Warm Weather

Winter in Colorado Springs is not that bad.  The sun comes out nearly every day, when it snows it usually melts within a day or two and cold and snowy days are interspersed with milder days.  That said, I still wish it were spring already.  Or better yet, summer.

We had some warmish weather this week.  Some of it we were too sick to enjoy (we've had a stomach bug going around the family), but Monday we were able to go out and soak up some of our late winter sunshine and warmth.  It got up to 70.  It was so nice and made me even more eager for spring.  Here's Grant playing at the water table.  It was his first time playing with it and he thought it was very interesting.

 Anna helped him catch some little fish toys in the water table.  Then she pretended to grill and eat them.  

 

Grant really tried to eat them.

 Sometimes he'd pick something up that he thought was too wet and throw it back in.

 Anna and Matthew practiced riding bikes and scooters around the small patio in the back.

It's not a very easy place to ride, but they made it work.

Grant's big accomplishment was that he learned to crawl down a step.  I've been trying to show him for a while how to do it, and today he mastered it.  He can do one step.  Don't know about the stairs yet.

Matthew had to get out all the outdoor toys that haven't been seen in a while.  Notice the shorts and short sleeves.

And here's Grant coming back up the steps.  He had a lot of fun exploring the yard since it is all new to him.  I'm hoping we have many more warm days ahead!!
