Oh HAPPY day!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE warm weather!! I soooo have SPRING FEVER and so do my children!!! Troy is on call this weekend :( so we are on our own. I had to go get some groceries and on way home--we stopped off at the school and the kids played for about an hour--they had a BLAST and the weather was PERFECT---FIFTY degrees!!!

Tyler, Brandon, and Kara ran wild--all over. They loved it ALL. Emily, on the other hand, was terrified of climbing on anything---yes, I said Emily---the child who CLIMBS on anything and everything at home--ya the one who will fall of the kitchen table and get right back up and do it again!!!! Who knows what her deal was, but she was terrified of climbing on anything at the playground. She would head up to go down the slide, and then she would just freak!! I finally got her to go down a slide-but she wasn't too happy about it!! Tyler even tried helping her and she still wasn't interested!! She was content to play down on the ground. She didn't even like the swings!! She wanted to stay ON THE GROUND! She will definitely change--because we play at playgrounds quite a bit and summer is coming!!! :) Brooke was content in her car seat--I did get her out for awhile and she of course liked to be held.

The few poses I tried with everyone--are quite entertaining!! The sun was bright and in their eyes!! Brandon was hilarious---he was smiling hard, but couldn't open his eyes because of the sun!! I just laughed!!

After the playground escapade---we went to Pizza Hut and got the kids personal pan pizzas. Tyler has gotten them from reading each night. The kids thought that was pretty cool. Then we came home and played outside for a couple of hours (my kids would LIVE outside).

As they were playing outside--the neighbors' puppy came over!! They had a blast playing with it!! Who needs a dog, when the neighbors' comes over and plays with the kids?! Perfect, because I don't really do dogs!! The kids were freaked out at first, but eventually warmed up to it!! It was quite entertaining!!

Tyler ran right up to it--Kara warmed up to it eventually!!

Didn't take Kara long to play!!

I LOVE Kara's expression here!!

Brandon stayed back and watch at first!!

Then, he happily joined in once he realized the puppy would not hurt him! Funny kid!

Emily even joined in on the FUN!!

We definitely do NOT need a dog of our own---our neighbor has PLENTY!!!

We really had a fun day---we were bummed Troy had to work ALL day--ya TEN calls just today!! Poor guy!! We missed him and hope tomorrow is NOT as busy for him!!!
