HELLO, SPRING!

Can I just say how beyond excited we are for warmer weather?! Having children brings a whole new level of spring fever to the table...AKA get me and these beasts out of the house NOW, puh-lease! Although, I have to admit...they are some stinkin' adorable little beasts. Thank you to Old Navy for allowing me to finally find jeans that fit my tall & skinny toddler!

And dang...don't you wish you were a baby?! Snacks, juice, bean bag chair & Mickey Mouse...it must be rough.

Back to the warm weather...the first really nice day we had also happened to be the day Dustin returned from his 4 day business trip....hello, Louisville Zoo! Christian loves the zoo, Dustin & I love the exercise and Gavin, well Gavin loved the snacks. ;)

Speaking of Gavin...this is what happens when you fall asleep fighting naptime.

We've been spending every afternoon we can outside, and although he might not look it (this is pretty much his face for everything), Gavin loves being outside. He loves it so much, a full blown temper tantrum always ensues the second we start to head inside. And if someone goes outside with him?! Oh Lord. Life ender.

And after what seemed like an eternity of school being closed, the oldest was SO excited to get to go back this week. It was Dr. Suess week, so he got to wear his crazy socks one day. Him and that one cheek dimple just melt me!

We spent Sunday cleaning up from the birthday party, putting away/playing with Gavin's new birthday toys and then my favorite: cleaning out my car! To me, there is nothing that says spring like having a sparkling clean car to roll the windows down & enjoy the weather! 

Monday brought Gavin's 1 year check-up...can you tell how excited he was about vaccinations?! Sorry dude, I know they suck, but mom & dad are very much pro-vax...so get used to it!

After we got home from the torture center doctor's office, we had a picnic outside & played with caterpillars. 

And screamed at big brother because he wasn't going down the slide fast enough...

Had fun swinging...and then tried to break down the gate when I had the audacity to bring him back upstairs.

We finished the warmest day of the year with a trip to our local ice cream joint. It was Gavin's 1st ice cream & he's definitely a fan! He's also the cutest darn thing in mom's sunglasses & bandana bib from ObsessedMomma.

And we spent all morning playing in Gavin's room with his new birthday toys, walking back & forth from me to Christian and trying to not bite those fat little chunky thighs...seriously, his fat legs kill me! Christian is all skin & bones and Gavin is fat rolls galore...I love it.

And that's been our weekly recap! I'm off to get Gavin from his morning nap & back outside to play we go! 

Happy Tuesday everyone....oh, and Happy Saint Patrick's Day! 

Here's a throwback to last year's St. Paddy's Day for your viewing pleasure...

Oh, my little 3-day-old pumpkin baby (thanks, jaundice)!
