Outside

This was the last time we made it outside to play.  Over two month ago!  I have mentioned how bitterly cold it has been.  We got our gas bill last week and it always shows the average temperature for the same time the previous year.  February's average temp was 9 this year, 10 degrees colder than last year!  I also mentioned that a warm-up was heading our way and today was evidence!  It was in the mid 40s and the puddles were growing so we threw on the galoshes to play outside.  Our neighbors were also enjoying the sunshine!

 Rollie was being very helpful...

Parker thought about helping, then changed his mind.

 Not much different than navigating MN roads in a real car.

 He finally got the courage to walk to the end of the driveway and had fun running from dad!

We are going to have more than 48 hours ABOVE freezing!  I am so ecstatic that there is finally a light at the end of this winter tunnel.
