Getting out of the house

Since Charlotte's arrival, we have spent most of our time cooped up in our house. The longer we're inside all day, the smaller and smaller the house seems to get! But, I've been so scared of her getting sick and the weather has been so wet and cold lately -- I also haven't gotten her out at night yet -- so we've been spending LOTS of time at home!

Thankfully, this past week we had a little reprive from all the cold and actually reached 60 degrees!! Harrison and I made a special trip to Walmart to get some outside necissities -- chalk and bubbles. I bought the big bubble blowers which were a hit! We spent as much time as possible outside the past few days and it was great for all of us! We ran laps around the house, drew with chalk, played ball, had a bubblepaloozza and played with our scooters. What a nice change from being inside all day!!

I love the smile on Harrison's face! He was SOOOOO excited about the bubbles....and dumping them out! I think he went through 3 jars of bubbles in an afternoon. :)

Madeleine created a picnic for her baby. This brings back so many memories of what Sharon and I would do outside when we were little -- this looks just like something we'd have done!

Although I don't have any pictures of it -- the kids must have made the trip back and forth on the sidewalk between out neighbors house and ours AT LEAST 40 times on their scooters. They were both exhausted that night!

And what did Miss Charlotte do during all this fun???? She slept the afternoon away in her carseat outside!

And now we're counting the days until Spring is here to stay. Madeleine is CONVINCED that March = Spring. I think she's going to be in for some major disappointment when next week rolls around and it's still cold. Boo.
