun pictures for us from the party since we weren't able to join him this time. Wish we could have been there too, but hope you had a Happy Birthday Grandpa U! Uncle Brett had a big birthday this year too, if my math is right he turned 40 last week!
