Five wheelin'

It was an absolutely perfect evening. Now that it has finally warmed up around here, and since the sun doesn't set until almost 8, we have plenty of time to enjoy the great outdoors with the kids after dinner. The dishes, we learned tonight, can wait until the kids go to sleep, and there's lots of ground to be covered before it gets dark.

Abby's really loving being back on her bike again and happily rode/walked all the way around the neighborhood on it. Caleb, just about a half an inch short of being able to reach the pedals, was content to scoot with his toes or (mostly) to let me push him on the tricycle while he stuck his legs out to the sides and made "zoom!" noises.

The kids hardly know what to do with themselves with all the time we've been spending outside. In addition to all the time we can spend at the park now, I've gotten into the habit of kicking Abby out into the backyard to explore while I get dinner ready (which she loves) and Caleb is experiencing the joys of sidewalk chalk for the very first time.

I love you, warm weather. Please stay.
