Enjoying the Outdoors

The weather has been so wonderful for the last couple of days.  We've spent every possible moment outside enjoying it, soaking up the sun and warmth since the rain is moving back in today.  Some of the things we've been enjoying while we soak up the spring sun include:

crocheting many rainbow chains
(and wearing them in a variety of ways)


brushing up on the baseball skills
(first game is this Saturday!)


tracking down stray balls


hiding treasure
(probably cars)


picking flowers


chasing siblings
(he needed a rainbow spell cast on him)

  1. I love the rainbow yarn. I have something very similar,maybe even the same. I love the picture of your children chasing. Mine love to do it as well and that's what they do in playground instead of actually climbing or swings.:)

  4. Ooooh...I love finger knitting. I think my girls' first finger knitting project was jumpropes. Seems like we braided several really long strands together. And SOMEWHERE on the internet we found wooden jumprope handles to buy and attach to the yarn. Lots of fun!

  6. All that fun outside...it makes me want to head out there right now. Spring always reminds me of the time I learned to knit socks with my friend Amy and her son Aadien finger knitting at our feet!
