Get Outside and Play!

Finally!

Finally we have a break from the freezing weather and I can say those words I love to speak …
“Get outside and play!“.

In no way do I believe that Spring it on it’s way, yet this break in weather sure makes a person think it is. Back and forth, back and forth – like taking off a bandaid slowly.

Just get on with it already, rip it off and bring on the next season!

    I am SO SO SO glad that the weather has let up a little bit.
    Now maybe we can enjoy winter!

      Exactly! There’s been no sledding, skating or anything in the -30 & -40 weather. Enough!!!!

    Fantastic photos of the girls! I love the way you blurred the background just enough to make them the focus of the pictures. Their beautiful faces really pop!

    Yeah, my mom asked if the kids had been outside to play in the snow. I reminded her that it was way too cold to be out there playing. Brrr.
    Maybe today and we are getting fresh snow too.
    Lovely photos. They look happy to be out there.

      Right?! There’s no outdoor anything when your face can freeze off in minutes. The girls had been asking to play outside, it’s a shame to have to say no. Now? Go, Go, Go!!! lol

    It’s nice that you are finally getting a break from cold weather. It’s been back and forth in Nebraska. Warm, cold, cold, warm. We haven’t gotten much snow. I was hoping for some good sled riding.

      I’m looking forward to skating and sledding again, we haven’t done much of it due to the freezing weather. -30 & -40 should not be allowed, ever!!

    Your girls are so adorable. Is one generally more serious than the other, or is it just these photos?

      02/19/2014 at 6:33 am

      You are correct Rhonda! I love how photos show their personality so well. Sophia {first photo} is my outgoing twin. She’s always smiling, jumping and is very athletic. Katie {second photo} is quiet, timid, always in thought and 100% full of feelings. I always said that Sophia is the one most likely to punch you, then Katie comforts you. BUT, if Katie has reached her limit, she can snap, in ways worse that Sophia. She’s just more sly about it and will punch you when no one is looking. Ha!!

    This winter has for sure had some SUPER cold days! My kids love playing outside, so they are always happy for the “warmer” days since they can stay outside so much longer!

    My daughter’s getting used to the cold! This morning I asked her if she might want to go outside and play today, and she looked at me incredulously and said. “Nope.” And when I asked why, she said “Because it’s too cold!” Unfortunately the little girl I babysit showed up without snow pants, otherwise I would have sent them out the door!

    I think I say that to my children at least 14 times a day, except right now it’s way too HOT for them to be outside, at least 36C and 70% humidity!
