Wishing For Spring

Zoe has been dressing in summer dresses, skirts, sunglasses and sandals.  She is just voicing the need that everyone else is hoping for, but she is going all out by also dressing the part.  So this past weekend was a wonderful glimpse to spring starting to spring. 
Zoe put on her Hello Kitty boots, that now actually fit, and marched through the wet snow.  I think she was tired of the snow boots.
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit on Sunday so everyone spent some time outside.  We spent it on the driveway and sidewalk since that isn't affected by the snow making  the ground turn to mush.  Max had fun pushing the snow out of Grandpa's hand.  It was actually funny.  It really is the little things.
Everyone is just so much happier when we get to go outside.  We all get to run, and scream as loud as we want, and it just makes us look better too.
Max took Grandpa for a walk back and forth and back again on the sidewalk.  This walking thing is really cool.  He'll be running soon so we'll have a very active summer.
Zoe got to ride her scooter outside and let it all out.  She wasn't constrained by the small circle in the house, toys in the way, cooking dinner or Max deciding he needed to sit in the one path available.  She was also able to try a few tricks.
Everyone is happier when they get to spend time outside.  Even the emotional one. 
Daddy: "You're emotional"
Zoe: "Yeah, totally" said with a valley girl accent.
