outside

The kids could barely tear themselves away from their outdoor play this evening for dinner, and I have to admit, it was rather nice to just *be* outdoors. We poked around in the flower beds looking at the daffodil shoots which are getting longer now.

Finn just wants to pick the remaining winter pansies.

I also spied a wee bit of green coming out from the hydrangea.

Elizabeth gathered more rocks, this time for a treasure chest.

Then she toted her treasures around the yard on their too-small, ages-old tricycle looking for more to add to the box...ahem, treasure chest.

Finn received a ride down the road in a neighbor's wagon.

And we were treated to a warm, glowing sunset to end our lovely time outside.
