Johnny Drives

Sprinkler? In March? In Ohio?

It has been a mild winter, which has turned into a HOT spring. Everyone around here keeps talking about how the pools need to open in April. Our temps have been unseasonably warm in the upper 70's and mid-80's. We bust out the sprinkler for Johnny as Auntie Sarah takes Howie to the Whipty Do. Is it summer? Sure feels like it.

Cardboard Fun

We get a big box on our front porch. It's Johnny's diapers from diapers.com! The diapers are exciting, but more exciting is the box that we can now decorate and make into a house. Daddy cuts out a door and the boys work very hard at coloring the inside and outside. Howie labels it Howie and Johnny so the owners are properly identified.

Aging

Howie just asked me, "Mommy, why some people have cracks in their eyes? Like you have some cracks."
Asking some clarifying questions, I realize he is talking about my wrinkles.
I reply, "It's because I am getting old, I'm not as young as you."
He responds, "Yah, cause you almost a grandma."

Johnny Swims (again)!

Johnny Swims!

Going Swimming

We lotion up (Howie takes the sunscreen seriously after two weeks in Florida) and hit the pool for one of our last days in the warm weather. And get this folks- Johnny is swimming almost by himself! When wearing his swim vest, he can make it across the pool with some vigorous kicking. We have some video, but I can't figure out how to upload it. I hope to have it up soon. Until then....

Bonita Springs at Sunset

We take a family walk along the beach of Bonita Springs to watch the sun set. The boys did more digging (of course!) while we enjoyed the miracle of nature.

Peter Pan

While walking past the Disney store the other day, Howie goes, "Look Mom! It's Peter Pants!"

Driveway Fun

We can have fun anywhere. Howie shares his thoughts with Daddy while Johnny plays peek-a-boo with Mommy's camera.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love celebrating Valentine's Day with all my boys. What a special day for a Mommy.
