Spring is Really, Really Here (Really).

I think Mother Nature is finally done teasing us. It seems spring has arrived and is in full force now - hooray! We've even started buying t-shirts and shorts and carrying around the sunblock. We've sure enjoyed being out in nature again. We spend several hours outside each day - sometimes in our yard or at the grandparents', or a park, or a garden... it doesn't matter where, as long as the sun is shining and we're surrounded by beautiful plants. My kids are absolutely obsessed with catching bugs (notice the one above of Bubs - a bug cage around his neck and a bug vacuum in hand!). They seem to especially love potato bugs and spiders. And worms. Gross. But hey, it keeps them VERY entertained. There hasn't been a day in the past 4 weeks that they haven't caught some kind of little friend.

These two were taken in the field at my parents' house.
