A Break From The Cold!

We have had a little break from the awful, cold weather that we've been dealing with all winter and we are taking full advantage! It was 60 degrees yesterday and we did everything we could to enjoy it. We know it won't last. I mean, it's only February and in the Midwest that means we have another 2 months or so of cold weather before we can really start to enjoy the idea of spring.

So, after I took an awesome run outside yesterday morning (so nice to get away from the track and the treadmill!), Chris went out for his run and then the boys and I met him for a walk. The boys wore their rain boots so that they could splash in puddles and play in the mud and they had a blast! I of course forgot the camera, but I did get a few pictures of them when we got home.

Then, in the afternoon Chris and Carver decided to head up to Iowa City for the Hawkeye basketball game, so Kayden and I headed to the park for a while. He was loving it! He had everyone laughing as he just ran and ran screaming around the playground.

We're expecting more nice days for at least the beginning of the week so we're already planning trips to the park and lots of walks. So, if you don't hear from us it's because we're enjoying being outside before all of our fun is spoiled and the temperatures drop once again.

Carver was showing Kayden how to splash in the puddles.

Then Kayden thought he'd give it a try. :)

Oh, boys will be boys, they had so much fun getting soaking wet and muddy. :)

I have some great stories for you that I've been saving up from the boys so stay tuned.... I'll try to get those up tomorrow night. :)
