Outside outside and more outside

I can't think of any other titles for these posts.  Just spending as much time outside while the weather is good.  Jared has been spending the last few days with us.  I was running around taking him to meet up with his buddy at the skate park this afternoon after school.  In between, the girls and I spent every waking moment outside.  Our neighbors have a 7 year old daughter, so my girls are in heaven when she gets home from school.  We did sidewalk chalk and rode bikes and scooters with her.

Jared's buddy came to our house after the skate park and the boys continued to scooter in the driveway and around the neighborhood.  Syd and Sawyer loved having the boys over.  They are in absolute awe of the older kids.  They followed them around as much as possible! I know the teenagers aren't big fans, but it is so adorable to watch!

Here are just a few pictures from tonight.

Jared and his buddy doing tricks on the grind rail.

I'm thinking that all of my outside pictures this spring will be the girls wearing their helmets.  Scooter riding has become their sport of choice! Excuse the rash on their faces (around their mouths).  I had both girls at the doctors at the end of last week because of this rash.  Dr called it a contact rash from something they got into.  He asked me what I thought it might be from and I suspected that it was from the Easter Lily flower that they kept putting their faces on to smell!  The rash will go away, no meds needed.  In the meantime, I haven't been taking many photos of them with the marked up faces!  Needless to say, the Easter Lily plant has been placed out of their reach!

Sweaty hair, sidewalk chalk all over the face, dirty hands, all evidence of an awesome day spent outside!

My nephew wonders why his folks won't get him an iPhone!  Luckily Aunt Jody rescued his cell phone from the back of my truck.  I imagine he would have been bummed tomorrow morning if I had run over it!  Silly teenagers!
