We've Been Doing a Lot of Running Around

We haven't really been BUSY, per say.  But it feels like we've been doing a lot of running around.  Doing stuff.  And then, you know, actually RUNNING.  Sometimes crawling, as Dex enjoys pretending he is an alligator and that Erin is his baby alligator.  Sometimes jumping, as Erin has rediscovered the big trampoline in the basement and thinks it's super fun.  Sometimes sledding, as we had MORE goddamn snow on Monday (St. Patrick's Day) and Dex and I both went sledding down the hill.  Dex told me I was out of control, because I went skidding across Mr. Mike's driveway and spun around in a circle.  We've had a couple of luxurious, nothing really to do weekends where we've done fun family things.  And today we ate ice cream at the corner for the first time this season.

Running around.  It's a good thing.

Went to a train show in Wilmington last Sunday.  Both kids were entertained.  Dex enjoyed the trollys again.  Erin could have stayed forever, I think.  The other day when we were driving to school Dex told me he could see Grandma and Grandpa's house (he has REALLY zoomy eyes).  Then he told me he could see Grandpa in his garage, testing out the Lionel trains so that when we go visit next weekend Dex won't have to wait for as long to play with them.  Best get crackin', Grandpa.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We did some running around on Wednesday before school.  Dex was pretending he and Erin were race cars.  Surprisingly, he always won.

And Erin wanted to show Aunt Jeanne her cute fake Uggs that I randomly found in a box of clothes in the basement.

Fast race cars don't wear shoes

We got one nice day today before winter returns.  So we went to the playground that nobody ever goes to.  Nobody was there.  Except Superman.  Riding a duck.

And also a pumpkin.  Riding a panda.

Huh.  Yeah.  I dunno either, Erin.

Slide baby

Super Climber

Running the bases

I think Dex is... pitching?  Maybe?  And John and Erin are "running" the bases.

Superman is super strong

Apparently she is missing the snow

John was swinging pretty high, til Dex told him to stop.  He didn't want Daddy to flip upside down.

First merry go round.  Is that what you call these things?

I can't remember why they both decided to "sleep" but they were really quite content to spin lying down.

I love how he's looking over for Erin, waiting for her to slide down next to him.

Ice cream!

Erin likes watching traffic, and REALLY REALLY likes it when loud motorcycles go by.  I'm really not even kidding.  She was freaking out with joy.

We're going to miss this little place when they move.  Where else will we be able to go watch cars?

We have no plans for tomorrow.  My guess is it will be filled with more running.
