Sweatshirt Weather!

We are starting to experience warmer temps and it feels amazing!  The kids want to be outside every second when it is nice out. 

Believe it or not they can play Frozen outside too!  : )  They use our deck as the ice castle and Mallory runs around pretending to turn everything into ice.  They sometimes even try to get the dog involved into their shenanigans.  Which our dog is not very smart and she doesn’t get it and starts acting like she is clinically ill and running super fast and every which direction with her tongue hanging out so far that she might trip herself.  Yeah.  She’s a beast.  

As soon as it reached 40 degrees outside Mallory has been asking for a campfire.  We still had a yard full of snow and she wanted a campfire!  She finally got her first fire!  Had to be on the patio though because it was way too wet and muddy by our other firepit.

If you give Mally & Max a campfire… they are going to ask for juice and marshmallows to go with it. 

I think I need to start being a bit more of stickler on my kids appearance.  Sheesh!  They are raggamuffin looking kids!  See… I let them dress themselves because they are so fussy about clothes.  They both don’t like blue jeans and they need a certain shirt each day.  So I let them do it.  Matching or not matching.  I attempt to get Mallory’s hair combed each day (but there are days that get missed) and she doesn’t like her hair up so it is down and by the end of the day she is a hot mess.  Max.  He won’t let you come near him with an attempt to do his hair!  Not a chance!  He’ll bust out the ugly cry if you try!  So I don’t try anymore!  And well… this is why they look like this.  Except on Sunday… Sundays I try to steer them into nicer (or matching) clothes. 

Oh hey!  Do you remember this guy?  He would be the guy we call Daddy around here!  He doesn’t usually sit still long enough for me to get a camera shot of him.  But I caught him relaxing next to the campfire! 

We are very ready for more summer nights and campfires!
