Eking Out The Last Of The Good Stuff

The weather is changing. It is getting warmer by the day and so we are trying to eke out every last second of outdoor time that we can. Here we have five minutes of winter, a day of spring and then it is summer again. This weekend the predicted high is 86. Eighty freaking six degree's, heaven help me I will melt.

Lily had to make a kite for a school project and it was returned home yesterday (proudly displaying an A) so this afternoon the weather was lovely with a nice breeze so we headed out to the park to fly it. One of the requirements for the project was that it had to fly.

Well that kite may have flown when her and Jacob took it out for it's maiden flight and it may have flown at school when she presented it but it would not fly today. It went up, twirled in lots of annoying circles and then swiftly plummeted to the ground.

All was not lost though as we went to a new park and the kids had a great time. I was playing with them and due to daylight savings time, I lost all track of time and the fact that we needed to eat dinner and that it was a school night, oh well, never mind.

Some twirly contraption that entertained them for ages. Rosie would get so dizzy that she couldn't walk straight.

Lily literally fell down the slide. Wingnut! She didn't get hurt and couldn't stop laughing. She was sliding perfectly well when all of a sudden she flipped and fell the rest of the way..
Rosie showing a lot more grace on the same slide.
