Summer weather in spring

LIke the rest of the country, we've been relishing the nice weather lately--plenty of time outside, walks through the neighborhood, etc. Ed has been super busy working long hours at the brewery lately, so being able to take the boys outside after work has been a huge help to avoid feeling stir crazy. 
 I put Josiah in this box just for fun, because he was trying to use it to stand. TJ joined him. Tight fit!

 Mmmmm....crackers!

 The first sign of spring in our front yard--love the crocuses! What's notable about these pictures is that TJ took one and I took one. Can't remember which is which. Not bad for a 3-year-old, huh?

One late afternoon we had a picnic outside--cheese and crackers for me and Thomas and puffies for Jojo. Thomas couldn't decide if he wanted to be in or out, and every time I got up to open the door for him (it has a tricky handle that he hasn't figured out yet), Jojo lunged for the cheese. Another cheesehead in the making.

 TJ also wasn't quite ready to embrace the warm (80ish) temperatures. I couldn't get him to put shorts on, and he insisted on wearing his monkey boots.

 More Thomas photography.

 Thomas wanted to make the puffies more accessible to Josiah. Gee, thanks! That's a FEW too many.

 Totally unrelated, but one fussy night Jojo just wanted to be sitting up in bed. We finally left him that way. I came in half an hour later to find this. It might be hard to see from the angle, but he's basically sitting Indian style and then folded over in half, so his face is resting on the mattress in front of his feet. Oh to be that flexible!

 A three-boy nap, one of the advantages of having a large couch. Where's my spot, you ask? Apparently moms don't get naps. :)

Predictions based on this post are that TJ will be quite a photog and JoJo has a promising future as a yogi. :)
