Sunny Spring Park Day

We packed some snacks and headed to the park for the afternoon. It was one of the first really warm and sunny days we've had this year. Though Esperanza and Ezra were the oldest kids at the park, surrounded by toddlers, they had a ton of fun climbing on all the equipment and running around. I sat in the grass and did some crochet work on Ezra's blanket while there and soaked in some vitamin d from the sun rays. 

Zoo Times Two

We went to the zoo not once but TWICE last week! Our friends have a membership and invited us to go with them both times. It had been a very long time since we went. I'm torn between feelings of pleasure at how much my kids enjoy seeing the animals, and the sadness I feel towards the animals living in captivity for the sake of mine and my kids' pleasure. It's a tough balance. But we all had a lot of fun and I kind of want to take the kids back more often because of how much the kids enjoyed it there.

Cornstarch & Water

Ezra thinks it's pretty cool.

It is.

 

Dress Up Day With Cousins

Yareli and Estevan stayed with us earlier this week. They dressed up in  costumes and got silly for a little bit one day.

Also, signs of spring are springing up around the yard. Buds on the kiwi monster are forming.
