Leo: Really getting the hang of this trike riding business!

Ronan: This kiddo's expressions kill me! We were at the park while the grass was being cut by a man in a big tractor, and another guy on a smaller ride-on mower. I guess Ronan didn't quite know what to make of them!

Leo: Ready for his first day at Kindy!

Ronan: Walking along the fence with help from Daddy.

Leo started kindy last week, and was more than ready for it; instructing myself and Ronan, "You can go home, I stay here"!

Leo: Feeding the ducks on his birthday.

Ronan: Enjoying the bouncy castle on his birthday.

We celebrated the boys' birthdays on Tuesday. Last year Ronan crashed his brother's birthday, and Leo got a baby brother for his 2nd! Their official "due dates" were different, but both boys were late, Leo by 5 days, and Ronan by 8. Of course, I joked the entire pregnancy  that I could be that lady, with the babies born years apart on the same day, and all the jokes that go along with that situation! I guess the universe thought, Hey, you know what? That actually WOULD be hilarious; here you go!

Leo:  Puddle Jumping!

Ronan: Outside in the sunshine, with fistfuls of bark.

Finally a day without rain! Jodi mentioned it over on her blog this week, but I too am over winter. Cold, dreary and so many bugs going around; Of course once you have two kidlets, they like to tag team the sickness so it seems never-ending! It also doesn't help that so many blogs I keep up with, not to mention my feeds on Pinterest & Instagram, are filled with bright and shiny images of a Northern Hemisphere summer. I'm really looking forward to warmer weather in the near future!

Updating early for the first time in weeks as a busy weekend of (dinosaur!) birthday party prep and hosting of said party awaits!
