Spring Fever

We have spring fever around here REALLY bad, and took advantage of a couple of the nice days we have had recently.  Allison LOVES being outside.  It is so fun to watch her explore everything!  Yesterday when it was time to come in for supper she threw the biggest fit and I could hardly blame her!  Especially knowing the forcast for today was not so great.  Such a dissappointment after the last couple days.  At least now we know these cold days will soon be over and we will be getting more and more nice ones!  Here's a couple pics of Allison outside.

She loves the swing.  It is actually our neighbor's.  They have a really nice swing set and last year they painted it and put in new swings just for Allison and Soren (our other neighbor boy) as their kids are too big for it now.  They said they just love watching our kids out there enjoying it.  They are so nice!!  She can see it from the patio and she points and says "wee, wee!".

A mud puddle and stick she found!  What a little tom boy!  Not one bit afraid of getting dirty and absolutely did not want to leave that puddle!  Her shoes might be ruined, but it was worth it!!  I scrubbed them and am trying to dry them, hopefully they will dry out by Christmas!  She actually just got new ones (these were her old ones) and they were almost too small anyway, but in perfect condition!  Oh, well!  I have a feeling she is going to be harder on her clothes now as she gets older!  Garage sales, here I come!
