Picture Perfect Day

Dylan and I took advantage of the warm weather and an unusually long nap from Avery and headed outside this afternoon.  I think it was the warmest it's been all year today.  Our snow is finally almost gone and the ice is looking heavier and heavier each day.  Summer is coming people!  Look alive!

What is crazy is there was a pickup out on the ice this morning. I mean, this ice looks really not safe.  I just don't understand the logic (or lack there of) behind that.

As usual, we had to make use of the camera timer - our favorite!  We did a few yoga poses together here too, but I was able to capture some better ones later on (see below).

Yeah, so he's wearing shorts already.  He was wanting to try on his new summer clothes today and then he refused to take them off when I told him we were going outside.  I tried!

He has NOT outgrown the "I don't want to smile nicely for you" phase yet.  Boo.

Still pretty cute though.

And here was yoga time.  I thought the bright sun would create a nice contrast with the ice and I was right!  Fabulous!

He ditched me!  Waah!

Then Avery got up and the sun went behind the clouds.  Lame!  (the clouds, not Avery)

As usual, Avery was not into the "stand by your brother and smile" directions.  She never likes my ideas!

This idea was fun for ohhhh about 1 minute.  And then it made her mad.

This idea made her mad too.

See, MAD!

Much better!

The swingset is surrounded by water, so I did NOT like THIS idea.  MUD.  Grrrrrrr.

BUT - guess who learned how to pump!?!  Finally!

Our neighbor Ingrid is going to be so proud when she returns from Mexico.  She tried to convince him to learn how to swing on his own last summer but he was having no part of it.

That's all for today!  No food for you!  I've been making things, but nothing worth noting.  I did make some pretty awesome chimichangas, but didn't take a picture.  Perhaps next time!   We are off to the cities tomorrow so Eric can go to the Frozen Four.  So, see ya later!
