My friend Danielle started this cute blog encouraging parents to take their kids out to play every day in April, rain or shine. We decided to take on the challenge, which I thought wouldn't be too hard considering that "outside time" is a crucial part of our routine. However, the last few days of March were cold and wet, and I wondered if I really would be able to do outside time if the dreariness continued. Fortunately the weather broke on April 1st and we had no problem doing our 30 minutes (and more) a day this weekend.
I love watching the boys play outside and joining in as well. Davin loves his ongoing sports fantasy; he still hits golf balls and baseballs all over the yard but he has recently been introduced to volleyball (he likes to hit the ball over a string of lights that hangs between our deck and a tree), likes to play tennis, and has a pretty good basketball shot as well. Rowan loves the swings and playing in the sand box. Even simple things become great games, like when they took turns hiding under a big blue bucket. Of course there is plenty of dirt and mud, but I'm resigned to the fact that it just comes with the territory.
