ALMOST Spring

Today was so nice and warm. We did some work in the backyard, and it was so nice to feel like spring is here.
Jess actually did the work. I dug up a few weeds. I'd do like 2 at a time, and that was enough to make me winded and I'd start to feel nauseous. So I'd rest a while, and repeat. Cason was so excited to play outside. Paige came out in her pjs (or adult sized t shirt) and Jess found her the first ladybug of the year. She was pumped, and I went to get the camera. When I got back out she was saying it flew away, and looked disappointed. I told her "That's okay, I'll just get a picture of you. Smile." Right as I was about to take her picture I spotted the lady bug in her hair. She was happy about that.
Later this afternoon she heard birds chirping, and I guess because she's into Snow White and Sleeping Beauty she held her hand up and called out "Come ON little birdies, come on to me. Come on to my hand." She was pretty disappointed when no birds came to land on her finger.

They both spent hours outside today, on the playset mostly, but also just digging in the dirt.
Jess had a basketball game tonight, so he had his dinner late. The boy keeps on eating like a champion, so he told Jess "SOME!" and climbed on to his lap. He likes almost everything, but he kept pointing and telling Jess "KWARN", which is "corn".
He's been getting funnier and funnier with his toys. He plays like such a boy. He'll bring me a toy, usually this little plastic kitten, and he'll have one or two "guys" of his own. They'll say "HI!" and before long he'll start slamming his toy into mine, and ask "funny?" So I'll tell him "No, it's not funny, you hurt me!" and fake cry. Then he goes "Sad?" and makes a sad face. They also fall a lot, screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" all the way, and the other toys have to "help".
