Puddle Jumping & Snow Stomping

I feel like I am back home in New England. Our spring out here in NY has been incredibly crazy. One day we are wearing T-shirts and shorts, the next day we are pulling the winter coats out of the attic (yes I put them away too early) and then the next day we are donning rain gear. Our yard is a little lower than our neighbors and we seem to get all the run off. It has made for a pretty muddy yard. And a very busy mop. I can't stand to be cooped up in the house, so we have been outside rain or shine and I will be so happy when the yard is mud free. Yesterday, Eden lasted 5 mins before she was covered. She, like Lily didn't quite like being dirty and they started to cry. Plus I'm sure the mud was cold. So I gave them both a nice warm bath and dressed them back up to do it all over again, but this time we went out front and rode bikes in the driveway. And when daddy got home we headed to the park down the street. The wood chips keep it nice and dry. I would love a designated play area with wood chips or round stone for the kids to play in the back yard without getting all soaked in mud. That would be lovely.
Now Brace yourselves for tons of pictures, After all I got into all this blogging business to keep my mom up to date on all the happenings with the family. And what Grandma doesn't want to see lots of pics of her little grandbabies havin fun @ the park.

Heading Home, Eden trying to sneak in another round on the play set. She kept saying, "One more one more!"

Park Tour 2009


My Hubby had a lovely idea of doing a park tour. He got a map of all the local parks and every chance we get, weather permitting, we are going to explore a new park. We went to our two favorites first of course. We are, after all, creatures of habit. But I love his Idea and I am looking forward to it as much as the kids. Can you tell? Kevin took this picture of me attempting the monkey bars. I didn't even make it to the second bar. Haha. Mommy needs to work out :)
This park is right on a big beautiful lake. And the best part is it's free. And the girls were wiped out and ready for bed when we got home. :)
One very happy little munchkin.
