Lovin' Warmer Weather

It would appear that hibernation is over...at least for the weekend! Yesterday was beautiful--in the 70s and we were outside ALL day! Any time we would go inside, Carter would say "out-side" and run to the back door.

At one point, when Nick brought him in the front door from playing on the golf course for a little while, he layed down in the floor and pitched a complete fit about being inside. We got some juice, went back out side, and he was perfectly fine! The boy knows when the weather is warm.

We dug out the sidewalk chalk, and Carter had quite the time dumping it out, coloring the driveway, putting it back in the bucket and taking it back in the garage. It was a cycle we completed any number of times over the course of the afternoon.


When we finally put the sidewalk chalk to rest for a while, Carter decided to go play with on the play set in our backyard. The playset was here when we moved in, so it isn't entirely toddler friendly, but that didn't stop him. He tried to climb up the ladder to get to the monkey bars (he didn't go too far, but loved leaning over and hanging under the rungs). We had taken his swing inside for the winter, but we left the "big boy" swings up. He was determined to swing in one of them, so...
He thought he was big stuff. I held on to the chains over his hands and pushed him back and forth and he loved it! This weekend made me so excited for summer and playing outside more often!

Carter is so cute! I love the pictures of him swinging! His elephant shirt is adorable...you'll have to let me know where you bought it...you know, I married an Alabama fan so I've got to find Alabama stuff that doesn't say roll tide!! This mixed marriage is tense during football season!

The "anonymous" comment is me...you obviously know that I'm not super handy with the blogging!

I'm so glad that y'all had good weather and were able to get outside. Wish y'all could have been there with us to get LBF "in shape." Can't wait for us all to be together!

Love you!

"That Carter man" is leaving his baby phase behind and really becoming a personality. Cannot wait for you to share him with us at LBF. We miss you all terribly.
Love
