Thankfully, we were finally able to partake in some spring-like weather this weekend. I say that like it's been a really long winter, but it really hasn't. Only the last few weeks have been rough. I don't think the groundhog was right this year. Is he ever?
Nate started his spring break on Friday, so we were able to all go to the park. The kids (and me) loved being outside. It was so nice to be out without a coat. The coats get old about mid-February. Lila is ever so uncooperative for photo ops but Nate tied her down for me. She loved it. Not.
On Saturday, the weather was even better so we sat outside for quite some time just soaking it in. Nate climbed in the bushes....
while Lila tried to push and ride at the same time.
Then she needed some Elmo love, as always. Nate looked upset last night and when I asked him what was wrong, he said, "Mom, I think Lila is really getting carried away." To which I replied, "with what?" ELMO, he says. So funny. I reminded him that I also knew a little boy who once had an extreme love of Elmo.
On the weekends that Scott works, I find myself hearing about Legos non-stop. Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Star Wars. You name it. I get told it. Told it, as in he doesn't really want me to answer and gets frustrated with me when I try to finish a story or description he's trying to tell me. I'm sure it will be useful information one day:)
After a while, Nate went back in and Lila and I sat outside and talked, sang songs, and recorded videos. It was a blast.
We are getting better at the weekends without Scott around. It is an adjustment, but one for the better. He loves his job and gets to do something extremely fulfilling every day. For that, we are very thankful.
I've also mandated that when we are all getting frustrated with each other (mainly me), we just turn on Call Me Maybe. We all feel better then.
