All talk after church this morning was focused on the weather and what your plans were for the beautiful afternoon. My response was to be outside, as was most everyones. I mean, can you blame us... after a crazy winter storm on Friday and now temps in the 50's, who wouldn't want to be outside!
With that said, not once did I think my response of being outside would have included four straight hours of play. Let me tell you, I am tired!!! After baking a loaf of bread and fixing a batch of cookies, I heard the sounds of children increase from the bedrooms below. Instead of struggle with them to be quiet for "quiet time," we headed outside. The kids and I played with neighbors, I cleaned out my car, the kids adventured around the yard, they played with Eko, we went for a walk to the end of the street, Jon took a break from his homework and we all went for a longer walk, on the way back our neighbors were out again so we played some more, we rode bikes, we stomped out some snow, played tag... I think you get the idea!
I am SO looking forward to being outside this spring and summer. Hoping that I can boost up my energy a little bit more, although I suppose being wiped out after a day of play isn't a bad thing!
