Spring Fever

Although I'm grateful for for pretty mild winter, I am grateful it is almost over! Today the nasty wind took the day off and the sun was bright and warm making a BEAUTIFUL day. I even got extra outside time after I locked myself out of the house and had to walk to my mom's house to get a spare key. 2 miles. (I had already gone on a 2 mile run earlier in the day, woo whoo 4 miles total! My legs are a little tired)


Both of my girls LOVE being outside almost better than anything, so we had lots of fun playing in the dirt for a couple hours.
Who'd have thought playing in the dirt could be done so daintily.

Trin is holding an old sunflower stem and insisted that we "STICK FIGHT!" She loved that she won every time by breaking my stems that were much skinnier than her own portly stem she found.

Basking in the sunshine..

The girls decided that they would help daddy turn the soil in our garden. Alex has been working on making new garden beds out of cinder blocks. :) I Can't wait for fresh veggies!

Amazingly we already have some onions sprouting out. All of our daffodils and tulips greens are starting to emerge, I just forgot to a picture of those but I will for sure as soon as they start blooming!

Eliana was completely content digging and digging..

Trin is getting very excited to help plant and weed. I guess we'll see about the weeding.. Alex let her help weed a couple times last year and she would randomly get a little carried away and pull whole squash or tomato plants out.

Eliana let me know that is was time to go inside and have lunch after she apparently got so hungry she though she'd give a mouthful of dirt a try. She didn't like it much, and I guess she was mad at me for neglecting to feed her as you can see by the finger she is showing me. Tatton will be proud of this one. haha.
