I love this weather for playing outside. The kids are not going to know what to do when the snow starts flying. On most days the first words after breakfast are "I'm going outside" or "Can you put the garage door up?" They have such great imaginations that outside keeps them busy for many hours. Yesterday they spent probably a half hour cutting up paper tickets. Then Casey probably spent a half hour shooting his slingshot at the wastebasket that was a rabbit. FYI for anyone reading this, I did supervise this activity as we don't want to end up in the emergency room with a slingshot wound! They also spend many hours riding bikes and giving their stuffed animals rides.
Chelsea loves playing outside too. One of her favorite thing to do is play on the slide. She likes to see if she can climb up it. She usually just ends up sliding down on her belly. Other than the slide though she is content just to be outside. She gets into her share of trouble as she tries to eat rocks, or climb up the porch steps. She is beginning to take more steps. The most I've seen is 7. Seems like she gets a little better each day. I have a feeling her days of crawling are coming to an end soon and before I know it she will be running! As you can see from this picture of her she is also enjoying eating food other than baby food. She loves chewing on corn cobs. The other night she was double fisted but I didn't get a picture of that one.
