Outside!

We had some relaxed family time outside today. The weather was nice - not too cold. We're trying to let them play outside as much as possible before it gets really freezing out. Their first words in the morning usually involve "outside!" and "shoes!".

Yesterday we got 3 more cozy coupes from a local triplet family (their trips are 5 years old and have moved on to bikes). The kids were excited to have so many cars to choose from.

Lucas is ready to roll!

As predicted, they still fought over their favorites.

Trying to cover dad in leaves.

Zoey's dirty pants. Sigh. I let her go outside in pale pink because she usually gets the least dirty. We really need a sandbox so they won't dig in the dirt & mulch as much.

Downspouts are fun, apparently.

Zoey trying to turn the concrete diverter under the downspout into a slide. She didn't go very fast.

All of these pics were taken within the space of an hour. And I forgot to take pics of them kicking their mini soccer balls around. They are busy kiddos!
